If I don't understand something in class I ask from my friend in class and if someone in my family know that lesson I ask them, finally I ask my teacher
When you don't understand something in class, what do you do?
Well, I am not a student anymore, but when I didn't understand something, I used to ask some of my friends if they could explain it to me. I never liked asking the teacher in front of everyone.
Suppose I don't understand something in class. I first ask my classmates, and if I am not satisfied with the answer, I ask the professor.
When I was in class, my teacher explain their topics and when I was late, I saw the cupboard so automatically I can get it without other help with my classmate
It is great to learn English.
Firstly i am going to ask my classmate if i didn't get what i am asking for ii will shift directaly to my teacher.
When I don't understand something in class, I try to ask my teacher. He always helps me understand and explains things clearly. I try to review the material so I don't forget it and can remember it for a long time.
I usually ask my professors when I do not understand clearly something in class. I think clarifying wrong ideas is key to a good learning process.
When I was teacher some students games late and didn't understand the class. Now I'm a university student and I know how the laters disturbing the class. I try don't come late, if possible I always come early.
