WeeklyDiscussionForumYou are expected to participate in all discussion forums weekly. Discussion questions for each week will be posted on the Discussion Forum. The questions will be available for review on your syllabus. You need to post an original response to the questions. Also, thoughtfully respond to at least two (2) other post of a peer by 11 pm of their assigned due dates, either Monday or Fridays. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Guidelines: Throughout the course of the term we will engage in discussions about Internship related issues, assignments and progress. In order to create an environment that is welcoming to all, I propose that we recognize and follow the RESPECT guidelines as follows: Recognize your communication style; Expect to learn something about yourself and others; Speak clearly and use personal examples when making a point; Participate honestly and openly; Engage in the process by listening as well as speaking; Confidentiality; Take Responsibility for yourself and what you say. Email Etiquette: When communicating via email with me, your peers, with community agencies, and human service professionals, please follow the rules listed below.
• Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation. This is not only important because
improper spelling, grammar and punctuation give a bad impression of your ability, it is also important for conveying the message properly. Paragraph with no full stops or commas are difficult to read and can sometimes even change the meaning of the text. And, if your program has a spellchecking option, use it.
• Writing in CAPITALS letters. IF YOU WRITE IN CAPITALS IT SEEMS AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING. This can be highly annoying and might trigger an unwanted response in the form of a flame mail.
• Read the posts and emails before you send it. Reading a post/email before they send it out, can help identify many spelling and grammar mistakes contained in it. Apart from this, reading your posts/email through the eyes of the recipient will help you send a more effective message and avoid misunderstandings and inappropriate comments.
• Do not use email to discuss confidential information.
