Canvas Conference & Zoom (contact me to schedule)

Email is the best possible way to contact me (9am-5pm, M-F) and has the added bonus of recording our conversations. When emailing me, consider it a formal communication: include the appropriate salutation, your name, your question/comment, and be aware of tone. See below for a brief example or check out the Writing Center’s handout (pdf):

Dear Professor Harris,

[my question]

Thanks,

[sign your name here with your course]

Know that long conversations over email are not fruitful merely because of the limitations of technology. If you have an extended question or dilemma that cannot be answered by our online materials, please visit me during office hours or schedule an online chat/video chat. You can get my attention on Twitter for brief questions.

See this extremely helpful article about emailing your professor and why there's such an insistence on formality: "Re: Your Recent Email to your Professor." Inside Higher Ed.
