Title: Email Policy Check
Course: CJ601-01:Seminar in the Administration of Criminal Justice > Section: Preparing for Graduate Study & for the Course

Q: In the example below, Joe Student has emailed me three times about missing a class.

What issue, if any, is present in this stream of emails?
- Joe has not allowed 72 hours for the professor to respond
- Joe has misspelled the professor's name
- The subject line gives absolutely no indication for the purpose of the email
- There is no issue with emailing the professor like this
A: Joe has not allowed 72 hours for the professor to respond

Q: Looking closer at one of the emails that Joe Student sent me, we see that he wants to meet with me to discuss what he missed in class.

Given that his other emails have similar requests, seemingly sent immediately after missing class, is this an appropriate request?
- No. It doesn't seem that Joe attempted to look over the material, or reach out to his fellow classmates before emailing the professor
- No. Joe's email seems demanding
- No. Joe has completely ignored office hours
- Yes. This is an appropriate request.
A: No. It doesn't seem that Joe attempted to look over the material, or reach out to his fellow classmates before emailing the professor

Q: In the email below, Jackie has requested to chat with me either tonight or tomorrow about the Assignment that is due tomorrow.

Is this an appropriate request?
- No. She has not given the necessary 1-week window to schedule a meeting
- No. She should know how to deal with Assignment 3
- No. Her request doesn't seem immediate enough
- Yes. This is a totally appropriate request.
A: No. She has not given the necessary 1-week window to schedule a meeting

Q: In the email below, Jackie has requested immediate assistance. How might she get the immediate help she needs?
- She could reach out to fellow students (via the Slack channel, the Canvas Discussion Board, or by email)
- She doesn't "really" need an answer
- She should be able to figure it out without any help
- She should contact another professor in the School
A: She could reach out to fellow students (via the Slack channel, the Canvas Discussion Board, or by email)

Q: Chad's email below does not conform to the rules outlined in the syllabus, the email policy, or the emailing guide. What are some problems with the message?
- It is unprofessional (e.g. no professional greeting/sign off, lowercase, typos, etc.)
- It gives no identifying information about the sender or the intended receiver
- It provides no context for the course in which he is enrolled nor to the assignment to which he is referring.
- Because of missing class, he is requesting an extension on an assignment but does not offer to provide documentation as reasoning for the request.
- He is requesting an immediate meeting, in hopes to review missed material.
- All of the above. (This is a bad look, all around, for Chad)
- The message is missing a subject line
A: All of the above. (This is a bad look, all around, for Chad)
