Not everyone is of the same cultural background.

Insults or abusive words towards others with differences will not be tolerated.
We value diversity.
Be sensitive when expressing your opinion.
Questions and opinions are welcome in the Discussion Forums, as long as they pertain to the course topic.
Counter-examples and counter-arguments are also welcome, as long as you are discussing the ideas and contributing to the debate, and not attacking the person who disagree with you.
You have the right to disagree, but you do not have the right to harass others or waste other people’s time.
We value diversity of opinions as it makes democracies healthy.
Do not harass or mock other learners.
Not everyone who enrolls for these courses has the same level of knowledge or background in mathematics and/or English than yours.

We value those who have only basic education in mathematics and have the courage to enroll for these math courses.
Do not cheat.
The purpose of you enrolling for this online course is to learn something new, or to increase your knowledge on a topic that you are already familiar with.

We expect you to apply your own mind.
