[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter is a freshman at Stanford. She said most profs are first name. Confident and chill vibes at Stanford. [/quote] You are not the first poster to mention profs that go by first names have more confidence. I don't think wanting students to call a prof by last name is a sign of insecurity - just a preference for more formality and boundary in the classroom - a question of style and tone. Most (but not all) of my daughter's profs at her east coast ivy also say first name is OK, but she waits until invited to do so.[/quote]
