Got Netiquette? Whether you have taken on online class or not, it is important to understand netiquette. According to www.businessdictionary.com, netiquette is "proper manners on the Internet." Here are a few rules of behavior that I have picked up over the years that will ensure you are using proper manners when you contact your instructors and comment on your classmates' posts:
- Identify yourself.
- Be concise. If your question is about an assignment, include which one.
- Use appropriate language. Avoid being rude and ugly
- Remember your tone. Avoid all caps (i.e. screaming), using emoticons incorrectly, etc.
- Say thank you.

Module 2 Pre-Assessment
Pre-assessments are designed to tap into your prior knowledge. Do not worry if you do not know everything -- use your test-taking skills to help you make educated guesses. If you get a question wrong, read the feedback the quiz offers you so that you understand why.
Module 2 Lesson 1 Notes
Lesson 1 is "Leadership Theories." The notes are divided into the following topics: Leadership Is…, What is a leader?, What is leadership?, What are the foundations of leadership?, Trait Theory, Behavior Theory, Autocratic Leaders, Democratic Leaders, Laissez-faire Leaders, Contingency Theory, and Power & Influence Theory. If you cannot see the notes, follow the directions at the top of the page to enable mixed media. There is also a video to help you if you learn best with visuals. At the end of the notes, take the Check Your Knowledge assessment. Then screenshot your results - avoid posting just your score by including enough of the quiz to identify which quiz you took.
Module 2 Lesson 1 Assignment - Case Study: Steve Jobs
Heard of Steve Jobs and Apple? For this activity, you will read a short biography of his dynamic leadership. As you read, fill out the template (linked in the assignment) by offering specific evidence of each leadership theory he practiced on the job. Be sure you are choosing evidence that fits the appropriate theory -- you are being graded on how well you can apply the theories to a real-world example. To earn full credit, state the evidence from the reading and then explain how the evidence relates to the related theory. When you write your paragraph, reference the evidence from the reading as well as the content from the lesson notes - show me that you really understand the theories.
