Protocol for communicating with your instructor and your classmates on-line

If you have a question about anything related to the course, you can either visit me in my office (please see office hours) or you could communicate with me via e-mail. There is an email feature inside of Canvas , hence you can e-mail me from the Canvas page of this course. You can also e-mail me at: nnasseem@santarosa.edu or by clicking on the “ Q & A” link in the WELCOME MODULE.  Please read the following to ensure that you get a reply from me to your e-mail.

1. Each and every time you e- mail me, even when we have an e-mail trail going, begin your e-mail with a beginning salutation such as Hello Ms. Nasseem or Dear Ms. Nasseem.

2.Each and every time you e- mail me, even when we have an e-mail trail going,  include an ending salutation such as Sincerely, or Thank you, then your first  name and your last name, the course name, the section number of the class in which you are enrolled. Please be aware that I am teaching 6 classes this semester and I have many students.

Rudeness and unprofessional conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in this course. You are encouraged to conduct yourself in a friendly, mature, professional manner in your interactions with your classmates and your instructor.
