Email Etiquette
offers an enjoyable and educational method of learning all those
“best
practices” of writing emails.
Instructions include how to quickly arrive at an email’s purpose,
how to
consider its readers and tailor your message to suit
those readers; what
information to include (and tips on how to organize that material); and
because
email is awfully easy to misinterpret
without the tone clues of spoken communication, we'll also discuss,
what style or "voice" you should choose. If requested, I will
offer instruction
on how to create distribution
lists and how to recall messages (for Windows XP users). Students leave this
class with a renewed awareness
of how their emails might come across to another reader, and they are
eager to communicate more effectively through email.
