1. 在邮件主题中明确体现姓名、课程和主旨,便于教授辨识并及时回复。
2. 精炼简洁的自我介绍有助于建立良好的沟通基础。首先简单说明自己的姓名、年级和课程编号即可。
3. 为方便教授快速阅读和理解,请尽量简明扼要地阐述邮件目的与请求,酌情提供必要背景信息,但尽量保证正文内容不过于复杂。每段控制在五句话左右。
4. 为了显示出你的专业性,请尽可能避免使用网络用语或口头语,提倡使用 “我能否/您能否”这样的礼貌询问方式。
5. 注意认真检查邮件的语法拼写错误、附件是否完整以及主题是否清晰易懂。因为一旦发送出去就无法更改,所以这一步非常重要。
6. 在得到教授回复后,回复一封真诚的感谢信,展示出你的尊敬和感激之情。比如:
