Code of Conduct

Conferences have them, and so do we! Please treat each other with the same care and delicacy that you would a close and sweet friend. Specifically:

• Only provide feedback when a fellow student requests it. Not everyone wants to hear feedback from people other than the instructor. Please respect this.

  • When providing feedback, be constructive. Trollish, kurt, or huffy interactions will be broken up. We are all friends here.

• Don't share other students' work unless they explicitly say that it is ok. You can and should ask!

  • You may, of course, share your own work at any time! In fact, please do so. (And a little nod to @RachelNabors is always appreciated if you have something nice to say about the class.)

• Refrain from posting antagonizing words and work. This includes hostile posts and art on topics of ethnicity, gender orientation, religion; unwanted sexual advances; being a troll; leaving hurtful and nasty feedback for other students.

  • Some people have no social skills. We have been there. If you're upsetting someone, you will get a warning to Knock It Off and correct your behavior and/or remove your work (or we will do it for you). There are no second warnings. If someone complains a second time, you will be removed from the course, no refunds, no tears.

    • For particularly hopeless and offensive people, we reserve the right to take action without issuing a warning to preserve the peace. Once again, no refunds or tears.

If someone's behavior or posts are upsetting you, let us know. We can and will intervene. Don't try to be a hero and bottle it up inside. Friction between two students can disrupt the entire class's dynamic. The sooner it's addressed, the healthier and happier all participants will be. Contact mediation@tinmagpie.training, and we will privately hear you out.
