| Jul 29, 2015 at 19:43 | comment | added | ewormuth | Good point. I should always identify myself as American culture/usage. | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 18:55 | comment | added | Liana | Warning: this is location dependent. In the UK it is not always correct to address the instructor as "professor" -- Professor is a higher level than Dr. There are also places where Dr is mostly used for postdocs and it is considered rude to address tenured faculty as Dr. Always worth checking! | |
