Email Etiquette

Although this course focuses primarily on writing research papers, composition classes are also designed to help students prepare for future coursework. This includes such tasks as producing more professional emails. Learning to write effective emails now will help you to communicate more effectively with your professors (and it's a skill you can carry with you to future courses). Alice Pawley, a professor at Purdue University (where I got my Ph.D. several years ago) has a nice overview directed at students on how to compose an effective email.
