CGWorkshops Code of Conduct

CGWorkshops offer a unique online class environment. It is our intention to offer, in addition to providing high quality tutorial material, an exclusive, personalized learning environment that allows students access to direct tutoring from industry professionals and opportunities to interact within a ‘mini community’.

Harmonious conduct within the classroom site is largely a matter of good sense and common courtesy; however it is worthwhile establishing some basic guidelines.

1. Be courteous and polite. Show respect to the opinions and feelings of others and remember that CGWorkshops’ students come from a broad range of locations and are diverse in terms of their ethnic, cultural, religious and social backgrounds.

2. Think before you write. You are responsible for your own words and any harm they may cause. Remember that many students do not use English as their first language which sometimes makes written communication challenging. Be patient and considerate. if you are angered by something take some time and calm down before replying. Often posts written in haste are later regretted.

3. Don't dilute the forums with irrelevant and unnecessary gossip or chat - there are other forums for that. CGWorkshops is a professional, learning platform.
