Netiquette Suggestions

• Keep e-mail messages brief.
  
• Respect other peoples time and bandwidth.
  
• Never use profanity in chat, e-mail, or anywhere else on the web.
  
• Don’t Spam!
  
• Never ever SHOUT [i.e., use all caps].
  
• Use humor and sarcasm with caution - everyone has a different view of what is funny.
  
• Limit mass mailing to an absolute minimum.
  
• Think before you respond.
  
• Anyone that deliberately spreads a virus should be hung by the neck until dead!
  
• Do Not monopolize conversations.
  
• Learn about the service you are entering.
  
• Make a reference to what you are responding to.
  
• Remember: What you say or send may be read by other people. Never put in a e-mail message or newsgroup posting anything you would not put on a postcard.
  
• Become familiar with Newsgroups (NG’s) by reading it’s FAQ’s before joining or posting a message.
  
• Telnet netiquette includes accessing a remote host during non-peak hours and always log-off properly before exiting.
  
• Always give credit to others whose work you use. In other words, don’t copy or plagiarize Internet content.
  
• Be forgiving of other’s mistakes online; you were once (or maybe still are) an Internet “Newbie” too.
  
• Treat other online users as you would like to be treated.
  
• Lurk before you leap; read what others have written before you post your comments - both in newsgroups and mailing lists.
  
• Share your knowledge with others; when you learn something new, pass it along to someone else who can benefit.
  
• Keep paragraphs and sentences short.
  
• Use white space - blank lines only count as one character in transmitting a message and white space makes reading easier.
  
• Use words with the precise meaning you intend to convey.
  
• Avoid using abbreviations for uncommon words.
  
• Be sure that the tone and intent of your message will not be misunderstood.
  
• It is appropriate to always put something in the Subject line. But be as descriptive, complete, concise and precise as possible.
  
• Don’t forward advertisements, pyramid schemes or chain letters.
  
• Don’t ask mundane irrelevant questions that wastes people’s time.
  
• Don’t re-post the entire message when responding to a posting.
  
• Do not pass along unsubstantiated rumors or false information.
  
• Use emoticons sparingly. They have become seriously overused.
  
• FTP - Use after normal business hours, i.e., in the middle of the night.
  
• Signature - Limit your signature file to four lines.
  
• Usenet - Do not post “Test” messages to normal newsgroups. Use the available ‘Test Newsgroups’.
  
• Do not cross-post to over 4 groups - “excessive noise”.
  
• Do not repeat “Frequently Asked Questions”.
  
• Never say “My computer” or “My program” - specify.
  
• Be sensitive to the privacy of others. Don’t broadcast private messages without permission of the author.
  
• Keep in mind that the Internet is public and it is made up of people. Don’t say or do anything in cyberspace that you wouldn't do in the “real” world.
  
• Be cognizant, kind and considerate on the Internet.
  
• Think about the social and moral aspects of files/programs you create.
  
• Remember why the Internet was created: Try to be informative, helpful, encouraging and uplifting to others.
  
• Use the Internet resources wisely. Do not waste time on the Internet or tie up the Internet’s hardware unnecessarily. If you waste Internet resources, others may be denied Internet access unfairly.
  
• The Internet is international. Respect the customs of Internet users from other countries. Avoid giving the impression of being an arrogant American!
  
• If you offend someone unintentionally, apologize. Don't let misunderstandings go uncorrected.
  
• Keep the Internet on the “high road” intellectually.
  
• Use the Internet ethically. If there are criminal or unethical opportunities presented on the Internet, turn them down. This will assure that the Internet stays free from outside regulation.
  
• If you use shareware, pay for it.
  
• Add your knowledge to the Internet to help others. However, don’t add information to the Internet that is inaccurate or false. Check your facts so others will benefit from your good information and not be misled.
  
• Don’t flame!
  
• Don’t over quote. Only include that which is vital to the reply.
  
• Don’t try to force your opinion on a public forum such as a newsgroup. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
  
• Download only material you can use. Excessive downloading ties up network bandwidth.
  
• If uploading, make sure the file you are transferring is virus-free.

Release Information

The PowerPoint Presentations contained in the above section on this web page were voluntarily given by the students in CAPP-120A (Section 0500) and OTEC-120 (Section 0502), and used with the students’ written permission.

Some presentations were extremely large in size as a result of elaborate animations and incorporation of sound files, and unfortunately could not be exhibited on this web server. This is a free web hosting service that limits the storage space allocated - measured in megabytes. This limitation would have been exceeded by several student's work. This in no way was an attempt to not show the students' work - they were extremely well done, with a lot of work put into them - it is just an issue of available space. I regret that this condition prevents showing their work . . . Ron
