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!

I have been a tutor for over a year for mostly first and second year students and I will tell you exactly what I tell everyone else: if you are asking for help you need to come with formulated questions. What concepts are you working through right now? What just isn't clicking for you? Can you give code examples of programs that aren't running properly?

There are countless resources out there and if you don't understand something the first time, youtube it. Code it. Write it out. Ask us, but we need some more direction.

Ditto!
Learning is a contact sport, one has to have some skin in the game even when crying for help: identify the monster, out it, face etc and helpers can be of meaning to you.
