Treat the online class as you would a physical one. Please dress appropriately, stay present throughout the session, and give your undivided attention to the instructional content. Ensure the camera shows your entire face and surroundings. Failure to comply may result in a request to adjust the camera angle. Non-compliance may lead to expulsion, with a refund of your class fee.

Dress casually but bear in mind that you will be visible to others. Avoid clothing with provocative, political, obscene, or disrespectful content. The instructor reserves the right to address attire concerns.
Be Present:
Be present in the virtual classroom for the entire duration. If other commitments arise, reschedule for a day when you can fully engage in the class without interruptions.
Respectful Communication:
Maintain a respectful tone. Disparaging or insulting comments directed at participants or absent individuals will not be tolerated and may lead to expulsion, with a refund of your class fee.

Stationary Location:
Ensure you are in a stationary location. Avoid walking around or being constantly on the move. If this is challenging, consider rescheduling for a day when you can commit to being in one place.
Online Etiquette:
