I think there are times when I might send a terse email or just not even respond to an email that is pissing me off because it is just unreasonable (e.g. I just submitted this make-up paper 2 weeks late but I need the grade right away! Please grade it right away!)
I put so much effort into this email because this class has not started yet and I want to get off on the right foot. Students who are already pissy and annoyed with me before the class even starts will pose more of a problem. If I can at least make them feel heard, some of them might try a little harder and push themselves.
