netiquette for DQs.png

Please apply basic principles of courtesy, tolerance, and professionalism. In particular, note the following in online discussions and course-related emails:

Respect the confidentiality of what is shared in the course in order to facilitate communication and learning in this environment, as well as to respect privacy. DO NOT reveal or discuss any personally identifiable information from or about others (such as work site, comments about organization or persons, views of policies).

Keep in mind that confidentiality in the course cannot be guaranteed. Do not write anything that would be embarrassing if it were made public and never disclose trade secrets or company-confidential information.

Give citations for quoted materials or others' ideas, as in all writing for this course.

Be cautious about expressing emotion, whether intentional or unintentional, e.g., when using BOLD typeface; when using words or phrases that can stereotype people; or when responding to ideas about which one feels strongly.

Be sure to reread messages before sending, think about their potential impact, and edit as necessary.
