When needing to ask a professor about something important and potentially delicate, what is an appropriate way to phrase the question or write the email?
Examples include:
- Requesting a recommendation letter
- Asking for exceptions to policy (e.g., ignoring a course prerequisite, rescheduling an exam)
- Asking if you can do research with them, join a group, get into a program
- Scheduling a meeting, exam, or defense
- Letting them know about a change of plans
- Letting them know about a life event affecting your work or studies (e.g., wedding, funeral, sickness, vacation)
