Email Dr. Lucas

I would like to remind students that I use different email addresses for different classes. Please, to get the quickest response from me, use the email address that I have given you on your class syllabus, and no other. I rarely check the “official” Macon State email address, so I would discourage you from ever using that. Also, do not use the message system within Humanities Online.

Also consult my email policy to be sure you include all the necessary information in any email you send to me.

Email addresses are as follows:

If the class you are in is not listed above, please consult your syllabus. Looking for Dr. Lucas’ personal email? See grlucas.net or use the contact form.

Email Policy Update

Dr. Lucas — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:19:08 +0000

A few days ago, I received the following email:

HUH???!!?

While the email did include the student’s name, I did not receive any of the other necessary information needed for me to respond.

Please be considerate when sending me, or any of your professors, an email. Please review my email policy and kindly follow it. I also ask that you not email me using Humanities Online; use the email address that I gave you on your syllabus. I will not respond to emails that do not include all of the appropriate information, nor will I respond to emails that have the tone or address inappropriate for addressing a college professor.

Thank you for your consideration.

In the Spring semester 2005, MSC began using the email account provided free of charge to all students as an official means of communication. Therefore, email is a mandatory requirement of all my classes. Please become familiar with the email system and get into the habit of checking it regularly, at least once a day.

Please be considerate when emailing your professors: always include your name, the class that you are in, and why you are emailing me. Also, please use a descriptive subject line so I can tell right away what your email concerns. Sending me the complete information will not only make my life easier, but shows consideration for your recipient and will result in a speedy response. This said: any email that does not contain all of the necessary information will be deleted. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

I use a unique email address for each of the classes I teach. Please be sure you are using the correct one. I usually do not check email on weekends or holidays. Thank you for your understanding.

If your class uses Humanities Online, I would encourage you to not use the internal messaging system for contacting me. Always use the email address that I put on your syllabus.

Finally, do not send the same message to me twice. I.e., do not send me an email at my Macon State address and CC me at another. You only need to send it to me once.

If you sent me an email, and I did not reply, here are some reasons why that might be the case:

No subject line
Incorrect or mistyped email address
You did not include the necessary information; e.g. I don’t know who you are or what class you are in
You did not ask a question
The email was rude or abusive

If you do not hear back from me within 24 hours (excluding weekends), then you might wish to review your sent message for any of the above errors.
