According to ” U Can’t Talk to Ur Professor Like This” by Molly Worthen from The New York Times, the author states that the student should not call their professors by their first name. The students need to act professionally when they are adult so they need to call their professor formally. The student should not treat their professors like a friend. In the article, Worthen  provides the result of the survey of the syllabuses from 2004 and 2010. The number of addressed issues related to classroom etiquette is increased. Some professors state that the student need to call them “Professor”. Worthen also points out that the professors should treat the students like adults before telling them to call themselves professionally.
