Communicate with Teachers E. Talk to your advisors or teachers you trust if your problems are personal, and if you dare not approach the teachers personally. F. Talk to the teachers or the department chair if you fail to communicate with the teacher G. If the problems concern the whole class, communicate with the teachers or the chair as a group H.
