Course Emails Policies
Gather the policies on emailing in this course. You will find the course policies on the syllabus. Create an effective one-page document that states these policies that are currently only available on the syllabus. See pages 14 and 15 for a model of a poster, although yours should not be two pages. See page 160 as a model specific to how to organize. See pages 264 and 265 as a model related to white space and then space for text and graphics, including the idea of chunking. Your audience will be students who take this course since you are writing about the email policies for this course. You should use a combination of color and graphics and text to make this “poster” informative. Cover this course’s email policies and if you think the idea wise, perhaps a few netiquette guidelines learned. Be careful, though, the poster should be narrow in focus. Be professional in your creation. Be creative.
Below is the course email policies:::
Email Communication: the salutation and signature
Address the person to whom you are sending the email, especially if the email is the first one in an exchange. Here are some sample options of address aka the salutation–
Hi, Ms. Grace,
Hello, Ms. Grace
Ms. Grace,
In turn, I will email you with,
Hi, Karen,
Good afternoon, Carl,
Hello, Anthony,
After we have each addressed the other, you do not necessarily have to start with the salutation, but you should always do that on the first one in this formal academic setting. This guideline is for each email exchange, not just for the first email of the semester.
Finally, e-sign your email.
You write your last sentence, which ends with a period. Then you space down a line or two to type your name. Your first will do. But you can type your first and last.
