In the article “U Can’t Talk to Ur Professor Like This”, author Molly Worthen expresses the need for students to abide by proper communication etiquette between students and professors. She first begins to describe her struggle with easing from traditional formal courtesy, in her own words attempting to pass herself off as a cool professor. However, she soon realized that allowing informal behavior gave birth to a lot of poorly written emails and a general decline in respect for her title. The author then sites the experiences of other professors and describes the level of contention in whether or not to allow certain behavior from students. Finally, she describes that having these boundaries is essential to not only protect the professors, but to prepare students for real world expectations.
