Subject: Advice on Best Practices for Email Writing Peer Review
Hello Nicholas,
Thank you for submitting your email writing advice for peer review. Your advice looks well organized and easy to follow.
First Impressions
The layout of the email is easy to follow. Having the tips as a bullet point list allows the reader to easily scan for tips. The minimal use of pronouns in the body demonstrates good use of the “You-Attitude”.
Organization
The email was organized well with dedicated “Introduction”, “Body”, and “Conclusion” sections. Spacing and font choices were also consistent and not distracting.
Introduction
Introduction to the email is straightforward and immediately presents the purpose of the email. The introduction is also worded professionally and does not criticize the reader for their email writing skills.
Body
The body contains useful tips that are specific to corresponding with professors. The body also demonstrates good use of the “you-attitude” by eliminating the use of “you” and avoiding imperatives.
Conclusion
The conclusion uses a positive and polite tone and clearly demonstrates “you-attitude” by focusing on “us” instead of “you” to avoid singling out the reader.
Grammar
No noticeable grammatical errors were present in the email.
Your email is well constructed and contains very useful tips that pertain directly to the topic of communicating with professors. It was a very enjoyable read. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
