15 Netiquette Rules for Students

See if your question has already been asked, before asking. It only takes a moment to scan the conversation.
Post information and links that are relevant to the discussion.
Remember, when you type in all capital letters, it looks like you’re screaming at the audience.
Refrain from anger and sarcasm.
Remember that courtesy counts.
Respect all opinions, even if you disagree with them.
There’s no room for guesswork when interacting online. Netiquette calls for accuracy, so check your sources.
Summarize responses from peers to your website, blog or another social network. This is always good netiquette.
Keep your posts brief. Online chat should not be a dissertation.
Never vilify your peers’ responses.
Don’t plagiarize. If you reference something in the conversation, cite your sources.
Conduct proper research, instead of relying on others to answer factual questions you can easily locate with a Google search.
No parrots allowed on the Internet. If someone already answered a question, you needn’t answer it again.
Forgive mistakes in netiquette. No one is perfect.
Remember proper mechanics. Check your spelling and grammar before posting. People like good prose, even on the Internet.
