The key for students is to remember that there is no reason to be embarrassed about asking questions. Unfortunately it is much easier said than done and when a student is still unsure about something that has been explained before, there may be some reluctance to admit it or ask for further instructions.

Yep...the adage says...

"There's no such thing as a dumb question."

I had a professor in college say "There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people." I still chuckle every time I hear the first part of that one, about 20 years later.

Every student will go through a time where they just "don't get it." Sometimes they don't even realize it; they've been doing something for a while thinking what they were doing is right, but in actuality it's wrong. But that's another thread.

No teacher will ever be able to teach/explain every single technique and concept to every single student every single time. The best teachers will have a variety of ways to convey their lesson. The best teachers will also be confident enough in themselves to either have an assistant or senior student explain it in a different way, or ask a colleague for pointers.

It can be very difficult to realize and accept that one is not grasping a concept or technique. As difficult to do as that may be, it is the most important step towards further improvement.
