Email, like any other method of communication, has its own social protocols and conventions. If you need to write an email that requires feedback during work or study, or about a draft, you should consider how to best draft your email sentence, timing, and structure when drafting your email. can. A polite, concise, and specific email will help you get the response you need.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Asking for feedback at work

1. 

   Identify the most qualified person to comment on your work. Usually it will be your direct manager. In any case, you should refer to your supervisor first, or a senior colleague or peer colleague. They will have the experience to help you and give the feedback you need.

2. 

   
   
   Be polite and humble when writing emails. You should follow these general rules when writing email at work. Modesty comes in handy when you ask for feedback, but don't be so humble that your boss or manager thinks you know nothing about your job. Instead, ask questions that state your progress when working on a project or task. This will help your boss know that you're not just passively waiting for feedback. You should also keep in mind the tips below.
   • You could write something like, “I'm making a presentation for tomorrow but I have a bit of formatting problem — I'm not sure if I'm doing the standard corporate format. I have attached my presentation. Do you have any suggestions for the design part? Thank you for your support ”.
   • Don't forget to thank them in the email.

3. 

   
   
   Be specific when you ask for feedback. This can help you avoid overwhelming feedback, but it doesn't help your work. You should avoid "Yes" or "No" questions, unless it's necessary. Instead, you should focus on the specific parts of the project you need to do. Don't "terrorize" your boss or coworker with all the questions you want to ask about your job at once.
   • For example you could write something like, “I'm not sure how Eastman files are handled. The client has yet to respond to my emails, and since this is a high priority project, I think it would be best for me to email him to ask him what I should do ”.
   • If you are expecting general feedback in the form of a review or report, be specific. Be as polite, concise, and as specific as possible. For example, you can request a report on your effectiveness or creativity at work. If you are requesting feedback from your subordinates, you need to conduct an anonymous survey.

4. 

   
   
   Send thank you emails when others respond. If the feedback suggests that you need to improve a lot or your work is not really good, write a brief sentence about how you will improve. You need to give yourself time to process your emotions before you respond immediately.
   • Make sure you reply within 1-2 days.

Method 2 of 4: Asking for Feedback in Learning

1. 

   Introduce yourself. Your teachers can teach hundreds of students, especially if they are professors at university. You will need to state your first and last name (first and last name), your class and your course. If you are a high school student, you will need information about your class or when you are studying. This way, you won't waste your teachers' time thinking who you are, instead they'll spend more time responding to the information you need.

2. 

   Be polite. Sometimes students have difficulty with the first email sent to the teacher. You can start with "Hello Teacher Son" or "Dear Co Thanh". Even if the teacher sent you an email, don't use less formal language than before. Keep your tone standard. Instead of writing, “Hi, what do you think my essay is like? It's the best essay, isn't it? ”Write like this,“ I'm not sure if I correctly understand the assignment requirements. I have a few essay-related questions.

3. 

   Be brief. You don't have to explain all of the context of the question, unless the context is needed to properly understand the question. For example, if you are asking for feedback on a possible deadline extension, your teacher will need a reason for that. However, if you are just asking about your homework, don't tell them about how late your dog was making you work, why you emailed them now (unless it's close to the submission date), or if you don't anything else unrelated to the homework.

4. 

   Don't wait until the night before the test or submission date to ask for feedback. Not only will the teacher not respond when the submission is close, they will also be angry because you have waited until the last minute to consult with them. If you need to submit last minute questions, be concise, specific, and sorry. This way, it is more likely that the teacher will answer you, as long as they see the email at the right time.

5. 

   Use the file format required by the teacher. Usually your teacher will tell you during a curriculum introduction what file format they will accept for assignments or emailed. For example, if the teacher specifies the .doc file, do not send the .df or.pages format. If in doubt you can send .rtf or.pdf file, or ask your teacher.

6. 

   Ask for feedback on the essay or quiz you have submitted. Just email your professor and be polite. If the professor teaches at school, you can come see them, or make an appointment. You can say, "Dear Professor Khoa, I did not do as well on my test as expected. You can guide me through the mistakes I made so I can take my upcoming test. Is it better? " Often times, your professor will respond to this request in a pleasant way. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Ask for feedback on a manuscript

1. 

   Email an acquaintance first. If you want to get effective feedback, the best person will be an acquaintance of you, preferably a friend or colleague. When emailing acquaintances to ask for feedback, make sure you email them regularly. If you call them on a regular basis, you should probably make a call. Don't rush to send the manuscript in the first email, unless you know they'll agree (someone who has heard you read the draft or someone has been asked to help you read through it).
   • You can include a brief description or summary, depending on whether you are emailing a friend or colleague.

2. 

   Email the expert. If you really need professional advice, email an expert you know and explain the project and why you need feedback. Don't rush, but politely thank them for their care, and say, "I understand if you don't have time to respond". You can even ask if they know someone else who has the time and expertise to help you in case they can't support you.

3. 

   Don't email someone a manuscript without notice. The recipient will not usually respond to such emails unless you have explicitly stated that you will pay if they help. If they were a well-known author, they would not respond to emails like that because they received many of the same emails. Instead, first turn to friends, colleagues, professors, and more. They will help you and are eager to support you.

4. 

   Be specific about what you want to receive from the feedback. If you just want a positive feedback, let your readers know. You need to tell them if you need detailed information, local or global information, or if you want a response that is well-written, grammatically correct, or well-structured. This will be very effective in helping your readers know what to expect from them.
   • Positive feedback should be helpful. If your reader explains why they love a certain thing, you will learn a lot about your manuscript.
   • If you get negative feedback, give yourself time to respond. If they're your friends, maybe they just want to help you. If they're an expert, no matter how angry or frustrated you are, don't respond in a negative way. Instead, thank them for their support, and move on. After a while, you will probably find that their feedback is helpful, even if the way they are communicating doesn't work.

5. 

   Give the reader time to respond. If you are asking for detailed feedback on a novel draft, don't expect a response in a day or even a week.Readers need time to edit such a long manuscript. If you have a deadline to submit your manuscript, let your reader know. You can also ask if they can submit edits on a specific date. Remember that they have their own lives and obligations.

6. 

   Thank you for your help. If you turn to a friend, you can buy them a gift like a box of chocolates, or just help them back when they need it. If they are experts, you can write a thank you email to let them know that you appreciate their support and time. Forgetting to thank your readers can make them feel taken advantage of and / or not appreciated, and will make them less willing to help you in the future. advertisement

Method 4 of 4: Requesting feedback from the Customer

1. 

   Don't ask too many questions. Today's customers are overwhelmed with so many surveys from many companies. You can be confident that a customer will immediately delete your email when reading it if it contains too many questions. If you want your customers to be interested, just ask a question or two and that's it.

2. 

   Ask open-ended questions. Instead of using Yes / No questions, ask questions that provide more meaningful answers. Instead of asking, "Can you introduce us to a friend of yours?", You should ask "How would you introduce us to a friend of yours?" These types of questions give you a more informative answer than a Yes / No question.

3. 

   Let the customer know that you will get back to them promptly. This helps customers feel that their opinion will be appreciated instead of being sent to a mailbox that no one will read or care about. You will also get sincere feedback if they know that you will respond.
   • When you answer, be honest and professional. In today's pervasive network culture, you will destroy a company's reputation immediately if you respond without professionalism and sincerity.

4. 

   Don't insert flashes or anything else that makes emails load slowly. If a customer experiences a slow connection, they delete the email immediately when it cannot load the content. Remember that the feedback is often more important than those features.

5. 

   Use the right fonts and formats. Design your email professionally and clearly. An email with a shoddy picture and Comic Sans font won't usually impress a client. Instead, use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial if you are hesitant about the font to use, and ensure image quality.

6. 

   Make sure the email is designed effectively. Formatting a single column content is more efficient than a split-column format. Choose a font that's not too small. You should set up email to display fully on your laptop, phone, or tablet. Because many people check email on their phones, you need to format your email properly. advertisement
