Students will _always_ call me "Dr. Hyatt". That's ok as that is what I called faculty with a Ph.D. when I was in school. Others will call me (more rarely) "Professor Hyatt". Students that I know well sometimes will relax far enough for "Bob" which is also ok by me. Since any of the options you gave are technically correct (Except I would never go the "professor dr. robert hyatt" approach as that is far too gaudy and pretentious) you can use any you want. "Robert Hyatt" or "Bob Hyatt" is certainly good enough. Some go nuts if their earned title is not used. It doesn't bother me one iota... >... > >>Hi, >>the name isn't: >>Dr. Robert Hyatt >>(without Dr. because after my information Mr. Robert Hyatt isn't "Dr."). >>Right is Prof. Robert Hyatt without "Dr." >>Robert is a Prof. without Dr. !! >>This is a different ... but the most means that a Prof. must be a "Dr." too :-) >>Best >>Frank > >I disagree.
