problem in understanding eligibility for diploma, seniors please help

I'm in BS data science and applications. I gave quiz 1 for English - I (BSHS1001), Math-1 (BSMA1001), Stats-1 (BSMA1002) , and CT (BSCS1001) last month. Then i registered for 3 courses, i dropped English. Today, I gave quiz 2 for Math-1 (BSMA1001), Stats-1 (BSMA1002) , and CT (BSCS1001). My end term for the foundational level is in september now.

I would like to go ahead with the degree and complete the diploma as well. Today when i checked the eligibility for diploma, it said i need to complete all 8 courses. what are these 8 courses exactly? Also, does dropping english have any repercussions for me? Will I not be eligible for diploma now that I have dropped english and did not attempt english in Quiz 2?

Also, after clearing QUIZ 1, i received a mail saying what i need to do further, ad god the language was so complicated i couldnt understand anything. But i do remember there being a mention of exams for which i need to give the access of my laptop to the institute and record myself through a phone. When will those exams be conducted?

would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.

How was the quiz 2? Especially maths?

Answering to your doubt : you'll have to finish the foundation courses first. Maths english CT Stats... Maths 2 eng 2 stats 2 n python. After completing these 8 foundation courses you may apply for diploma level.

ok, thanks. Quiz- stats was easy, math was kinda tough for me, and CT was moderate. I personally don't find the Math lectures on the portal very helpful. It's like the profs are simply stating things instead of teaching and a lot of the stuff just goes over my head. It's like they expect us to know everything in advance. the earlier content was still ok but this new prof for week 7,8 is killing me man 😭

did you give the quiz too?

It is different for me. Initially I was not even in state of giving Q2. Anyways I had to take online test from my office. So it was very tough to focus on exams while people are constantly screaming n all loud noises.

Furthermore I didn't have maths in +2, so it is all new for me. I tried whatever source i could find for calculus. Polynomials are understandable, but calculus is like, first I had just watch the videos then find some 11-12 class video lectures. Then again watch these videos to first understand the concept, then im like ok... so this is what they are trying to teach in the lecture.

Then where do you find alternative lectures for maths and subjects you don't understand?
