Which should you NOT do when emailing a faculty or staff member?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the question: 'Which should you NOT do when emailing a faculty or staff member?' The options present a mix of appropriate and inappropriate email practices.
Option 1: 'include your course title and section #' — This is a helpful detail that helps the recipient identify your class context quickly. Including course title and section number is generally encouraged.
Option 2: 'use all CAPS and lots of abbreviations and slang' — This is the behavior you should avoid. ALL CAPS can come across as shouting in written communication, and heavy slang or excessive abbreviations can reduce clarity and appear unprofessional. This choice represents poor email etiquette.
Option 3: 'include your full name (first and last) and RU ID#' — Providing your full name ensures the recipient knows who you are, and including an RU ID# helps locate your records if needed. This is a sensible and professional practice.
Option 4: 'explain the reason for your email' — Stating the purpose of the email upfront helps the recipient understand and respond efficiently. This is a recommended practice.
In summary, the only option that describes behavior you should avoid is Option 2, while the other options reflect appropriate and effective email etiquette.
