Question-in-the-Margin Notes: Read the following passage. Pretend that I am giving this as a lecture. On the next page illustrate how you would take notes according to the Question-in-the-Margin system. By doing this you have illustrated the first two steps of the question in the margin system, Record and Question. In the spaces provided at the bottom of the passage, explain the remaining 4 steps.
Before you begin a new semester you should probably review your email etiquette. The impression you make on your instructors is important and often the first impression is an email from you. For emailing your instructors you should use your college account.
Don't write anything in your email you wouldn't say in public. Anyone can easily forward your message, even when done accidentally. This could leave you in an embarrassing position if you divulge personal or confidential information. If you don't want to potentially share something you write, consider using the telephone. Use Subject Line to summarize the text of your message. With so much spam (junk email), your message will likely be deleted without being read if you don't put a subject. And be sure to use a Spell checker before you send. This is an option on most email servers. Email, like conversation, tends to be sloppier than communication on paper. That's OK, but even with email you don't want to appear excessively careless. Read the email before you send it.
Keep your message short and focused. Include your name at the bottom of the message. The message contains your e-mail address (in the header), but the many times the header may show only the user name and the recipient will not know who the message is from unless you "sign" your email. If you are sending it to your instructor, it's a good idea to identify the class you are in. (Use the HELP section to create a signature block if you wish, but here I simply mean include your name.) You should check your Email at least once a day. Answer pertinent emails as soon as possible. Email is an important tool for communication. Make sure you are using it to your advantage.
