email homework

CT: Email (2) Due: 10/14/2015

This competency test is due by the start of your class on 10/14/2015. Late competency tests will not be accepted for course credit, but will be evaluated for learning purposes. This is an individual (not a group) competency test. Unless otherwise specified by your instructor, this competency test must be submitted as a hard copy (vs. electronic submission), and the assignment must be typed. Successful completion of this competency test gives you the second and final opportunity to demonstrate the following competency toward your class grade: email. If you have already demonstrated mastery of the “email” competency, you are not required to complete (or submit) this competency test.

email: create and effective and professional email communication on a particular, specified topic.

guidelines for how to define “effective” and “professional” will be provided in class.

Class registration for the Spring, 2016 semester begins on 10/26, and the specific schedule of classes will be made available 10/22. Links to the major maps for the engineering degree programs offered at the Poly campus can be found on the following page; these provide you with guidelines about the classes you’ll want to register for next semester. For this competency test, and as you prepare for the important task of registering for spring classes, compose an email to your course instructor with the following content (and don’t forget to also incorporate in your email the attributes of professional and effective email discussed in class):

· What is your specific major?

· Which classes do you anticipate registering for in Spring, 2016.

· Which one of these classes are you most looking forward to AND why?

· Which one of these classes are you the most concerned / apprehensive about AND why?

You will need to use the provided template to compose an email (note: do not actually send the email – you’ll submit a hard copy of the file). The template is a .docx document, posted to blackboard along with the file (this one) that describes the competency test requirements. Be sure to use the attributes of effective professional email that we discussed during class. For your reference (and in addition to the content contained within the posted class slides from 9/2), there is also a document posted to the “handouts and resources” section of the course blackboard site that summarizes attributes of an effective and professional email.

The grading rubric for how this test will be assessed is attached, along with some guidelines for how to write an effective and professional email. In your email (again, written using the posted document template, not actually sent to your EGR 101 instructor), use the following subject line for your note: [EGR101] CT: Email (Your_Last_Name_Here)
