Self-study plays an essential role in our student's life, especially for our university life. However, sometimes, a certain problem will take much time to solve if self studying. Under this situation, whether one would choose to seek help for friend who is good at the course or professional tutor, each has its advantages and disadvantages, its benefits and drawbacks. Thus a good argument could be made for both. As for me, I definitely prefer to seek help for kinds of people according to specific situation.
Fist situation is that one of your friends who is good at the course, you could ask for help if he is glad to help you and you are certainly sure that he could give you a perfect answer to your problem. I prefer to use this method to solve my problem usually when I am puzzled with some specific details referred to in class, since it is easy for students who carefully listen to the lecture we had, and they usually have recorded good notes during class, thus, you could not only save much time, but also get a good explanations and notes for your problem.
Another situation is that your problem is about more macro and systematic of your major, you could find your professional tutor to give you solution. Student could not be perfect to know all, they often lack ability to understand and summaries the knowledge they have from a macro and systematic aspect. However, professional tutor tends to have this ability which students usually don't have; they will give you a more professional explanation and accurate solution to your problem. For me, I would choose professional tutor help me, especially for preparing my final exam.
The most common situation is that the problem you face refers to some macro background mixed with specific details, if you want to solve these puzzles completely, you should ask for your professional tutor to get a general understanding of your puzzle and then seek help from your friends who are good at the course depends on your surplus problems that are still your blind spots. In my opinion, this is a very valid method to solve the problem because professional tutor have more accurate knowledge system to give you a formal answer, but their answers usually lack creativity and flexibility. However, it is your friends that may provide you with a more flexible and creative solution for your problem.
In conclusion, the question of whether to choose friend who is good at the course or professional tutor to solve your problems depends on the situation. For complex and systematic problems, professional tutor may have more advantages. However, for specific and simple questions, friends are your best choice. In addition, you could choose both professional tutor and friends to give you help in majority of situations. 作者: igrowing 时间: 2012-8-25 16:23:57
