Academic integrity statement

Academic dishonesty is considered to be the representation of another’s work as one’s own, either directly or through complicity in falsification; cheating; plagiarism; facilitation of academic dishonesty; or infringement on the academic rights of others. For further details, please refer to Section 7.1.1 in the Student Handbook.

Netiquette statement

Communication in this course may take place online, in discussion boards, and/or through email. Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online and here are some guidelines for online communication:

Be sensitive to different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and political and religious beliefs.

Use good taste when composing your responses. Swearing and profanity should be avoided. Also, consider that slang terms can be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

Don’t use all capital letters when composing your responses. This is considered “shouting” on the Internet and impolite or aggressive. It can also be stressful on the eye when trying to read your message.

Be respectful of others’ views and opinions. Avoid “flaming” (publicly attacking or insulting) others.

Be careful when using acronyms. If you use an acronym, it is best to spell out its meaning first, then put it in parentheses afterward, such as Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). After that, you can use the acronym freely throughout your message.

Use good grammar and spelling and avoid using text messaging shortcuts.

In emails, always identify yourself and what class and section you are in. Putting your course and section in the subject line is good practice. This helps your instructor identify course-related emails.
