Netiquette: 

        When sending any teachers e-mail messages, whether at school addresses or personal addresses, you always need to clearly identify the purpose of your inquiry in the subject line.  Because of spam messages and viruses, people are not likely to open messages from addresses they do not recognize that do not include a clear and relatable subject. 

       Always use professional English, punctuation, and grammar; do not fall into the bad habit of “e-speak.”  This is not appropriate for professional and academic messages.  Failure to properly use these skills in written messages reflects poorly on the sender.

        You should also show respect and professionalism through the use of a greeting with the recipients name and a closing that includes your name.  

        E-mail messages written with a blatant lack of capitalization, use of slang, informal language, and phonetic/incorrect spelling have no place in the professional work place or world of academia.  They show disrespect to the recipient and lack of thoughtfulness on the part of the writer, when sent to a superior.  You need to make a conscious effort to correct this habit through electronic communication with your current educators. 

        I will respond to direct questions about assignments before reading through and commenting on drafts of essay assignments.  You should expect to receive a response within two days (with the exception of the dates detailed on the Summer Assignment Home Page); if you do not, please re-send your original message.  During the school year, if you need information immediately, please telephone or visit my classroom personally.
