[quote=Anonymous]When I was a TA, back in the dark ages of the 2000s, undergrads called me by my first name and the profs by Professor X. We graduate students called the teaching profs (the ones we knew only because we were teaching for them) by title within earshot of the undergrads, and possibly by first name if we got to know them well after a while. We called all the PIs or professors of our own research departments, for whose labs we worked, by their first names, since research labs are very egalitarian by nature and we were with them many hours of every day. But I know some professors like to be called by their first names by all the students. That's fine. Students must start with the title, and wait to be told to use the first name. That's just common courtesy.[/quote]
