Grape Soda 12,004 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 When I was in school yea. You are always gonna be emailing/calling someone about something. It goes from teachers/professors to your bosses. So get used to it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisssie 3,872 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm comfortable if I know the professor or if they're a professor in my major. Otherwise, I always make sure I'm grammatically correct and sound intelligent and concise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellarum generatio 3,628 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yeah, I got used to it. My only concern is whether I should be formal or more friendly, sometimes it's tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudo 1,135 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm grad school so it's pretty much not a big deal. I could see why some people find professors intimidating though - not everyone in academia is good with socializing and being friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felidae 2,742 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 No, it always makes me nervous lol Always use formal words. No matter how rude snobby short their answers are, stay polite and formal, unless they cross the boundaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junmyeonsnoodle 1,074 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I graduated like six months ago, but I never had any problems communicating with my professors. However, I will say it is really important to use professional language when emailing back and forth (also include salutations, don't use contractions, make sure to actually end the email). Also, make sure you are referring them as Dr. SoandSo if they have a doctorate. Most professors really, really care about that. If you're not sure if they have a doctorate, just call them Professor SoandSo-but never Mr or Ms SoandSo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
