Be respectful and make use of office hours.
Catherine Denial is the Bright Distinguished Professor of American History at Knox College in Illinois. Below she shares her top 4 tips for building relationships with your college professors.
I ask my students to call me Cate, but if you’re not sure what name to use with your instructor, default to using ‘Professor.’ Even if you mean it with the greatest respect, avoid calling them Mx., Ms., or Mr. Those prefixes erase all the years your professor spent in graduate school being trained in their field and researching their dissertation to prove their expertise.
Start your email with a salutation. ‘Dear Professor’ works great. “Hey Janet!” doesn’t. Be formal until your professor tells you otherwise. But don’t omit a greeting altogether—that seems unprofessional and hurried, and leaves many professors thinking you don’t care about the message.
