Many students are not aware that interacting with professors outside of class can be a key to academic success. Office hours are helpful if you have questions about course content or homework. They provide an opportunity for you to connect with your professor, and to understand their expectations for the course. They also help you learn about U.S. academic culture. This workshop will provide information about what to expect during office hours, and tips for communicating effectively with your professor. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group role-plays.
