The last class was about writing an email inquiry. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how this was helpful to us, I did find it weird writing to someone who might not even respond back. After going through the exercise, I can see how it’s beneficial for us. It helps us communicate and connect with people that have experience and have a similar field study to us. To me, this sounds like you are looking for a mentor to help guide you with your questions or concerns to help improve yourself.

While writing the email, I wasn’t really sure what to write while using the sample. I did my best to write something that was praising the person as well as get to the point in what I contacted them for. Professor Michael gave some great advice on improving the email by telling me to be more specific in which of the work this person has done that interested me the most. This is so I am not vague about the information I am writing about. The class helped informed me about the importance of writing an email inquiry. I will put what I’ve learned to good use in the future.
