Office Hours
Office hours are scheduled opportunities to ask an instructor or TA specific questions, develop ideas, and interpret feedback.
Office hours 是与教师或 TA 进行具体学术问答、发展想法和理解反馈的固定时间。
A Useful Question Pattern
- Give the relevant context.
- Explain what you currently understand or attempted.
- Identify the exact point of uncertainty.
- Ask what reasoning, resource, or next step would help.
Office hours are not reserved for crises or students who are already confident. Preparing a specific question lets the instructor diagnose the gap instead of guessing what “I do not understand” means.
