Class guidelines

In order for the class to operate in the best conditions, a few guidelines have been put into place. Student are expected to follow them throughout the semester.

Live-tweeting

Live-tweeting is allowed during class, and ONLY for this class. Please tweet using the hashtags #ISCOM #IntroSM.

Students are reminded that use of social media, mobile phones and computers must be approved by school faculty. You MUST ask your other professors if you can use social media in their classes if you want to live-tweet during another class. A professor's word is final. If they say no, then do not push the topic further. For this class, Mme. Puyau has graciously accepted to let us live-tweet. When you see her at ISCOM, remember to thank her for providing us with this opportunity.
