This is a very important communication piece for any course. Students want to know how to contact their instructor and when they can expect to receive a response. They also want to know approximately when they will receive feedback after completing assignments and tests. 

This is also a good location to include your expectations regarding student/instructor interaction. OntarioLearn.com has an established Code of Conduct that all students must abide by. This is in addition to the regulations set out by your registering college.
