Such assumptions should be listed in the prerequisites for the course, but sometimes they aren't. If you can pin down what exactly you don't understand (in homework, lecture, etc.), you could ask the teacher for suggested reading to fill in what you need to know. | |

You should try to reflect on what you find hard about the problems - really - try to write down what you find hard about it, and then ask yourself why you think that you’re struggling. Self reflection is an indispensable tool. Furthermore, ask your peers how they are thinking about the problems, maybe you just need to retool how you think about a particular component of the problem. | |
