Email protocols in academic study


Email protocol in academic study

Learning email protocols for academic use is significantly necessary. It is beneficial to students and teachers. The first purpose is for students to present their task in a well-organised manner. Following all these features will make student and teachers do their roles efficiently. For example, providing an appropriate subject line for an email before sending the task makes it easier for teachers to find the emailed task. Additionally, using footers and writing the student's name and date prevents giving feedback to the wrong person. Moreover,  teachers who are receiving numerous emails find it is simple to locate them an appropriate and informative subject line is used. Writing a clear and concise message is important to prevent the reader from misunderstanding the message.  Some students forget where they saved their file. By writing the file path on the footer, the student can recall where the document is located. Putting pages on the paper is also useful for the teacher to know where to start to read the document. Sending a group email is useful if the sender would like to send a similar message to a couple of students. However, make sure to use a blind copy to maintain the privacy of each receiver.  To protect all the information and file in students computer make sure to create a secure password as well as use a verification if necessary, there are some ways to verify the user using SMS, voice call or random number generator. Backing up emails is very practical to assure that students have another copy of all files. Moreover, the second objective of learning the academic email protocol is to practise the students,  to act and respond in a professional manner. Suitable address such as Mr. and Mrs. should be used if needed, and writing the correct spelling of the teacher's name will give a professional impression of the student.
