"Hey Prof Dude"

Person writing emails on a laptop
Dean Buddle | 23 Jan 2018

One of the most interesting emails I received from a student started with “Hey Prof Dude”. I wasn’t exactly sure what to make if it, but I also recognize that it can sometimes be hard to know exactly how to start an email when you write to your instructor (Dr? Prof.? Professor?). If you struggle with this, Teaching & Learning Services has put together a fun little video with some important tips when writing emails to your instructors (spoiler: “Hey Prof Dude” may not be best choice...). Study hard, stay well, and write right. 

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. McGill honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we are located. For information about some of the Indigenous initiatives at McGill please visit the website for the Office of Indigenous Initiatives.
