and signature
Body Content:
You are a student enrolled in ENC 1101.
Craft an email to your professor that:
formally introduces yourself
identifies your College Pathway or career interests
along with a rationale for this choice/interest
acknowledges you have carefully read course syllabus
and raises any questions about course materials, policies, etc.
Rationale
Regardless of your pathway (AHCD, Business, Education, Health Science, IMCT, Public Safety, STEM, or SBSHS), on the job you will literally be communicating via e-mail with scores of others with a simple touch of the Enter key, and whatever you send becomes, in a sense, part of a permanent record. Also, your e-mail will be one of potentially hundreds that your target reader receives in a week or even a single day, so you’ll want it to be read and noticed for the right reasons.
