When sending email or participating in a discussion group, always be polite and professional and apply basic rules of Netiquette. Even the smallest act of kindness or consideration can make a difference.
Dozens of philosophers, from Aristotle to Emerson, have pointed out this truth: "Manners make the man."
Task #1
Do you think you can recognize the violations of Netiquette rules?
You may print these Ten Rules of Netiquette to help you with this assignment. Apply what you've learned to the situations listed in the Netiquette Scenarios Worksheet. Read each scenario carefully then list the Netiquette rules that were most accurately violated for each scenario, and turn your completed list into 2.01 Netiquette Scenario Dropbox.
Task #2
Send an appropriate email to your teacher inquiring about your grade. Before pressing send, take a screen shot of your email screen and paste it into a word processing document to turn into the 2.01 Email to Teacher Screenshot Dropbox. Click here for screen shot tutorial. Here are the rules you must follow in your email:
- Include a Subject Line which reflects the content

- Be clear and concise (not too wordy)
- Use a standard font such as Times New Roman 11 (no fancy or large fonts)
- Use proper business English (no abbreviations or emoticons)
- Spellcheck and proofread
You must follow these rules for the remainder of this class. Send the email to your teacher.
