Discussion "Netiquette" & Tips

Discussion forums are used to communicate with other students on a specific topic or general course question. Postings should be thoughtful and reflect your understanding of the subject matter. You are required to respond to your classmates each week. Please use proper Netiquette (Internet/Email Etiquette) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. when corresponding, posting or commenting in the online environment. I will monitor all discussion forums to make sure you are on the right track, and will respond at least one per week with a summary of the thoughts of the class. If someone asks for help or posts a question

12

in the Q&A section, please feel free to respond. I will monitor that board as well to clarify any misinformation when needed.

Netiquette Tips

Identify yourself:o Begin messages with a salutation and end them with your name.o Use a signature (a footer with your identifying information) at the end of a message

Include a subject line. Give a descriptive phrase in the subject line of the message header that tells the topic of the message (not just "Hi, there!").

Avoid sarcasm. People who don't know you may misinterpret its meaning. Respect others' privacy. Do not quote or forward personal email without the original

author's permission. Acknowledge and return messages promptly. Copy with caution. Don't copy everyone you know on each message. No spam (a.k.a. junk mail). Don't contribute to worthless information on the Internet by

sending or responding to mass postings of chain letters, rumors, etc. Be concise. Keep messages concise—about one screen, as a rule of thumb. Use appropriate language:

o Avoid coarse, rough, or rude language.o Observe good grammar and spelling.

Use appropriate emoticons (emotion icons) to help convey meaning. Use "smiley's" or punctuation such as :-) to convey emotions. View the list of emoticons at Netlingo (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and SmugBook (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Use appropriate intensifiers to help convey meaning.o Avoid "flaming" (online "screaming") or sentences typed in all caps.o Use asterisks surrounding words to indicate italics used for emphasis (*at last*).o Use words in brackets, such as (grin), to show a state of mind.o Use common acronyms (e.g., LOL for "laugh out loud").

Be courteous to the other students in the class. You might find it helpful to read your posting out loud before you submit it: the "tone" is a very important part of electronic communication. When you read your message out loud does it sound the way you would speak to another student in the classroom?

Refrain from inappropriate language. Never make derogatory comments toward another person in the class. You can disagree with ideas, but do not make personal attacks.

F1. Online Assignments:

There are online assignments corresponding with chapters in your textbook. Each on-line assignment portal will be available for a minimum of 1 week before its respective due date. It is the student’s responsibility to access the on-line assignment through the BeachBoard portal for the relevant session. Additional pertinent information will be posted in the course module for the corresponding weekly session when the assignment is due. The online assignments are due

to be completed by midnight on Sunday before the start of the next week of instruction. Late online assignments will not be accepted.

The online assignments will earn points as follows:Depth of response, personal insight, application and reflection = 4ptsIncorporation of assignment reading concepts = 3 ptsSpelling and grammar = 3 pts

F2. Online Exercises:

Each week there will be an exercise and a written deliverable associated with it. Sometimes these will be team activities; in those cases everyone on the team will receive the same score. On other occasions the deliverable will be an individual assignment.

F3. Exams and Quizzes:

Most weeks there will be a quiz associated with the reading. You will have 3 attempts to complete the quiz before the due date, the highest score will be kept.

Additionally, there will be a mid-term and a final exam (multiple choice/T-F format). The exam questions will come from the readings, class lectures. The mid-term will cover the first 7 weeks of instruction; the final will be cumulative, emphasizing material from weeks 8-15. Students absent for either the mid-term or final exam must provide written third party documentation of unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances in order to be eligible to take a make-up exam. Disabled students who qualify for alternative testing arrangements, please advise the instructor at least 2 weeks prior to the exam. You will have one attempt for these exams.

F4. Presentation Case Write-up:

The case application will look at an HR challenge in a healthcare setting such as, “Staffing, ” “Executive Compensation,” or “Training.” You are encouraged to come up with your own case example. You will turn in a 2-3 page executive summary that will outline the case problem and either real or suggested solution. A format for this summary will be provided in class and further discussion about the assignment will take place at that time. This document will be the summary and content for your final video presentation.

A format for you to follow will be posted in "content" under "Assignment Format Instructions" on the course within Beachboard.

Grading is based on clarity of writing, use of proper grammar, organization of the material, your critical insights and interviews and your ability to add additional references to clarify and support your conclusions.

It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor in advance of the need for accommodation of a university verified disability (PS 11-07, Course Syllabi and Standard Course Outlines).

Students needing special consideration for class format and schedule due to religious observance or military obligations must notify the instructor in advance of those needs.

Students who require additional time or other accommodation for assignments must secure verification/assistance from the CSULB Bob Murphy Access Center (BMAC) office located at the Student Success Center. The telephone number is (562) 985-5401.

Accommodation is a process in which the student, BMAC, and instructor each play an important role. Students contact BMAC so that their eligibility and need for accommodation can be determined. BMAC identifies how much time is required for each exam. The student is responsible for discussing his/her need with the instructor and for making appropriate arrangements. Students who are eligible to receive accommodation should present an Accommodation Cover Letter and a BMAC Student/Teacher Testing Agreement Form to the instructor as early in the semester as possible, but no later than a week before the first test. (It takes one week to schedule taking an exam at the BMAC office.) The instructor welcomes the opportunity to implement the accommodations determined by BMAC. Please ask the instructor if you have any questions.
