Say you have a hw and you dont know how to do it. Do you go to office hours, or look at the book and keep trying it on your own? Which one do you think is more beneficial?
Personally, I think office hours are almost cheating, but that might be because I want to do unsolved problems. Getting shown everything is no where near as good as discovering.
What are your views?
