| Jul 24, 2017 at 16:11 | comment | added | Richard Erickson | @problemofficer If you wish to be informal, avoid the use of any title and use the [first name]. However, using the wrong (i.e., "Ms" in this case) would be insulting. My personal rule of thumb for academic writing is to be formal unless indicated otherwise. | |
| Jul 24, 2017 at 16:11 | comment | added | problemofficer - n.f. Monica | After reconsideration I agree with your suggestions. It is more safe and reduces the risk of offending her by not showing enough respect. I changed my proposal. | |

change Ms to Professor

| Jul 24, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | deckeresq | @RichardErickson Was about to make the same suggestion! Definitely use the correct title (I recommend Dr. if you're unsure of their professorship standing). | |
| Jul 24, 2017 at 16:01 | comment | added | Richard Erickson | Nice answer. My only suggestion would be to use the correct title: either Dr. or Professor last name. | |
