anyone else’s professor just NOT respond to emails??
i sent my chem professor an email about the lab report format NINE DAYS AGO and still nothing. the report is due friday. ive sent a follow up too. at what point do i just show up to office hours and ambush him lol. is this normal or does my prof just hate me specifically

Log In to Replypro tip: email the TA first. they usually respond within 24 hrs and know most of the answers anyway. if they dont know theyll ask the prof for you and somehow get a faster response than you ever could
omg why didnt i think of this. emailing the TA now. you might have just saved my grade
I always put the assignment name and deadline in the subject line. Like 'Question re: Lab Report 3 (due 4/28)'. Professors get hundreds of emails and a clear subject line with urgency helps yours get noticed. Also CC the TA โ that way someone will answer.
wow I wish I knew this sooner lol
not gonna lie I was skeptical at first but after trying it for 2 weeks I'm a convert
Oh my god yes this is SO relatable. My bio professor takes an average of 12 days to respond to emails. TWELVE DAYS. I've started just going to office hours for everything because at least then they can't ignore you to your face lol
