I usually ask the teacher for help
When I didn’t understand something in class I made a note about it and asked my classmates or friends to explain it after classes. But if they didn’t get it too I was looking for an answer to my question on the Internet. But before I graduated, I had never looked for answers on YouTube. I thought that it was an entertainment platform. Recently I found out that it’s is possible to find a lot of useful information on YouTube. I wish I'd realized that sooner.
i ask my friends to help me out if they understand also i try to search more details in YouTube
During the pandemic, we learn in online classes. I love it because when I have any distractions or don't understand the lecture, I replay the recording or ask the question to the lecturer,
Hello,
When I don't understand something during the class I automatically start asking questions about it because it's my right to make all thing clear to me. And I ask my friends and sometimes when I came back home I try to look for it on Youtube and others platforms.

If it's possible to ask questions in class I do, when I don't understand something. If t's not I will try to learn material by myself after that.
If I don't understand something in the class. I will search for it in the book but if also I don't get it. I will tell the teacher to repeat it. sometimes the teacher's explanation isn't enough to convince me, so I research it myself.
I usually rely on my personal study after returning home. When I do not understand I try to see that on Youtube or ask my friends.
i highlight the part that i didnt understand with red color to ask my friends about it. if we all didnt got it , we probably search about it in Youtube.
When I don't understand something in class, what I do is to ask questions to my classmates or my seatmates after the class so I can catch up and study the lesson at home.
