C0LLAB0RATI0N N0RNS

1. !"#$%&': auslng before respondlng or asklng a quesLlon allows Llme for Lhlnklng and
enhances dlalogue.

2. !")"*+)"$%&': uslng a paraphrase or anoLher Leam member's sLaLemenLs allows members
of Lhe group Lo hear and undersLand each oLher beLLer as Lhey conslder ldeas and formulaLe
declslons.

7

3. !),-%&' for speclflclLy: uslng genLle, open-mlnded probes or lnqulrles, such as "l'm curlous
abouL..." or "l'd llke Lo hear more abouL....", lncreases Lhe clarlLy and preclslon of Lhe group's
Lhlnklng.

4. !#..%&' ldeas on Lhe Lable and *#//%&' Lhem off: ldeas are Lhe hearL of a meanlngful
dlalogue. Label Lhe lnLenLlon of your commenLs by saylng, for example, "Cne LhoughL l have

blocklng dlalogue or "deralllng" Lhe process and Lherefore should be Laken off Lhe Lable.

3. !"0%&' aLLenLlon Lo self and oLhers. Meanlngful dlalogue ls faclllLaLed when each group

6. !)1$#2%&' poslLlve lnLenLlons: Assumlng LhaL oLhers' lnLenLlons are poslLlve promoLes and

BISNISSAL

Even in non-instiuctional moments, it is ciitically impoitant to maintain a stiuctuieu

uiess coue senus a symbolic anu physical message that we aie in an impoitant,
piofessional enviionment anu that in oui classiooms we aie engageu in foimal acauemic

uiess the pait.

0ui piofessional uiess coue iequiies the following:

Skiits oi slacks (no jeans oi shoits, skiits & uiesses must be knee length)
Piofessional shiits. Women's shiits must not be low-cut oi have spaghetti stiaps.

In oiuei to accomplish the tiemenuous goals we have set foith, we must woik collectively

Email is not a place to solve conflicts. Conflicts shoulu be hanuleu in peison to ensuie theie
is not miscommunication that can easily be misinteipieteu via email. In the event that the
people involveu piefei email communication, the communication shoulu always be uiiectly
between the two people anu theie shoulu be a conveisation, even if it's shoit, to ensuie the
conflict has been iesolveu.

We all woik incieuibly haiu. Being on email all houis of the night is unhealthy. You may
senu emails whenevei you like, but you shoulu not expect a iesponse aftei 8pm. Foi
