We know that using netiquette online is important, but why? In answering the question above, netiquette is very important since it enables us to learn on how to communicate to others in a respectful manner and as online students from different backgrounds and cultures, we must always avoid the use of deleterious words while responding to both our instructor and peers. As we all know that the internet has now taken the lead concerning bad netiquette, but it’s very important to understand the outcome of bad response to others because can cause a lot of confusion to others.

What are the consequences of bad netiquette in the classroom? Bad netiquette in the classroom can cause confusion, hardships, hurt, racism, and violation of others' peace.

In the end, a toxic environment will be created and learning will become difficulty to other students since a collaborative environment has been restricted, it becomes hard in giving and receiving feedback to one another effectively. When taking In one of my short courses, I was in a class where netiquette is not important this was because the class was mixed with different kinds of students from different cultures with different sorts of bad manners and you could tell this through the words they used when responding and communicating to both their mentors and classmates without any respect. Some students could not handle the stress and abusive language, so they ended up quitting. Others did not perform to their full expectations because the class wasn’t friendly at any point. Me as one of the students I felt very bad for what was happening until when the administrator suspended all those who made the class uncomfortable but they were not aware that they had been violating and demotivated many of their peers in the classroom until this day come them. So this made me understand that we must treat ours the same way want to be treated.
