Module 2 Blog Post

One of the biggest takeaways I had from this module was how to write emails to professors correctly. In the past I feel as though the emails I have sent have not been as professional as they should be. They weren’t terribly informal either but I was not sure how to properly writing a greeting and closing in an email. The 18 tips for E-mailing You Professor article really helped me as well because it broke it down in to many different tips to use when typing an email ( https://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/professors-guide/2010/09/30/18-etiquette-tips-for-e-mailing-your-professor). I found the salutations tip to be the most helpful. Another thing that stuck out to me in this module was the video about how to deal with lazy group members. I have utilized setting multiple deadlines with groups in the past and it really does help a lot. I found the last tip in that video to be the most interesting though. I think a lot of students need to realize that sometimes school is not the most fair thing especially in terms of group work. Pushing yourself to carry the load of your other group members is not an easy task but when its needed it is well worth the effort even if the other group members are getting a free grade.
