Time Commitment:
-
One credit hour (spent in class) requires two hours spent outside of class.
-
So, for a one unit 16-week class, students should be allocating three hours a week.
-
For a 3 unit 16-week class, students should be allocating 9 hours a week for their class, time in class and student preparation time.

Netiquette
Complete description you can find on following link: Netiquette, simply defined, means etiquette on the Internet. In an online course, you will be speaking through writing both to fellow students and instructors. It is imperative to communicate well and professionally. The golden rule of netiquette in an online class or environment is, do not do or say online what you would not do or say offline.
