Professional quality email

Why is it vital

1. Academic communication is considered professional communication, so you should use professional standards when communicating with your professors.
2. Businesses rely on email a great deal. Learn to communicate well via that medium now. It will be to your advantage once you leave academia.
3. You are more likely to get what you need when you need it if you use a professional style of communicating.
4. With Dr. Bareiss, she will assume that your emails are written in a professional style and prioritizes them according. So, for example, something with an inaccurate subject matter (because it was a reply to a different topic) might be ignored for a while as it may appear less important.
