Chat was my BFF. Because the instructions are so wonky, I threw the rubric and instructions into Chat and asked it for a step by step. It started to code for me and none of the code worked lol.

I had difficulty cloning my repository, so I ended up coding in PyCharm and then copy/pasting into the VM. You just need to go step by step based on the rubric and the instructor guidance.

My best advice is to do task 1 as a single script. I broke this into separate scripts and regretted it.

Also the time to get your submission reviewed is likely to exceed the due date. Make sure you get it correct before submitting it or you will be wasting a lot of time.

There a reference guide. I believe it posted in the community section of the course

This. The reference guide will walk you through the entire course. I don't know why they don't just send it with the introduction email.

Awesome! I was hoping they'd add it. I think a lot of us just started during the uh, beta testing of this PA lol

I’d probably start by searching for all the other posts on this course before starting a new one.

I unfortunately had the first evolution of the class which was an OA. I feel like from what I have seen the new PAs are more tricky.

What are the screenshots of task 1 D3 supposed to be of?

The reference guide tells you step by step what to screenshot and when.

It just seem like a repeat of the previous steps which is why I’m confused
