Rules for Online Classes

For Students:
Dos:
1. Be ready at least 15 minutes before the class begins and check if your gadgets and connection work well.
Plugin your computer and make sure it’s charged ahead of time. Glitches in the technology mean you could
miss some vital part of your teacher’s lecture.
2. Make sure the camera is stable and that your audio or microphone works.
3. Use headphones if you have them so that unnecessary noise can be avoided.
4. Set up space, make sure it’s quiet and uninterrupted. If you have family members politely ask them not to
disturb you during the session.
