In the article U Can’t Talk to Ur Professor Like This by Molly Woethen, the author tried to convince students to use formal manners to treat their teachers or professors. Nowadays, many people use phones to text. Because of this convenience, many students  email their professor in a  casual way that they used to text to their friends or families. In order to get close to students, some professors tell students to treat them as their friends, which make students did not treat them as respectful as it should be.

The point of this argument is that respect is a mutual thing. If you want your respect, it must be earned.The article is indicating that the millennial students are lack of manners.Professors felt like they didn’t get the respect that they deserved and calling them by their first name seems to be unsuitable in the school system. What I found on the study was that professors should establish boundaries between the students and demand on respect. When talking to a professor or writing an email for inquiries, we should never ever call them by their first name.Most importantly, politeness and grammar is substantiated when speaking to a professor.However, it seems to me that many of the young students don’t know how to treat their professor with respect. And they starting to use strategy like attaching etiquette onto the syllabus insist on respect. Like I said, respect has to go both way and try to educate them on etiquette and be respectful towards professor.

In the article “U Can’t Talk to Ur Professor Like This”, Molly Worthen argues how interacting with your professor can have a great impact in students life. She says “Over the decades or two college students have become far more casual in their interactions with faculty members.” In a survey  2004 and 2010, sociologist found that students showing issues related to classroom etiquette have been doubled from 14 percent to 33 percent.  She also supports her arguments with her personal experience and her colleagues experiences in the past.  There is a special kind of relationship between teacher and student. One of her colleagues, Jacson Brown expresses how in the 1990s, most students respected her authority. But now a days, she have to clarify how students should call interact with her on the syllabus and she blames the informality of social media.

Dear Steve,

What Prof. Molly Worthen has attempted to convey to the readers of this article is that the titles and manners that are present within the higher education atmosphere exist for much more than scholars flexing their academic brawn but are in place to ensure that all who have embarked on this journey, regardless of race, color or creed are given the same respect across the board. This point is supported by numerous academic experts, who were dumbfounded by the formality and lackluster approach students gave towards simple classroom etiquette and email structure. Worthen explores all accounts, past and present to drive home the importance of these titles and manners.

Best,
Nigel Franklyn

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.

According to Molly Worthen students are not being professional in the classroom and it is leading to a declining relationship between the professor and students. She references her experiences along with other professors who have received emails that are written like text messages and not as one would expect from a professional environment.  She states that this is not related to privilege as students from the wealthy and poor backgrounds are guilty of this. The article also mentions that the proper etiquette is not new but is also not very old as in 1834 the sophomore class at Harvard vandalized and harassed a professor. After being punished by the principal the junior class retaliated by burning effigies of the principal.

According to this article that let us know right now there are many people do the thing is not informality in the internet. They do not show the respect in there. But, they do not realize that, because the respect do not need to select the location, we need to do respect in anywhere and anytime. If you want people respect you, you need to earn the respect from them. So, you need to do respect them first, then you can be able to get the respect.

Those professors have the authority to give those cues based not on whether they “good” or not, but rather on their position as the prof for that course and that experience is necessary for the real world. A high quality communication in school is building from the standard manners, and this is how people can mutual respect for each other and focus on their academic research.
