Office hours
Significado: Scheduled times when a professor is available in their office to meet with students.
Office hours are the most underutilized resource in American higher education. Professors set aside hours each week for students to drop in and ask questions, discuss assignments, or get help. 'Go to office hours' is the number one advice from successful students, yet most students never go. Those who do often build relationships that lead to recommendations, research opportunities, and better grades. 'I went to office hours and the professor basically told me what was on the exam' is the dream scenario.
