Communication Policy
• When students need to contact lecturers via email, please use
the email address stated on the first page of the ECO2201 course
syllabus.
– Emails sent to the wrong email address would not be
answered (because the instructors do not check other emails
regularly).
– The email should have proper subject heading:

• ECO2201, section…, heading.


Communication Policy 6

• When students need to contact lecturers via email, please use the email
address stated on the first page of the ECO2201 course syllabus.
– Address your lecturers properly. Use Professor/Professor Name for those
with an academic title (e.g. Assistant Professor). Use Dr. for those with a
PhD. Never ever use the words Teacher nor Ms/Mrs to address lecturers
with a PhD. – For some, these are considered insulting terms.
– No mixing of English with Thai (or any other languages) words, e.g. no
Ka/Krub, no Ajarn – such a conduct is deemed unprofessional, and hence
it is impolite to write so to an instructor.
