Professor

I called my professor “Madam” in class today and all the students were looking at me as if I just landed from mars.

Just address by Professor Smith (replace Smith with actual last name regardless of male or feale).

or by first name ... depends on your rapport with the professor
but usually its last name with a mr or miss in the front :)

u say Professor Shrestha or whatever last name is.

or u can also say Doctor Shrestha...

those professors with doctorate degree u have to say Dr

I call them "Prof."

In the Unignited State of America, Madam is usually an offensive word. Old women are referred to as Madam.

So, call them Prof, Mr/Miss XYZ or call them by their firstname.

Prof.,
Professor Last name
or
Dr. Last name
Some like being called by their first name, some don't

Harkey is absolutely correct Just call them with Dr and their last name and if you are close enough then call them Doc.

Miss for female and Sir for guy!!!!!!!!!

i don't think, there is any problem in calling Madam.
i used to call them madam/sir for seven yrs.
some one does not like madam/sir because it is british term.
you can call them by last name.

get phone number
dial
and call
if he is not available leave a messege

just kidding hai

it takes time to be used to calling by name

Miss……(Last Name)
Prof… (Last Name)
Dr. ….
Some even prefer to call them by their first name . (I also felt very hard for my tongue getting use to these things.)

He He,
As my professor pays for me ( I am a graduate student), he wants me to call Boss. So do I and all the members of my lab.

How do you call your Professor? --- I call him using my cell phone... just kidding... Professor ----!

Dr. (last name) unless they request otherwise.

It felt pretty awkward in the beginning when I had to address some of them by their first names :)

All of you are suggesting "Prof. ". What about calling "Prof. ". Any comments?

A student working with us use that combination. I did not notice that before seeing this thread.

I use just their first names like Eamonn, Janice, Carmel, Deidre, Arnold, Wasim, Liz, and so on......

Oops, the word disappeared !!!, I meant to type:

All of you are suggesting "Prof. + Last name ". What about calling "Prof.+ First name ". Any comments?

A student working with us use that combination. I did not notice that before seeing this thread.

Thanks all,

I generally used to avoide calling them, but नानी देखि लगेको बानी भने जस्तो प्वाक्क निस्की हाल्यो and was a kind of odd.

In emails I address them as " Professor [so and so]"
when talking I call them by their first name, cuz most professors are cool and like being on first name basis with their students.
as for "madam" hahaha...dont use that word man, use "ma'am" instead, works much better. like "yes ma'am" it will still turn a few heads, but not as much if u said 'yes madan'. Never use " yes my mistress". ull get sued:)..
I dont think its a big deal to address (when emailing) them with "prof." .
I personally never use "doc" to address them. "Dr." works much better for me.

It depends , it is better to approach them or know about it from someone else in advance . Because these are small things that counts a lot!
With me, these days I call them by their pet name( lucky me!) Hehahaha! and we discuss about different desginers after the class, except for few Khadoos ones with whom I hardly communicate.
