[CS] NYTimes.com: To: Professor at University.edu Subject: Why It's All About Me

[Elton Joe]

I wonder how all of you feel about email in regards to this article. 
I feel I might go overboard on emails sometime, but it is my preferred
method of communication because it affords all participants the
opportunity to think before they respond.

I think threatening emails should be handled like any other personal
attacks - quickly and decisively through law enforcement.

Annoying requests, if simple, should be easy to either disregard or
answer with a short note.  I wonder, though, if opinions on this area
differ between professors and students.  For instance, although today
is advising day, I haven't made any plans to meet with my advisors in
person.  I do see them in person several times a week, and email them
when pertinent.

At the beginnings of semesters, I tend to send out a lot of emails to
professors I trust for advice on classes, and also when some academic
decision comes up.  Like I said, I wonder if I go overboard on this,
but it is a crucial part of figuring out what to do in my education. 
It is especially difficult for me to figure this out at Hampshire,
where the program of study is self-designed, and there is constant
pressure from my parents and others to find a way to conform to
traditional methods of employment training.
