When using email to communicate with lecturers or the coordinator, you should always make sure that your message contains the following:

1. Your email subject must contain the unit code and briefly describes the nature of your query or request.

2. Address your lecturer appropriately.

3. State your question or request clearly and concisely on the message body (avoid using Gpts to support you in writing the email as it may not help you send the message across)

4. Insert a signature at the end of your email that contains:

a.      your name in full

b.      your student number

Please make sure that you use only one email thread when you want to discuss one subject area.

Your lecturer will inform you if there are additional requirements for communicating by email.

While lecturers cannot be available online all day, in normal circumstances your lecturer will reply within 3 working days.
