Explain one guideline of e-mail etiquette and why that guideline should be followed
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but students should address one of the following:
1. Send e-mail only to those who will want or need to use it. Don't forward chain e-mails, jokes, or spam. People may be too busy to read it, become irritated that you filled their inbox with irrelevant information, or may not share your sense of humor.
2. Give your e-mail a context. That means you should tell the recipient what you're writing about in the e-mail subject. Don't put "Hi," "What's up?" or "Hey" in the e-mail subject line. It is more likely to be ignored or trashed.
3. Check your spelling carefully. While the standards for spelling and grammar have been lowered a little for e-mail, sending e-mails full of typos and grammar mistakes communicates a lack of respect for yourself and the recipient.
