Welcome to the fifth poster in the ‘Dear First Years’ series!

One day, you might walk out of a lecture feeling confused about what you have just learned. Or perhaps, you are doing some tutorial questions and feel stuck. Of course, you should look through your notes first to see if you can get to the right answer, but if you’re still struggling, ASK FOR HELP.

But how? Well, you could post a question on Canvas. Or, you could email the lecturer asking for an appointment. Or, you could ask them in the lecture, when they give you a break.

“But I’m too scared to ask!”

And that is what we will be addressing in today’s poster.

On the bottom right, there is a picture of a teacher teaching a boy who is standing at his desk looking at the whiteboard. The whiteboard has numbers and shapes on it.
