How do you communicate differently
with your instructors

as opposed to your classmates or friends?

Your relationship with your teacher

must be like your relationship with your father
or older brother

because he will assist, teach, and instruct you

Like the Prophet that says: "I will be a slave to the one who teaches me"

Your relationship with your fellow students
and friends must be more fraternal and friendly

You must stand together and wish for
none of you to be left behind or to fail

You have all started together
and must graduate together

Added to the studying relationship,
a social relationship must arise between you

as, at the end of the day, you will be
working in the same field

The relationship must be friendly
and fraternal

You must help each other
and exchange thoughts

I might be close to a teacher
outside the classroom

and we might spend time together,
but the classroom imposes certain limits

like the proverb that says, One bridge at a time

The most important element in communicating
with teachers and instructors is respect

You have to keep a distance from your teacher and respect them

and respect the hierarchical relationship
between yourself and your teacher

So, you must use different words and
a more respectful and courteous manner

When addressing a teacher, you should
use his title, Professor or Doctor or Sir.

As for my friends,
I call them by their name

How does your online versus in-person
communication differ?

In my opinion, online communication is easier

for people who are shy about asking questions
in class

But I do not think that the internet

will lead to a prompter response
than direct communication

I think that communicating through
social networks is a bit formal

because some people who probably do not know
you will log in and read information about you

while direct communication happens
with people you know, mostly

and is thus somewhat cordial

Face-to-face communication in class
is more direct

For online communication, you should try to use clearer words

and more caution

The most important thing is to use
clearer words and be clear in what you want to communicate.

What suggestions would you give to freshmen

who want to participate in class discussions?

I advise every student to participate,
even when not sure of their participation

not confident enough or not sure
about their information

because, just by participating, they can learn
and gain experience

If they only observe and do not participate
in the ongoing debate

they will not learn as much as someone
who is involved in the debate

The most important thing especially for a freshman is not to feel shy or embarrassed when you speak in class

but a the same time, you should remain
both civilized and respectful

and keep the debate in class
respectful and refined

My first advice to a freshman is to choose the
specialization he loves, not one forced upon him

My second advice is not to feel shy

Yet, he must not elaborate to the extent
of getting off the subject

I advise him to ask the question
that comes to mind

and thus show the person in front of him
or his teacher that he is interested

and wishes to learn and benefit from the class

What suggestions can you give freshmen

to communicate effectively in online discussions?

Their question must be clear, direct, and brief.

First, he should know how to ask the question.

On the internet, anyone can read what he wrote
and interpret it differently

because the tone of voice is not heard
and the facial expressions are not seen

to clarify the intention when asking
the question via the Internet

It is thus advisable to ask the question
correctly and to use the right words

in order to receive the response you are seeking

You must not share information
you are not sure about

You can also ask if you know nothing
about the subject, or conduct a research

Searching for information
is easier on the internet

Do not conduct your research through
unreliable means. Do the opposite.

For example, through the homepage
I expect every college has

or through the various social networking sites

Thus, I advise to ask and not to be shy

I advise to ask questions if you know nothing
about the subject

What are some simple ways to communicate
respectfully and with civility in class?

Do not interrupt the Professor's explanation

but take note of what you did not understand and,
when the Professor allows questions

go ahead and ask him

Try to listen more and ask questions

Your classmates may ask a question
and you might not notice

Your question might thus have already
been asked, and you would not benefit

If you are unable to ask your questions
during class

you can go to the doctor after class,
after the lecture

or while he is in his office

The ideas and views of those
in the classroom differ

so I must learn to respect the views of others

and deal with them professionally. This is my point of view, to respect the opinion of others.

To communicate respectfully and with civility

you shouldn't interrupt when someone talks,
and you shouldn't raise your voice.

you should behave and talk in class as a student, not on a personal level
