"I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."

Linus Torvalds, 2006

Academic Email Etiquette

Check the school email address on a regular basis. You can simply forward its content to another email account that you use regularly.
Use your school's email account to send emails to professors, instructors, TA's, graders, administrators, etc. OR make sure that your email address contains your true name, not "frabjous@gmail.com", "BabyGurl@yahoo.com" or some other cool alias.
Start your email with proper salutations! Use the correct titles (Professor, Dr., etc.) and spell first and last names correctly. If you are on the first name basis with your instructors, use their names, not "Hey". For example: "Dear Professor Drummer" or "Dear Robert", not "Hey Bob".
Sign your name under the body of your email, otherwise you expect people to read emails from anonymous.
Do not write everything in upper-case letters. Do not write everything in lower-case letters.
Make sure you included everything you wanted before hitting send. Don't send three emails one after another because you forgot something in the first one.
Proofread the text in your email before sending it. Most of the email clients check for typos, but they cannot tell if your email makes much sense. Read it, before you send it.
