The best advice I could give someone for this course is to follow the rubric. Sometimes it looks different than the assignment, but your work is graded based on the rubric.
I was worried about sounding stupid, but my instructor was really good and really meant it when he said we could contact him outside of class. I would say if you're having trouble with any of your assignments to reach out to your instructor or find a tutor.
I wouldn't have survived this class without the live classrooms. I like the recordings because I can listen to them as much as I need to and start and stop as I go. The examples my instructor gave really helped me.
I use the FAQs when I'm confused about assignments in any of my classes. Most of the time, my question has already been asked, and it saves so much time for me. There are so many resources available that I lose track of them.
