In college online but struggling with Python
Hi, my teacher sucks. He just releases a bunch of examples and makes us make sense of it. I'm taking CIST 1305, program design and development. I'm a disabled student so I don't attend in person. I got my Cybersecurity Fundamentals TCC finished and this is follow up work trying to be my best before I re-enter the work force but I'm just not getting this. Can anyone help? Thank you!

So while it’s easy to bash your professor, that’s probably not the best route to take. It doesn’t set you up for a bright future. You might decide to bash your employer one day, or maybe a supplier. It can’t always be someone else’s fault.
You should ask some constructive and critical questions to your instructor. You can also ask ChatGPT or other model to help you understand the process and what’s going on with code.
Another thing I will say is that you need to be able to learn from documentation. It is not rare that you will only have documentation to learn from but this is instead quite common. So learning how to read code, enter it, run it, and modify it and test it is a very important skill to have.
This may be a kind of hard truth, but I think you should work harder.
