I tell my students they can call me anything but Mrs. or Miss. I
even tell them there is no Mr. Fallshore, so the Mrs. doesn't make any
sense (of course, this causes them to assume I'm not married). I tell
them they can call me Ms. Fallshore, Dr. Fallshore, Dr. Marte, or just
plain Marte, I don't

Just this fall semester I started witha "new" intro psych book. The copyright is 2004, 2002. And guess what, there is a brand new edition coming out in March already! I am rather perturbed, as I will have to re-prep materials for both regular and online sections. Plus, of course, no used copies
In response to the question about revison intervals, the text by Dennis
Coon is still on a 3 year cycle.

It always seems that it's the students that I don't want to call
me by my first name that do and the ones I don't care about,
don't. My .02,
I feel the same way. Some of my best and favorite students call me
Dr. whereas the ones that give me the most headaches call me by my
first name.
Sorry, Mike, but I'm gonna take the bait. I thought that Michael's
question was actually a funny question, perhaps because it had never
occurred to me before! I guess it could happen the same way that a man
and woman could be married while one (or both) of them were not
(primarily) heterosexual.
Dr Hetzel-
:) I don't have a single response to your question either. We tend to
get a lot of first in the family college students who don't think there
is any difference in Dr. So-and-so and their high school teachers (not
to say that some high school teachers aren't also PhDs). Anyway, I tend
to
Because my ex-husband is actually married to a man, I have
come to use the word wife more as a description of who does
what (is that evil?? I have been a wife before -- it had nothing,
really, to do with my sex, gender, or sexual preference... ;-) ...)
My kids think of mjb/Dad and kh/his

Great idea!

My students are reading Stanovich's How to Think Straight about
Psychology. Stanovich describes the Turing proposal (end of Chp 3) and
the basic test: Can a human communicating with a computer and
communicating with a human being (in another room) tell who is the
computer and who is the human?
The Turing Test was a thought experiment, suggested by Alan Turing as a criterion with
which to answer the question Can a computer be intelligent? (or something similar,
anyway).
It's not an actual description of a single historical event with a specific computer.

I've been lurking on this one, but I'll venture a comment:
When I was an undergrad (at a small, prestigious US college) there
was a cultural expectation that all teachers would be called Mr/Mrs/Ms,
for the expressed reason that this would prevent degreeism . Good
idea. In my present faculty
It's taken me 6 years, but I've gotten to the point where I don't care whether I get:Dr. Frigo, Miss Frigo (even though I'm married), Mrs. Frigo (even though that's my mother!), Ms. Frigo, orProfessor Frigo. I don't encourage use of the first name and "Hey teacher" is not quite acceptable, either.
I've been lurking on this one as well, but I'll put in my two cents worth.
I tell students that I prefer them to call me by my first name. I also
tell them that I understand that they may have difficulty addressing an
older person by their first name and in that case they can call me Mr.
Allen.
I took me a long time to get used to the rather formal system that we have. (I prefer
first names.) Students most frequently call us professors. Most of the rest use
doctor. We do have the occassional student who uses doctor or professor with all of
her male professors and Mrs. with her female
It was actually intended as
a kind of "thought experiment" about what the criterion for attibuting
intelligence to machines, not an actual test. Then Loebner started
running an actual (though limited) "Turing Test" competition in (I
think) Boston about 15 years ago. For a while it was taken
OK. Another lurker post.
Here are some variants that I haven't seen mentioned yet. As a middle aged
southern female, I'm often called ma'am. I'm okay with that. I achieved
the age of Ma'am-dom some years ago. I have also sometimes been called
Miss Jacque -- which I suppose (or reckon if
