When you study for a class, have you ever struggled to complete your homework and cannot find the necessary help from your friends? In that case, you definitely need some resources that can help you solve your questions
.
A few of you out there may really need some extra help, but most of you don’t take advantage of office hours (I know I didn't when I was a freshman.). Some of you may say, “If I cannot learn it during class, why would I go to office hours?” But the truth is, some one-on-one help, or even just small groups working with one instructor or TA, means that not only are your specific questions going to be answered, but the instructor will be there to tell you why, and make sure you understand that question. So come to your instructor’s office hours as it is always the most help resource you can find.
Now you may say, what if the instructor is not available during office hours but I really need some help? There are always plenty of academic assistance and services you can find online!
