Tip #1
Online relations are important!
Thanks to the technological development in communications,
we can today communicate with people around the world without moving from our
chairs in our apartments. The internet started a revolution that it is still in
progress and everyone that has a computer is taking part of it. With the social
networking we can communicate with people we don’t know and if we like the
people we meet online we can meet in person building a friendship. The issue
that comes from the use of internet is the use of a keyboard to express
concepts and feelings. This post is a tool I provide for students that need to
communicate everyday with professors or employers.
The most important rule to consider when we communicate on
the web is that we need to RESPECT whoever could read the post. The internet is
today accessible to everyone so the idea is that we should respect everyone.
The caution in posting something on the internet has to be followed by a
grammar check. It is very important to express every concept in the clearest
way possible avoiding miscommunications.
Writing emails to professors:
- - Avoid typing all caps.
- - Be as formal as you can at least for your first
email.
- - Be clear in your concepts.
- - Double check before sending.
- - Avoid to be sarcastic, do not joke (your
instructor could not get your joke).
- - Use a recognized account such as your university
account or an address with your name.
- - Sign your email with your name and last name.
Include your contacts just in case.
