“So class, that is all for today…”. A line said by the Professor that brings a wave of relief after lecture is over for the day…but is it over? You still have to review your notes and make sure there is nothing that you do not understand. But I have a million questions and none of my friends know how to answer them and my textbook is a waste of my life, and I don’t know what to do or where to go!!! I neeeeeeeeed heeeeelpppppppppppp! Where better to go for help than to the person that taught you the lecture…your professor?
If there is any advice I would give anybody going to university is to get to know your Professor. They are there to help you and guide you through the material. Sure there are lots of students in the class and if all of them tried to get help, the Prof would be swamped. But very few students actually take the time to go to their Professor’s office hours to ask questions so you are more likely to be able to get the help you need than you originally thought.
Professors can be really accommodating. If you are unable to make it during their office hours, many are more than willing to schedule time for you to come in and get help. I have a few Profs who are like that and they make life sooo much easier for me.
Many of my Profs are concerned about how their students are doing; if the student wants to accomplish it, they will help facilitate. They want you to succeed and they want people in their class to get good grades and they want people to take their classes next semester. They also want high ratings on that well-known website that reveals all about Profs.
It’s all a question of whether you are going to take that step to talk to them.
