刚在UCL上完Advanced Econometrics,鼓起勇气发了封‘Hi Prof, I didn’t understand slide 42…’的邮件——48小时已读不回,连自动回复都没有。
? 场景1:邮件提问,别做‘模糊刺客’
- ❌ 错误示范:‘Can you explain week 3?’(教授教5门课,week 3是哪门?)
- ✅ 亲测有效:‘In Quantitative Methods for Social Sciences (Lecture 3, Oct 10), slide 17 shows the p-value threshold adjustment—could you clarify how Bonferroni applies when comparing 4 subgroups?’
? 场景2:Office Hour前,带‘三件套’入场
- ? 打印出对应PPT页(手写标注第几行卡壳);
- ? 带笔记本电脑,打开Jupyter Notebook中你跑错的代码片段;
- ⏱️ 提前5分钟到,用手机计时——严格控时3分钟/问题,教授真会给你递咖啡续时!
? 场景3:线上答疑时,开口就赢一半
- ?? 别说‘I don’t get it’——改口说‘I followed steps A→B but got output X instead of expected Y—did I miss a parameter in the R function?’
- ? 爱丁堡大学某统计系导师亲口说:“学生能复述我讲过的术语+指出具体偏差,我当场记下名字,推荐TA申RA岗位。”
✨ 亲测有效的2条铁律:
① 邮件标题写死:[QMS][Lec4] Q on logistic regression intercept interpretation;
② 教授说‘Let’s discuss next time’——立刻回:‘Thanks! I’ll bring printed outputs and my attempted solution. Shall I email them in advance?’(牛津学生实测,回复率↑70%)
