Is it normal to give a gift to professor?
Hi,
I am new to US culture and I am not sure if its normal to give a gift to my professor.
because Im visiting my country for this summer break, I am thinking to buy a gift for my advisor. I want to give her a gift because she helped me a lot in her office hours for last 2 semesters. But what I am worried about is that.. because I have more classes to take with her in futre semesters, she may think my gift has inappropriate hidden meaning about my grade.
what do you think? will she think I have agenda behind my gift? or will she understand that I am giving her a gift for appreciation about her assist for last year?
So,, Is it normal to give my professor a gift from my country????
