My teachers assistant (TA) gave me his number?

[Anonymous]

I emailed my TA of how he did a good job of helping us learn the course material out professor taught us, and I wished him good luck in his future. At the end of the email, he included his cell phone number and his email address. Is this normal? I've seen mass emails he's sent to the whole class, and he didn't include his number.

When I was a TA, there were no cell phones. However, I did have an office and my office phone was public so any kid could call me.

If I was a TA today, I'd have a dedicated cell phone and email address for students.

Now, if this guy wants to get personal...

Yeah it's normal depending on what he teaches. Be you can keep in touch with him and maybe you can use him for a reference one day.

Pretty normal for most professionals to include contact information in the email signature, it's usually set up to do automatically.

He's probably offering it to help you if you need him and is not interested in yo' ass. Sorry boo.
