Email Etiquette
Emails sent to me should have the following:
The question topic and problem number is clearly stated; in the below example, the student is asking about homework assignment #6, problem 42.
The email has a professional salutation. Individuals should be addressed using the preferred prefix and name. In my case, “Dr. Civiletti” or
“Professor Civiletti” are both fine.
The email is written in complete sentences with proper punctuation.
The email contains a professional valediction, such as “All the best”, “Best”, “Sincerely”, “Thanks”, etc.
I will try to reply to all emails within three (3) days. Please don’t email me regarding the same question unless a response is not forthcoming within three (3) days. If our email correspondence requires more than a single reply, please reply to the same email chain so that I can follow the conversation. If you have a separate question, please use the email form.
