Code of Conduct (10%)

As a class, we will author a code of conduct for our course. In How to Respond to Code of Conduct Reports, Aurora and Gardiner say that a Code of Conduct should contain the following (in roughly this order):

• Optionally, a short statement describing the goal of the code of conduct
• A list of unacceptable behaviors
• A description of where the code of conduct applies
• A list of potential consequences for violating the code of conduct
• Detailed, specific, simple instructions for reporting a code of conduct violation
• A list of the people who will handle the code of conduct report
• A promise that anyone directly involved in a report will recuse themselves
• Optionally, contact information for emergency services
• Optionally, links to related documents

Using this as a roadmap as well as anything else we've learned from Aurora and Gardiner's text, we will be collaboratively writing a write a code of conduct for our "Writing New Media" class. This code should be thought of as a document that "protects members of our community from harm."

The CoC will be authored collaboratively in Google Docs, and all students will receive full credit for the assignment upon completion of this assignment.
