ORIENTATION: WHAT IS UCSP?
This course uses insights from Anthropology, Political
Science, and Sociology to develop students’ awareness
of cultural, social and political dynamics, and sensitivity
to cultural diversity; provide them with an understanding
of how culture, human agency, society and politics
work; and engage them in the examination of the
country’s current human development goals. At the end
of the course, students should acquire ideas about human
cultures, human agency, society and politics; recognize
cultural relativism and social inclusiveness to overcome
prejudices; and develop social and cultural competence
to guide their interactions with groups, communities,
networks, and institutions.

1. Be Respectful.
While it is easier to say hurtful or
disrespectful things without standing face-
to-face with someone, it is important to
remember that your classmates and teachers
are real people who are affected by the
words you say and write. It is essential to
keep in mind the feelings and opinions of
others, even if they differ from your own.
If you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face,
don’t say it online either.

2. Be aware of strong language,
all caps, and exclamation
points.
It is easy for written text to be misread and
misunderstood. Have you ever sent a text message
with good intent but your recipient thought you were
being rude? If so, then you’ve experienced this first-
hand. By being cognizant of strong language, you
can identify potential confusions before sending
messages.
Tip: Read everything out loud before you send it.

3. Be careful with humour
and sarcasm.
Certainly, you shouldn’t avoid being funny.
We love to see your personality shine through
in online classes. Many of our teachers are
exceptionally funny too. But like mentioned
in Rule #2, make sure that it is clear that you
are being funny and not being rude.
Emoticons and smileys can be helpful when
conveying humour or sarcasm so that it is
read correctly.

4. Yes, grammar and
spelling matter.
While texting, text speak can b gr8 4 ur
friends. In an educational setting (even
online) however, keep it formal. Your
written communication should be
professional and reflect proper writing style.
Save written shortcuts and less than stellar
grammar for chats if you want, but follow
grammar rules for school.

5. Cite your sources.
Whenever you are sharing an idea that
originated from someone else (even if it is
not word for word), it is good practice to
cite that source. This applies to discussion
forums too.
If you read a great thought in your text,
share it, but be sure to let your audience
know where you saw it first.

6. Don’t post or share (even
privately) inappropriate
material.
Enough said there.
Nothing is truly private online.

7. Be forgiving.
Remember that not everyone will know
these rules before posting. Try to be
understanding of others when they struggle
with written communication.
It is very different than simply talking to a
person face-to-face.
