Let's CHAT

Let's CHAT is a online forum where students and teacher will start negotiating and exchanging ideas about the different topics of the course. 

In order guarantee a private and secure conversation YOU will receive an email with a corresponding password in order to register in the forum. 

It is fundamental that all students follow these instructions when they enter the CHAT. 

1. Be Brief

So you were lucky and the recipient of your message decided to open and read your post. What they find then is a single paragraph of a thousand words, which, in the worst of cases, lacks punctuation. Frustration!

2. Spell Check & Proof Read

We are all human, so we all misspell words or make typos. That’s what spell checkers are for. Please use them.

3. DO NOT SHOUT

Typing in all CAPITALS or UPPER CASE letters, is the written equivalent of yelling or shouting. Obviously, shouting at someone is very rude. So please turn off the CAPS LOCK when communicating in writing online. If for some reason you cannot turn it off, do mention it to avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

4.Use Emoticons

It’s very difficult to express emotions in writing. Hence, use emoticons to indicate disappointment :( or a joke ;) or other feelings in your messages. Emoticons can help to avoid misunderstandings.

5. Be Courteous

Remember that there is a human being on the other side of the screen, too. They deserve to be treated with respect and courtesy, just as you would like to be treated. Moreover, everything you do online is on record and can haunt you for years to come.
