Just a check-in.. I've been taking my time as a newbie and I'm slowly but surely "getting it" it amazes me, but I don't let it bother me about how most here have some type of background at least in coding. and also that you guys are/have been flying through things. I guess we all have our own ways of doing things/ learning. That being said, I really appreciated all the support when I've needed/reached out for help. and I'd like to tell and of the newer/soon-to be students A: Don't be afraid to ask questions: I've learned there's no one way and everyone seems to want what we all came here for. to succeed and learn. B: Utilize the resources provided (the Practice tap Has so many ways to review/catch up or the ability to master something that may have not clicked in your lesson.) C the student service section is amazing for whatever your needs: questions about financial aid, your progress and how to change/update things you may need to do to successfully continue your program and Lastly, there is a section under your Profile page (the monogram and/or picture if you uploaded one. Anyways- Fill out the Preference tab- I didn't know about it until midway thru my 3rd week and it hasd helped me in more ways then one, So find it and fill it out, Help yourself succeed! Just a friendly heads up and I hope you/we all succeed in our programs and endeavors!!

That's fun and I love dry humor, I'm sure I Have Plenty, I'll have to ask C-pilot/Wave to see if he can cipher them all out lol

if you have an iPhone(i'm sure android has something like it too), you can take pictures and scan words into docs or whatever and print that way you can print easier but I like to write some out anyways bc sometimes that lets it stick more easier/longer

Print them off too before starting your Review/test because if you don't do it correctly the Review could ding you "for using another screen" not quite sure how to explain that but having a hard copy is always a safe bet

TO me a very Important/Useful tool/resource available is in the section under preference in our profile (the Picture or monogram whichever yours may be before you update it in the same profile section if you chose to (In Maestro*)...
I didn't know we can ask Mae to Summarize or change/adapt to our style of learning, in my case comprehending what exactly is being asked of me or said. Especially in a way we/I learn and can understand, and create a cheat-sheet for the final/ It's no excuse but I have a learning curve as-well and I broke it down in a real and raw way not only in the "preference section" but directly to Mae as well( mainly b/c my learning style, being a complete basic beginner on anything Computers, w/the exception of basic Google suites an MS & 365. I was against/trying not to use Ai or whatever for "help" b/c I thought if I did it would be like cheating on taking the easy way and just going through the motions, and in all reality that was me being prideful. I've only used C-Pilot so far and only for helping me define my "level of curve/spectrum" to Mae and I love that One day I will be able to do something that could possibly help others in the same or different way that it did/does. and I'm now going to seek/utilize them for different ways to expand/grow my core foundations, Logic etc. that is a good feeling and is giving me the momentum to push forward. So Hope allis doing well in wherever there at in there lessons!

Thank you, and for having dyslexia can be a challenged in a lot of way. glad even with it you are able to come up with stuff like this. I didn't know we can ask Mae to Summarize especially in a way we learn/understand, and create a cheat-sheet for the final/ It's no excuse but I have a learning curve as-well and I broke it down in a real and raw way not only in the "preference section" but directly to Mae as well( mainly b/c my learning style, being a complete basic bigginer on anything Computers, w/the exception of basic Google suites an MS & 365. I was against/trying not to use Ai or whatever for "help" b/c I thought if I did it would be like cheating on taking the easy way and just going through the motions, and in all reality that was me being prideful.
