How to tell my professor that I don't understand the class and that I want office hours?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

It's been a while (about 2 weeks) since I stopped understanding anything in class and I am afraid to tell the professor about my situation because she may get upset with me (which is obviously a not good idea). I feel the urge to tell her because I hope she will give me some helpful advice (If I use the correct words). If she doesn't help me my chances of passing the course are very low.

So how can I politely tell her that I'm lost in her class and that I would love her to give me office hours?

About her: She gets upset easily and she is busy almost all the time. The way she teaches us is this: she arrives 10 minutes late to the class and when she arrives, she sits on a chair the whole hour and explain us in a very fast way with some slideshows projected on the board.

It is a course with a few other students.
