CLASSROOM POLICIES/ VIRTUAL CLASSROOM POLICIES

• Proper conduct in an online class is just as important as

in a face-to-face classroom with similar potential
repercussions for failing to maintain decorum. 
• Remember that in an online class it is common for a very
substantial portion of your grade to be a function of how
well you perform in online discussion areas and other
“classroom participation” activities. 
• Your ability to clearly and properly communicate in an
online class can be every bit as important to your success
as how you perform on multiple choice tests and written
assignments.
When communicating online, you should always:
• Treat your instructor(s) with respect, even in email or in
any other online communication.
• Always use your professors’ proper title: Dr. or Prof., or if
you're in doubt use Mr. or Ms.(Corollary:  Make sure if you
use a gender-specific title that you are clear on their
gender.  Some names can be gender ambiguous.  When
in doubt, go find a picture of them online.)
• Be mindful of mute
• Dress to impress
• Be on time!
• Visibility
• Being stationary
• Pay attention to non-verbals
• Know your environment
• Understand the purpose of why you’re online
SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS

• Make sure that you have reliable internet access
• Have a dedicated study space
• Identify your learning objectives and goals
• Build a study plan
• Ask for help when you need it
