[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an undergrad student, you need to call people Dr or Prof at least until invited directly to do otherwise by that specific person. As a postgrad student, it's still convention to use titles until/unless invited to do otherwise. When you have a PhD, it's convention to use first names and it would be very strange to do (or be expected to do) otherwise. I agree with the PP who said that most of the people your DD is interacting with are probably TAs, most of whom probably don't have their PhD yet.[/quote] P.S. I had students addressing me as Dr even before I had my PhD, and I just corrected them that it was a few years/months off, and that they should call me FirstName. It demonstrates respect and it's never the wrong thing to do.[/quote]
