Comment on Dr. Jamie McKinney's post: Perhaps due to their immaturity, in the most of cases, students don´t talk about their problems and when they do it when it is not possible to solve it. For this reason, professors, who are near of the students, and can have contact with them, must be able to encourage them to express their difficulties and help them to find a solution.
