=== Electronic Mail Standards of Conduct ===

Email communications (and all communications generally) among UW community members should seek to respect the rights and privileges of all members of the academic community. This includes not interfering with university functions or endangering the health, welfare, or safety of other persons. With this in mind, in addition to the [http://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=478-120 University of Washington's Student Conduct Code], I establishes the following standards of conduct in respect to electronic communications among students and faculty:

* If, as a student, you have a question about course content or procedures, please use the online discussion board designed for this purpose. If you have specific questions about your performance, contact me directly.
* I strive to respond to Email communications within 48 hours. If you do not hear from me, please come to my office, call me, or send me a reminder Email.
* Email communications should be limited to occasional messages necessary to the specific educational experience at hand.
* Email communications should not include any CC-ing of anyone not directly involved in the specific educational experience at hand.
* Email communications should not include any blind-CC-ing to third parties, regardless of the third party’s relevance to the matter at hand.
