If I don't understand something in class, I usually start by trying to figure it out on my own through search online. If it's a simple question, I might ask a classmate. If it's more complex, I'll usually wait until after class to ask the lecturer, so as not to disrupt the flow of the class. If I still don't understand something after asking my classmates or the lecturer, I might send an email for further clarification to lecturer.
When I don't understand something in class I'll underline it and ask my teacher to explain more after finish the class if they are able to help.
I prefer to arrive at the house to study the subject.
First of all, I stay quiet, mainly, if I realized that everybody it's learning easily because I stay shame, so if not be a dumb question I ask, the opposite, I just search on the internet after
First i try to understand if not then i ask my teacher to explain again.
When you don't understand something in class, what do you do?
When I don't understand something in class, I usually ask the teacher to explain it again in order to get it right.
to be honest. it is quite difficult to catch him because he breathe too loud. however, after reading transcript it make me sense immediately. i would practice my listening skill with some task which have to do with the former topic.
I ask my friends for I can't understand it. Then, I ask my teacher about it and If I don't understand again , I search it on net
Several times, I have faced such a situation that I did not understand enough well. I have followed the same follow-up question as in the listening. Commonly, asked classmates about the topics, if I did not catch them. Even though, I set with my classmate, and try to get the missed topic from him.
Whether I find some topics or lessons that I do not get in class, I usually take note of the uncomprehending points, and for ask explanations and examples about them later from the professor. Thereby, I do not interfere right away with the teacher's speech. It is most likely that followed by the lesson or speech the professor offers a question round which will allow us to have the opportunity to express our concerns, besides the class will go on more fluently.
