F．Go it alone．
One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor．So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who'll help you master the material and improve your grade，to boot．But how should you have this conversation with the professor？Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count：．
56．ENo need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor．The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions．Believe it or not，he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well．And besides，he or she has seen many students stupider than you，so nothing you're going to ask will set the record for stupidity．
57．FEven though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner，the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor．You'll get in more questions，the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on，and two-party communication is almost always more productive than committee work．Your friend can wait outside for the discussion．
58．DIf you can't make the official office hours，most professors are willing to make individual appointments to help you out．If you're lucky enough to land such an accommodation，though，be sure you're 100 percent on time．There's nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don't care enough to come on time．And besides，the professor might leave after ten minutes，which would make your trip a total loss．
59．CIf you're meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test，or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading，make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article．The professor doesn't remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work---though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work．And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand，you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you，rather than just talking in a general way about the contents．
60．AOffice hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting．It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as"I didn't understand what you said about[main topic of the course]"or"I couldn't understand any of your lectures last week．"Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters about a specific concept，point，or problem you didn't understand．Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour （which is how long these things usually last），two or three questions are usually the most you'll have time to discuss．
