Some professors have started adding
netiquette (email etiquette) to their syllabus. I guess what is great about the digital world (i can text u or instant message you in 5 seconds any time i want to) is also what is bad about the digital world (i can text u or instant message you in 5 seconds any time i want to).
Here are some
netiquette tips compiled by David Tuffley at Griffith University and edited by eLearn Magazine:
- Don't expect an immediate response to your email.
- Consider your audience.
- Check your syllabus before asking unnecessary questions.
- Use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
The most recent student email I received was "WHERE ARE MY GRADES!!! CLASS ENDED LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO!!!" I forwarded the email to their professor, hopefully the student has GOTTEN HIS/HER GRADES!!! OMG!!!
