Just let it go – it happens to the best of us. If your classmate makes a mistake, don’t badger him or her for it.
Check the most recent comments before you reply to an older comment, since the issue might have already been resolved or opinions may have changed. Before asking a question, check the class FAQs or search the internet to see if the answer is obvious or easy to find. If you refer to something your classmate said earlier in the discussion, quote justa few key lines from their post so that others wont have to go back and figure out which post you’re referring to. You may disagree with their ideas, but don’t mock the person. Don’t badmouth others or call them stupid. If you write a long dissertation in response to a simple question, it’s unlikely that anyone will spend the time to read through it all. If you ask a question and many people respond, summarize all answers and post that summary to benefit your whole class. If you reply to a question from a classmate, make sure your answer is accurate! If you’re not 100% sure when the paper is due, DO NOT GUESS! Otherwise, you could really mess things up for your classmates and they will not appreciate it. Acknowledge that others are entitled to have their own perspective on the issue. If you feel the need to disagree, do so respectfully and acknowledge the valid points in your classmate’s argument.
Respect the opinions of your classmates. Always remember to say “Please” and “Thank you” when soliciting help from your classmates. Don’t write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, even as a joke, because without hearing your tone of voice, your peers might not realize you’re joking. Don’t type in ALL CAPS! If you do, it will look like you’re screaming. Stay on topic – =on’t post irrelevant links, comments, thoughts, or pictures. Just as you wouldn’t repeat a topic of discussion right after it happened in real life, don’t do that in discussion boards either. Before posting your question to a discussion board, check if anyone has asked it already and received a reply. If there are no cards left in the stock, they are out of the game.“Netiquette” refers to rules of etiquette that apply to online communication.įollow these 15 rules of netiquette to make sure you sound respectful, polite, and knowledgeable when you post to your class’s online discussion boards. During the game, if a player is left without cards, they may (when it's their turn to play), draw from the stock and then ask for cards of that rank. The winner is the player with the most books. The game ends when all thirteen books have been won.
If the player goes fishing without "making a catch" (does not receive a card he asked for), the turn passes to the left. If a player gets the fourth card of a book, the player shows all four cards, places them on the table face up in front of everyone, and plays again. When a player makes a catch, they must reveal the card so that the catch is verified. So long as the player succeeds in getting cards (makes a catch), their turn continues. The player can ask for the same card or a different one. If a player gets one or more cards of the named rank that was asked for, they are entitled to ask the same or another player for a card. If the player has none, they say, "Go fish!" and the player who made the request draws the top card of the stock and places it in their hand. The player who is addressed must hand over all the cards requested. The player who is "fishing “must have at least one card of the rank that was asked for in their hand. The player to the left of the dealer looks directly at any opponent and says, for example, "Give me your kings," usually addressing the opponent by name and specifying the rank that they want, from ace down to two. The remainder of the pack is placed face down on the table to form the stock. If four or five people are playing, each receives five cards.
If two or three people are playing, each player receives seven cards. The dealer completes the cut and deals the cards clockwise one at a time, face down, beginning with the player to the left. The dealer shuffles the cards, and the player to the right cuts them. The player with the lowest card is the dealer. The DealĪny player deals one card face up to each player. The suits are not important, only the card numbers are relevant, such as two 3s, two 10s, and so on. The cards rank from ace (high) to two (low). A book is any four of a kind, such as four kings, four aces, and so on. The goal is to win the most "books" of cards. Some cards will be dealt and the rest will form the stock pile. Go Fish is a fun game that will amuse and entertain even the youngest card players.
