1. Contact the instructor directly to set up a meeting. This meeting should be in person or by telephone. 2. If the issues are not resolved satisfactorily for the student, the student should then consult with the course coordinator if the course is a team-taught course. 3. If the issues are not resolved satisfactorily for the student, then the student should first make an appointment with the program director, then the assistant dean for student affairs and finally the dean for the School of Nursing. 4. If the student’s concerns are still not resolved upon meeting with all these individuals, the student should refer to UMKC’s Student Grievance Process.

Your Role & Expectations in Online Learning In an online program, a significant part of the learning experience is dependent on student engagement in learning through online discussions.

Just as there are certain expectations for decorum in a face-to-face class, there are expectations for decorum in an online class. You may have heard of netiquette, a term used to describe online decorum. Here is a general statement about our expectations regarding class netiquette. Your instructor and fellow students wish to foster a safe on-line learning environment. All opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse.

You are encouraged to comment, question, or critique an idea but you are not to attack an individual. Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University’s nondiscrimination statement, will add richness to this learning experience. Please consider that sarcasm and humor can be misconstrued in online interactions and generate unintended disruptions. Working as a community of learners, we can build a polite and respectful course ambience. In addition, there is an expectation that you will be building professional competencies in the program. NURSE 125 Metropolitan Community College

Therefore, netiquette in the program goes beyond some of the simple guidelines for netiquette to guidelines that encourage you to demonstrate your growth and development in critical thinking, communication skill, leadership/management, professional valuing/caring, and teaching/learning. Examples of these are described below. N125/HLSC 125 Fall Semester/2021-1/TB Curriculum Committee Approved: 09/18/12, 03/16/16 Faculty Steering Approved: 10/10/12, 04/13/16 Faculty Assembly Approved: 05/11/16 General Netiquette Guidelines Core Rules of Netiquette at http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html DO NOT USE ALL-CAPS OR BOLD FOR YOUR ENTIRE POST! IT MAKES IT SEEM AS THOUGH YOU ARE SHOUTING AT YOUR AUDIENCE! “Netiquette” suggests that to do so is being rude. Only use CAPS and bold for emphasis.

• • • • • • • • • It is easy for messages to be misinterpreted since there are no physical gestures or voice inflections that accompany the text. o Make sure everyone realizes when you are trying to be funny. o Emoticons can facilitate the reader understanding your feelings but do use them sparingly. When responding to someone’s comments, explain to whom and what you are commenting on. o Do not include their whole posting. o Try to use only the appropriate quotes or a summary. Be careful posting anything that is personal to you or others. If your posting is for a specific person or group, make sure you address it to them. Realize, however, that others will probably read it.

Remember to read what has previously been posted by others to avoid repeating comments. Make sure you are posting under the appropriate heading or thread. Be brief when posting. Since reading other’s comments or articles can be very time consuming, try to be straight to the point. Sign every message the way you like to be addressed, i.e., your name is Cynthia but you go by Cindy. Avoid attachments when possible. They slow down reading of entries, and therefore, may not be read at all. Critical Thinking CHANGED TO Clinical/Professional Judgment • • • Opinions must be supported by the literature or stated clearly as opinions based in personal experience. Cite your references. o Practice using APA style for references cited or quoted in text. Use the readings in conjunction with your experience for your postings whenever possible, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the readings. • • N125/HLSC 125 Fall Semester/2021-1/TB Curriculum Committee Approved: 09/18/12, 03/16/16 Faculty Steering Approved: 10/10/12, 04/13/16 Faculty Assembly Approved: 05/11/16 Communication Skill • • • • • • • • The content of every message is to be free of typographical errors and demonstrate proper language skills. o Sentences are required to start with capital letters. o Sentences have both a noun and verb, and punctuation at the end. Choose a descriptive subject for your postings. This will help other students to successfully identify your topic and to find the posting later when necessary. Pay close attention to what your classmates write in their online comments. Ask clarifying questions, when appropriate. These questions are meant to probe and shed new light, not to minimize or devalue comments. Provide enough of the content you are responding to in your posting so that others will not have to go back and figure out what you’re talking about — because typically they won’t. o If your message isn’t delivered, you haven’t communicated. NURSE 125 Metropolitan Community College

Think through and re-read your comments before you post them. 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? Disagree with ideas, but do not make personal attacks.

Be open to be challenged or confronted on your ideas or prejudices. Course discussion boards are not to be used to whine, complain, or criticize, unless there is a discussion board specifically created for this, i.e., Rants & Raves & Remedies • Leadership/Management • • Be willing to change. Post questions that your classmates may also need the answers to the discussion board, rather than using a private e-mail. Only questions that do not pass the “Rules for the Acid Test” should be privately e-mailed. o Rules for the Acid Test ▪ The contents are highly personal in nature.

▪ The only possible person that can answer the question is the instructor. ▪ The instructor’s answer is not the business of anyone else in the class.

Please refrain from inappropriate language and personal attacks. Make a personal commitment to learning about, understanding, and supporting your peers.
