Fall 2026

ZOOM NORMS
Before Class:
- If you can, establish a consistent, quiet, well-lit location. It is best to sit at a table or desk.
- Dress appropriately.
- Gather everything you will need, so you can avoid moving around during class.
- Close out distracting tabs/windows that aren’t related to class so you can be present.
- Turn off desktop notifications and mute your phone.
- Check your camera angle and lighting. Make sure your whole face is visible and well lit.
- Make sure your display name is your actual name - otherwise you will NOT be admitted into the meeting.
During Class:
- When you click on the meeting link (found in Navigation Bar in Canvas), make sure you allow Zoom access
to BOTH your audio and video.
- Once you are in the meeting, please Mute yourself and Stop the Video (if you prefer).
- You can Unmute yourself and Start the Video if you have a question during the lecture.
- If you get disconnected during a lecture, simply click the meeting link again and you will be back in the
meeting.
- Attendance/Participation Grade: You need these 3 items to get full credit for attendance/participation for
that day.
1. When you get into the meeting, the Chat window will act as a sign-in
sheet. This is like I am passing the in-class sign-in sheet around the
classroom. You must sign-in with your full name in the Chat window.
That is how I will take attendance and know when you arrive to class.
2. During the lecture, for certain questions I will have you type in your
answers in the Chat window. These are called “3-2-1-Go” questions.
Meaning, that you should NOT submit your answer until I say “Go.”
- Note: if you are not responding to these questions, I will follow-up
with you to ask why you are not participating.
3. When the lecture is finished, you will “sign-off” in the Chat window - like, “Bye”, “See ya”, etc.
After Class:
- I will keep the meeting open until everyone signs-off and leaves the Meeting. That way if you have a
question you can ask it as students are leaving.
- I will be recording the sessions – but only my screen gets recorded. You will be able to view them later as
links on Canvas.
- You are required to upload your complete lecture notes. The submission time will be within 10 minutes after
class.
I am aware and understand the Zoom Norms. By signing this document, I give permission for Dr. Murray to
record all sessions for internal use at GCC. If I have concerns, I will reach out to Dr. Murray; otherwise, she will
assume that I am agreeing to these norms.
