Naturally, you can ask about a specific item or grade issue, but use this time to focus on learning more about the subject. Be polite and respectful, and most of all, <strong>be<\/strong> <strong>curious<\/strong>! Look at it this way: professors are lifelong learners. Their job is to gain knowledge, then share what they know. So talk to them. Most professors encourage one-on-one interaction with interested students.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of the primary academic support resources at Oregon State. Use them! In addition to the services they offer, they can refer you to other campus resources.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/success.oregonstate.edu\/\">Academic Success Center<\/a> in Waldo Hall offers <a href=\"http:\/\/success.oregonstate.edu\/academic-coaching\">academic coaching<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/success.oregonstate.edu\/what-supplemental-instruction\">supplemental instruction<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/success.oregonstate.edu\/what-are-study-tables\">study tables<\/a>and referrals.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/cwl.oregonstate.edu\/\">Writing Center<\/a> can help with all aspects of the writing process \u2014 from brainstorming and organization to questions about grammar and usage.
