Well, I know what I would do in each case, but the question is what YOU would do.
How would you ask a classmate for clarification?
How would you ask the teacher for clarification?
What are the differences in your two approaches?
In this scenario, assume the role of a student. You have read assignment details in your
course syllabus, but you are still unsure what to do. Think about how you would approach
your instructor versus how you would approach a classmate to receive more information

I would say to the instructor that I've been having problems with this assignment and would like to know if I could talk to her after class. To see if he or she can explain it to me in a easier way. If it was classmate I would ask them if they understood the assignment and if they didn't mine could they expalin it to me.
