Subsection 1.4 Email Etiquette

When you send an email, your message should contain the following information
Subject
A few words that describe the content of your email along with the course identifier (Math 1031 - 63789).
Salutation
A professional greeting such as “Dear” or “Hello” followed by the appropriate honorific and the recipient’s last name (e.g. Dr. X).
  • If the person you are addressing holds a doctorate (e.g. a Ph.D.), then you should address the recipient as Dr. X, never Mr. X, Ms. X, or Mrs. X.
  • If you are unsure, Professor X is generally a safe way to address a faculty member.
Body
A concise message that clearly expresses the purpose of your email.
Signature
A simple closing (e.g. “Sincerely,” “Thank you,” “Best regards,” etc.) followed by your first and last name.
For your convenience, included below is an example email.

Subject: Meeting - Math 1031 - 63789
Dear Dr. Farman,
I am having trouble with this week’s homework. I have tried working through the examples in the text, but I am struggling to understand the concepts involved. Could we schedule a time to meet before the next class to discuss some of the concepts in more detail?
Thank you,
Jane Doe
