student asking question

I suppose the phrase "I don't get it" is a little casual. What would be a good alternative in a formal situation?

That's right, "I don't get it" can be considered more casual! A good phrase to use in a formal situation is "I don't understand". Ex: I don't understand what went wrong with our plan. What do you think happened? Ex: I'm sorry Charley, I don't understand. Can you explain it in another way?
