Professors and Teacher Assistants(TAs) both have office hours, Generally you should go to the TA’s first, then the Professors. You should use office hours for the following reasons:
1. It will make you do your homework faster.
2. If you don’t understand a concept, they can explain it faster and better than google can(saving you time).
3. They have an idea of what the exams are like and can tell you where to focus your energy.
4. In some cases, they can give you previous exams/extra worksheets (This can be helpful if the professor give little homework and you want more material to study with).
5. They don’t get that many people during office hours and so there is a good chance you will get a free one on one tutoring session. Although this is dependent on the class and an how close you are to an exam or project deadline(days before exams can have lines out door if your unlucky).
6. You can make more connections with the people in your class as well as upperclassmen.
7. Seeking out help with the resources provided for you will allow you to practice being resourceful, which is an essential skill in the “real world”
In general, they will not tell you how to do your work so instead identify what you don’t understand and ask them about that, then apply that to the problem your having. Like jeopardy answer in the form of a question.
> 5. They don’t get that many people during office hours and so there is a good chance you will get a free one on one tutoring session.
It depends on the class and when you show up. If you need help with a large class, like one in Knox 20 or one of the other large lecture halls, you might have to wait in line. Same, if you show up just before a project is due or before an exam.
If you are having trouble, going to the TA and/or professors’ office hours to ask questions can help you (But please ask the TAs first, especially if you are in a large class).
