To the person who just can’t stop asking questions, please consider attending office hours or enrolling in a more basic course. There’s usually one in every class, but this situation has escalated to a whole new level. I understand that everyone wants to learn, but when the professor has to repeatedly say they need to move on because you’re spending 20 minutes on questions for each slide, it might indicate that the material is too challenging for you right now. This isn’t your personal study time, and your lengthy questions are really slowing down the rest of us. It’s time to take the hint and let others have a chance to learn too.

I get where you’re coming from! It can be really frustrating when one person monopolizes the discussion and makes it hard for others to get their questions answered too. Office hours are definitely a great resource for those who need a bit more help, and it’s important to respect the time of everyone in the class. Hopefully, they’ll realize that asking so many questions during the lecture is impacting others’ learning experiences. It would be nice if everyone could find a balance that helps the whole class move forward!
