PASS Scheme Peer Assisted Study Sessions Dr. Emily Mather is the Psychology PASS Academic Co-ordinator. E-mail: emily.mather@hull.ac.uk The student leaders are not there to re-teach material; they are there to help you work together to develop your understanding. 2nd and 3rd Year student volunteers work in small teams to help 1st Year students in weekly timetabled sessions.

PASS Scheme The sessions begin from Week 3. The sessions are linked to the ‘Theory and Explorations 1’ module. The sessions run on Monday 9.15am, Wednesday 12.15pm, and Friday 10.15am.

Email etiquette

Email etiquette Different sorts of academic staff at uni: Lecturers Senior Lecturers Professors Administrative staff Postgraduates Academic Staff are involved in teaching & research Most effective way & more frequent of communicating: emails

Email etiquette Rules to follow: Informal emails are meant for emails to your friends, colleagues, university staff Formal emails: applications for jobs, interviews, internships, etc. When emailing someone you don’t know, formal emails = safe option (few people are offended by somebody being too polite!)

Email etiquette: informal emails Start the email by greeting, addressing the person you’re writing to: Dear Julie, Dear Dr Castronovo, Hello Julie, Hi Julie, Bonjour Julie, Hello all, “Dear Julie,” is fine. Most members of staff prefer to be called by their 1st name. “Dear Dr Castronovo” is fine too (just make me sound old) “Hi Julie” or “Hello Julie”

Email etiquette: informal emails Start the email by greeting, addressing the person you’re writing to: Hiya! Hey! Yo Julie!

Email etiquette: informal emails Short & to the point! Politeness = NOT an option “Please” “Thank you” “Can I have” “I want...” “Give me...”

Email etiquette: informal emails Use correct grammatical English Avoid text-speak and obscure acronyms “Would it be possible for me to come and see you tomorrow?” “U there 2mro? Need 2 c u.” “Dear Julie,” is fine. Most members of staff prefer to be called by their 1st name. “Dear Dr Castronovo” is fine too (just make me sound old) “Hi Julie” or “Hello Julie”

Email etiquette: informal emails Provide enough details: your name, year, module... Level? Who? What? “My name is Russell Sprout. I am in year 1. Could you please remind me the reference you talked about in the last lecture on Learning & Working (w5)?” “What is the reference, you talked about?” “Dear Julie,” is fine. Most members of staff prefer to be called by their 1st name. “Dear Dr Castronovo” is fine too (just make me sound old) “Hi Julie” or “Hello Julie” Which module?

Email etiquette: informal emails Sign off with your name Use some closing salutation “Best wishes,” “Best regards,” “With kind regards,” “Cheerio,” ”

Email etiquette: formal emails Previous rules, but applied in a stricter manner You must address the email Sign off with a closing salutation & your full un-contracted first name and surname “Dear Dr. Smith” “Dear Professor Smith,” “Dear Sir or Madam,” “With kind regards, Michael Jones” Golden rules if you are applying for a job!!
