Ask your instructor about any information you didn’t understand. Sometimes students feel embarrassed to ask their teacher questions, but there’s no reason to feel that way. If you’re confused about a point in the lecture or are struggling to remember any dates, names, or places, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher after class.
Or, send your teacher an inquiring email that night.
- So, try asking something like, “I’m having a hard time remembering the names of the Soviet leaders. Can you remind me who came after Stalin?”
