being used shall be turned on during the duration of the virtual session. Trainees are
encouraged to keep their background uncluttered. The microphone should be muted
unless otherwise requested to unmute. Questions and comments during the virtual
session should be coursed through the chat box. Most importantly, the trainee is
expected to share in the conversation. For the maximum benefit to all, everyone must
contribute.

liable to break from time to time. If for any reason you experience any difficulty, please
call, email, or otherwise inform the CATC about the issue.
3. Use Proper Writing Style: An online training or virtual class is a professional
environment. Correct spelling, grammar, and style are expected in all academic
undertaking even if it is online. Refrain from using text speak or linguistic shortcuts
(e.g. :-), emoticons and c u l8r) or other bodies of language that are not part of academic
dialogue.

it must be constructive, well-meaning, and well-articulated. Rants directed at any
