Everyone should try and do that. It's a good way to get a sense of your prof's inclinations and testing preferences.

Sometimes all it takes is asking the professor directly (outside the classroom setting) what he or she would consider as a good way to answer a question, and vice versa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
