Emailing the Professor
As a professor in a college of education, my job has aspects that are directly vocational -- help to prepare teachers who will be successful. As someone who teaches philosophy (among other things), that aspect often gets pushed to the background, as I strive to give my students conceptual frameworks and other information that does not seem to be immediately applicable to classroom use. I'm fine with that and I try to be as honest as possible with my students about the content of my course and its perceived practicality.
Here's something, however, that has immediate use and will help students be successful in the world of teaching or any other professional situation:
How to Email Your Professor
I welcome emails and enjoy communication with students. Constructing emails that are professional and quickly and accurately get to the point is a skill that students need to develop. I'm trying to help my students develop it. So send me emails, but treat them appropriately.
OK?THX.BYE!
