[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there aren't any schools where most/many faculty prefer to be called by their first names? You think OP's DD was just wrong about that?[/quote] I am a professor who has posted here. Once a student has been in personal contact with me (office hours, email) I tell them to use my first name. I still expect those students to write me emails that are professional in nature but they can use my first name. If I have never communicated with a student, then first name use assumes a level of familiarity that isn't there. It likely wasn't just the title, it was likely also the tone or style or content of the email - writing to a prof in the same way you would write to your friend isn't the right style for prof-student communication.
