Good review of best practices when writing e-mails. Some new insight (brought to you by the letter Y) included.
However I disagree that you should spend less time checking e-mails - colleagues would appreciate a quicker response to their e-mails over any work that you're going to submit to your boss that (s)he will never read.
Also there should be more emphasis on making your e-mails look cleaner including using line breaks, bullet points and charts.

This is an outstanding course. I especially liked the discussions on selecting the right medium, drafting a compelling subject line, implementing a consistent structure, and proofreading an email. Kindly double check the answer to question 8 which conflicts with the training slides. Thank you for a highly valuable course.

I like the clear delivering of the course message regarding how an email can serve its purpose effectively - there may be some points that are easily forgotten in daily life and it helps remind us of how every seemingly minor area can have a significant impact. Thanks.

Great advice to avoid embarrassing or misleading business communication via emails. I appreciated the examples shared by the presenter of what not to do and quick suggested corrections. I will definitely spend a few more seconds proofreading my emails before sending.

Another great course from Elizabeth Danziger. She provides helpful oversight and great reminders we should all keep in mind. Enjoyed the conversation around only checking emails during natural breaks. I hope to break my habit of constantly checking emails.

Initially, I thought this course would be too long. I couldn't imagine it would take 2 hours to explain how to effectively email. The course was excellent. I wish this course was a requirement for my coworkers.

Great tips. I need to keep these in mind. Reading out loud is a wonderful tip and I use the Read Aloud Outlook feature on important emails.
