Course Content
Students will be responsible for accessing course material on JSU’s instance of Blackboard Learn.
Network Etiquette
Communication in an online class takes special consideration. Please read the short list of tips below.
 Be sensitive and reflective to what others are saying.
 Don't use all caps. It is the equivalent of screaming.
 Don't flame - These are outbursts of extreme emotion or opinion.
 Think before you hit the post (enter/reply) button. You can't take it back!
 Don't use offensive language.
 Use clear subject lines.
 Don't use abbreviations or acronyms unless the entire class knows them.
 Be forgiving. Anyone can make a mistake.
 Keep the dialog collegial and professional.
Missed Work
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have the equipment, Internet access, and necessary skills to interact in a
technology rich environment. Failure of technology, loss of Internet access, or insufficient technology skills will not be accepted
as an excuse to miss or turn in late work. Allow time in your schedule to learn necessary technology skills and to buffer in
potential technology failure. If your computer crashes, find a substitute such as ask a friend or use one of the many computers
on campus.
