• Your lecturers receive many emails a day, and may also teach more than one unit, so if your email does not contain the unit code; it is not possible to place your message in context. If the subject does not indicate the nature of the message, it may well remain unanswered.

2.       Change the default setting on your email program to include previous messages in replies, and make sure that previous messages are included in an ongoing exchange.

4.       State your question or request clearly and concisely.

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

• Your name in full as it appears in Callista
