If I could have done this, I probably would have. But no one told me of the possibility. I'm sure many other students were even less aware than I was.
- mercer 10y agoAbsolutely. I think many students, after having gone through the school system for over a decade, have a certain perspective on 'classes', 'homework', 'teachers', and so on that doesn't encourage asking questions or actively participating in class. For many this changes for the better over time, but then I've met plenty of college students (and coworkers) who were still stuck in that mindset. Personally, I was lucky to only have have missed most of primary, middle- and high school (home-schooled), so I didn't have a very established or negative view of what 'studying' was like. But even for me it took about a year to realize that I was paying the teachers (via loan), so I better make sure to make use of them, that teachers are just people and most of them love it when you show initiative and inquisitiveness, and so on.

- imgabe 10y agoYeah, this goes very much against the expectation of other graded assignments, which is to assess your understanding of the material. Consider the same workflow for a test. Would you expect to be able to give it to the professor beforehand so they can let you know which answers are wrong and then you have an opportunity to correct them before it gets graded?
