E-mails

Purpose

To teach students how to write a formal email as one of the tasks of the technical writing course as well as to knowing different types of emails.

Outcome

Now I have to ability to write formal and clear emails. I am no longer confusing people and I learned how to become a more practical person.

Feedback

We learned that there will be some sensitivity because of different accents. Consequently, the best thing to do was to say "hello" or "dear" as a greeting  which earlier was a point that I would have never considered. 

In this course we learned how to write formal e-mails. In this page you will find several types of emails such as from a student to student, from a president to group of members, and from a student to instructor. The purpose is to show different types of email. In addition, this page will include a list to do and to do not tips regarding writing e-mails, which was attained from what we learned during class.
