I;m not doing too well in the course and this is the finals week. I have the final tomorrow

If I go talk to her, I won't even know what to say.

I was thinking of throwing a question around about the homework and hopefully she may be able to pinpoint which material is important and will be emphasized on the final

She has been in there for 4 hours already... and there's still 1 hour left.

I don't want to go in there and look like an idiot though since I haven't been faring too well in the course

Is this the only time you're ever going to talk to her?
(e.g., have you visited her earlier in the semester/quarter?)

I have visited her twice before

her office is really uncomfortable too
there are two other people in the room with the professor and it's all silent. Everyone can hear what you're saying so I don't know what to ask. I don't even have any questions... I just want to show her I care about my final grade even though I don't know the material and hopefully she'll just give me a B ;)

just go in and ask if she could help you with some of the coursework and ask what's going to be on the test.. she may come right out and tell you what's on it

what's a good question to ask to break the ice without looking like a fool who doesn't have a clue what's going on?

What I really hope to get out of doing is this two things

A. Show her that I'm worried about my grade thus she may be more lenient and pass me with a B.
B. I don't have enough time to study all the material.. even though I tried (my brain isn't big enough to absorb all the complex formulas and what does what to what, etc.)
I would like to know if I just master the past homework assignments, how will I do on the final?

Finals crunch time :)


Just go to your professor and ask what you had planned. So what if you look like an idiot? Chances are, you won't see her again after the finals.... right?

She has office hours at 3am???

Is that just a ruse so she can sleep with her students?

edit: Lifer still hasn't learned to read the whole thread!! :eek:
