AB  - Establishing connections between professors and students is known to enhance students’ educational experiences. Among other benefits, increased comfort with professors may encourage students to seek out help, talk to them, and get advice. Part of establishing those connections may be professors sharing information about themselves; however, at times professors may not know what students want to know. The author of this paper determined what students want to know by including a question in a pre-course survey that was sent out by the professor prior to the start of the class. This survey originally asked only about the students themselves – the pronunciation of their name, when they took the pre-requisite class and how well they felt they retained it, what concerns they might have about the class, and similar items. In 2023, a question was added to ask students what they wanted to know about the professor; the answers to those questions were then typically provided through a document or announcement on Blackboard, for the benefit of the whole class. In this paper, the questions asked by students are described, with typical questions noted and trends identified. This information could be helpful to professors who are trying to build stronger connections to their students, as it gives them an idea of what students may actually want to know about professors.
