Student Guidelines for being in an online course

These guidelines are to ensure that every student in this course has a great experience. Please read through
these and try to abide by them throughout this course.

1) If you are not speaking in a Zoom class session, please make sure to keep your microphone muted so it
does not interfere with everyone's audio.
2) There should be limited outside distractions during our Zoom class sessions (i.e., there should not be other
people or animals around you, or anything too distracting on the walls – inappropriate posters, etc. - while
in class).
3) All background noise should be kept to a minimum during a Zoom session (i.e., TV sound, radios, dogs
barking, etc.). Try to be in a quiet environment.
4) No screen shots or pictures are to be taken during a Zoom class session without permission of all class
members.
5) Remember that written messages can read differently than if they were said orally. Keep this in mind while
writing responses and questions to other students and to your instructor.
6) Messages written in the Chat window during a session are saved automatically. Be mindful of what you
write and share.
7) Be respectful of others while they are talking. Stay off your phones, other devices, and social media to
respect your instructor and class members while in class.
8) When you have a question or something you'd like to say, you can use the raise hand function located in
the Participant panel.
9) Dress comfortably and professionally.
10) When in breakout rooms for partner or group activities, you are expected to be respectful of your fellow
classmates and to work together to complete the activity.

environment have been addressed.
