How Is Email Used In Conjunction With The Course?

Email is the way a student and instructor communicate and also provides a way for all members of the class to carry on "classroom" discussions with each other.

For Class Assignments

When composing email for class discussion it is important that you observe the following guidelines:

• Keep your messages to no more than one screen's length; no more than two or three paragraphs.
• Get to the point of your message quickly and stick to it. Messages that are short and to the point will be appreciated by everyone.
• Use proper formating. Use capital letters only where appropriate. Use punctuation. Separate paragraphs with a blank line. In other words, use the same formating conventions that you would use when typing a business letter. This ensures your message is easy to read and understand.

It's good to respond to other people's comments and questions, but do so in a polite manner. Don't write in an email anything you wouldn't say to someone in person.

The more we share our questions, ideas, and suggestions, the more valuable our learning will be.
