DRock, as I'm sitting in my room trying to finish the review project, I realize that I didn't get any of this stuff when we were learning it in the lesson. I think it might have been the way the lesson went, in which you just told us to "Do this, copy that, paste that..." I don't really feel like I got anything out of that. A barely remember any of the things from the lesson. Maybe I just need to try harder to understand what's going on and maybe you are explaining things in enough detail, but I'm just not picking up on it. All I know is that I need to understand what I'm doing and why it needs to be done. That's not to say that I think you need to completely change your teaching methods, I'd just appreciate it if we could get more explanation on things. I'm just mad because it's a little too late in the term to be figuring this good out now, but it's really frustrating. So no, I'm not going to be able to get the project done, and it really stinks.

Even though I had you guys copy and paste code during the lesson I tried to explain what the code was actually doing. Was the lesson not helpful explaining how everything works?

oh hellz naw... I never had a lesson in class where he said. Copy and paste this... OKAY OKAY!!! copy and paste this...

Great job explaining. Even if I can't get an A in the class, or understand everything, I can say my other teachers say "write these notes", or "read this lesson".If I truly wanted to learn that way, i would buy the book for the class and never take that class.

I hope no differences are made in the lessons; they truly help the majority.

there would have to be a level cap then at A+ and what would happen? would you lose levels?

Actually, I'm planning to have some sort of system where you have an avatar you can upgrade at each level. I don't have it totally worked out yet, but it's going to be cool I assure you.

A lot of it is just natural talent, but I also worked hard at developing my awesomeness to become the awesome person I am today.
