NETIQUETTE PSYCHOLOGY BIOLOGY

RESPONSE TO JAMES DISCUSSION BELOW
Netiquette is important in online communication, because tone, cadence, and emotion can be difficult to convey digitally and lead to miscommunication. Using netiquette reduces the likelihood of an offensive encounter. Students in this class can apply netiquette when
responding to other student’s discussion posts by responding thoughtfully, treating others’ opinions respectfully even when in disagreement, and refraining from personal insults or remarks. I believe the most important part of netiquette is to be respectful. The internet can
be a place where conversations feel impersonal, so people may feel emboldened to spout things they would think twice about saying if in public. I think being mindful that there is another human being at the end of your message, post, or email is important when communicating over a digital medium.
