Email Etiquette (Required for CAL Online Students)

Here are some basic guidelines for email as part of your Cal Online course:

1. EMAIL ADDRESS.  Use an email address that uses part of your first or last name (With 20-30 students in a class, it is difficult for a teacher to know who you are if all they see is “surferdude@hotmail.com” or volleyballchic12@yahoo.com.)
2. SPELLING.  Spell words correctly.  Use of some shortcuts is ok (such as J, gtg, lol, cu, etc.)
3. YOUR NAME.  Put your name at the end of each email.  Most email systems allow you to include a “signature” at the end.  This automatically puts your name and email address at the end of each message.   (It is frustrating to a teacher who doesn’t know who an email is from).
