In the online classroom, students need more self-learning and self-management ability. Especially in some difficult courses, students may encounter difficulties and challenges. Some foreign students said that they had encountered many problems they didn't understand in the online class, but they didn't know whether to ask the teacher for help.
I think it is very necessary to ask the teacher for help on this issue. First of all, the teacher is the guide and mentor of students' learning. They have rich teaching experience and professional knowledge, and can help students solve problems in their studies. Teachers should be important supporters and helpers of students' learning, whether in traditional classroom or online course, and students should make full use of teachers' resources and skills to solve their own learning problems.
Secondly, asking teachers for help is also a way to show students' serious learning attitude. By asking questions and asking for help from teachers, students can show their attention to learning and their desire for knowledge, which is particularly important for international students. When studying abroad, sometimes students may feel lonely and confused, but as long as they bravely ask the teacher for help, they can find a solution to the problem. This attitude will also be recognized and appreciated by teachers, which is conducive to establishing a good relationship between teachers and students.
In addition, by asking teachers for help, students can get correct guidance and suggestions in time to avoid detours and waste time. Some students may encounter some misunderstanding or confusion in their study. If they ask the teacher for help in time, they can avoid falling into misunderstanding, waste time and improve their learning efficiency. Moreover, teachers will give personalized guidance and suggestions according to students' learning situation and needs to help students digest and absorb knowledge better.
Of course, asking teachers for help also requires certain skills and methods. Students should be as clear and specific as possible when asking questions, and describe their own problems and puzzles, so that teachers can better understand the students' situation and give correct help. At the same time, students should also respect the teacher's time and expertise, don't disturb the teacher at will, and choose the right time and way to ask the teacher for help.
Generally speaking, it is a brand-new challenge and opportunity for many international students to change the course of studying abroad in the United States into an online course. In the face of learning difficulties and problems, students should actively ask their teachers for help, and don't hesitate. Through communication with teachers, students can get better learning experience and growth, and lay a good foundation for their study abroad. I hope all international students can overcome the difficulties of online courses, get better academic results and lay a solid foundation for their future.
