Blog I: Spring 2019 (For M&W and T&R Classes)

For this blog post, please read this article by Professor Portwood-Stacer entitled, "How to Email Your Professor (without being annoying AF) Article Link and answer the following questions in connection with the discussions we have had on technical writing and emails:

1.  Name the primary, secondary, and tertiary readers of this document.

2.  What type of action does the author expect students to take in this document?  Also, are these, in your opinion, reasonable requests?

3.  Does this article contain any legal, ethical, or political dimensions?  If so, please explain this in your blog.

For a successful blog, aim for two paragraphs on this article.   It would be easiest to frame this as a reaction to the author's ideas and using the terms of art to analyze it as a technical document.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
