Collaboration Guidelines

At ReDI School, we value professional collaboration. That means we ask you to follow our communication standards, notify teachers when you can't join, use your camera during meetings, and participate via a laptop. These guidelines are standard practice in companies. Thanks for following them during your course!

💬 Attendance & Absence

Attendance Policy

• Regular attendance is crucial for your learning journey

• We require 80% attendance to receive your certificate at the end of the course

• Attendance is tracked for each session:

  • Full attendance when you join on time

  • Half attendance if you join late

  • No attendance if you miss a session

Absence Notification

If you cannot attend a session:

1. Notify your teachers at least 24 hours in advance when possible

2. Use your Course Slack channel to communicate your absence

3. Provide a brief reason for your absence

This professional courtesy helps teachers plan accordingly and is standard practice in workplace environments.

🎦 Camera-On Policy

We ask all students to keep their cameras on during sessions. This is important because:

• It creates a more engaging learning environment

• It helps teachers "read the room" - they understand easier if the class can follow

• It simulates professional video meetings in tech companies

• It demonstrates respect for your peers and teachers

If you're unable to have your camera on for any reason:

1. Let your teachers know in advance

2. Explain your situation briefly

3. Try to find a solution for future sessions

💻 Join via a Laptop

• Join via a laptop or desktop computer, not a mobile device.

• This ensures you can participate fully in coding exercises

• A proper setup allows you to:

  • Follow along with live coding

  • Split your screen between video call and code editor

  • Use the necessary development tools effectively

🙌 Professional Communication

• Use Slack to communicate

• Respond to messages within 24 hours

• Use clear, respectful language

• Share challenges openly - everyone is here to learn

---

Summary
