Writing emails

Usual caveats apply when writing an email, including:

• Be precise in what you are looking for. If you ask along the line of »I wanted to know if it is currently possible to write a bachelor thesis«, the answer is probably yes, but why are writing me? At least tell me what you are interested in! Embedded system? Verification? SAT? Theoretical work? Implementation?

• Be precise about your background: »I am looking for a bachelor thesis« is nice, but what is your background? ESE? CS? I will judge you based on your email, so make it complete

• Be precise about the related courses: »I took an Isabelle lecture and a SAT lecture« or »I did have an Isabelle lecture, but I already had a Lean lecture« is something you should mention.

• Don’t be overly precise though: »I am interested in verification since I am 6« is not something I want to see in an email (I have read enough variants of it in motivation letters).

I know that this is more work, but it largely increases the likelihood of getting an answer.
