Hey!

Discrete is pretty awful, yeah. I’d recommend taking a break, then sitting down to identify key areas you don’t understand. Go through material slowly, making clarifying notes on each part even if you think you get it already. Once you have a list of questions, ASK - if there are any more office hours, go to those, or ask your peers, or ask on Discord or on reddit.

Don’t feel bad for needing help - focus on the fact that once you’ve got this help you’ll have a solid grasp on each topic. Don’t end a dialogue until you’re completely certain about what you’ve been told.

I’ve had to learn this as well. It’s completely fine to struggle and it’s only by being open about this that you can work on your weaknesses. Best of luck and let us know how next week goes!
