There are many ways of looking at this scenario. If having trouble understanding an assignment and I was going to approach my instructor I would still want to keep a very positive and informal tone. I would explain to the instructor and show the points of assignment I was understanding. By being very formal also asking questions as to how the instructor could better help me understand the key factors in the assignment. As I approach and ask my instructor I would also keep what I call a very positive attitude not putting the instructor down in any aspect. More so of asking specific questions for help I guess you could say.
In a class atmosphere or approaching my classmates you don’t have to be so formal or keep that all positive tone I was speaking of early. I would ask what they got out of the assignment kind of look at it from there point of view and see if I understand or see it the way the are. If I did than I would think them for clearing up the muddy subject. If not then you might question there opinion or discuss it more into detail. Probably be a little more opinionated than anything when discussing with classmates.
