How can I get this man to focus on the topic at hand and not be so friendly with me?
Dear Lisi: I’m having an issue with my university professor. I don’t understand what he’s trying to say half the time in his class, so I meet with him during his office hours for extra help. During that time, he tells me I’m doing fine in the class and to not be so worried. He asks me about my parents, who he knows from childhood, and wants to chat with me about when they were young. But his time slots are only 30 minutes long and he wastes all that time.
Sometimes you just have to figure out ways of getting help from other sources. And, if possible, avoid this professor’s courses. I’m a dental assistant, working my way through school to become a dentist. I know it’s long hours, hard work, and not for everyone, but the end result of being a dentist has always been my dream.
