Protocols
Protocols are guidelines or ground rules which will help your online course experience run smoothly. Your instructor will provide a set of Protocols for you to follow for your particular course.
We have provided you with a sample below. Make sure you read the Protocols for your course, as they may differ from this sample.
Classroom Expectations
The following ground rules will help your work in this course to go much more smoothly. Please carefully review these expectations and follow them.
- Don't turn in late assignments. Late submissions will not be accepted, and will result in a lower overall grade.
- Keep up with the reading. You have quite a few chapters, modules, discussion postings, and e-mail messages to read for the class. Students who keep up with the reading tend to do much better in this kind of class than those who do not.
- Don't miss quizzes; they may not be retaken.
- You are required to make every effort to work effectively and promptly with others in your groups. Fair criticism of your failure to work effectively with others will significantly affect your collaboration and participation grade.
Email
E-mail will be an integral part of this course. Make sure you:
- Check your e-mail at least twice per week (more often is better).
- Be patient. Don't expect an immediate response when you send a message. Generally, two days is considered reasonable amount of time to receive a reply.
- Be courteous and considerate. Being honest and expressing yourself freely is very important, but being considerate of others online is just as important as in the classroom.
- Sign your e-mail messages.
- Never assume that your e-mail can be read by no one except yourself; others may be able to read or access your mail. Never send or keep anything that you would not mind seeing on the evening news.
Discussion Topics
Many of the "rules of the road" or protocols that apply to e-mail also apply to the use of Discussions. Use the following conventions when composing a Discussion posting:
- During a Discussion assignment, deadlines for posting to and replying will be specified with each assignment. It is a good practice to always check the Discussions multiple times during the week.
- If you want to send a personal message to the instructor or to another student, use e-mail rather than the discussions.
- Be patient. Don't expect an immediate response when you send a message.
- Everyone should feel free to participate in class and online discussions. Regular and meaningful discussion postings constitute a substantial portion of your grade.
- Respect each other's ideas, feelings and experience.
