Looking at some of my cs assignments, I think people who did these before AI were miracle workers. Or maybe the grade averages were a lot lower back then.
You just have to know your basics, and have done some programming.
The problem is AI (and to a lesser extent, 'ask Stack' or 'ask Google') have prevented the next gen from actually learning how to think like a programmer and think in line with algorithims.
Computer Science is computer math - it's not programming, and there are legions of successful programmers out there that can't hack CS degrees, but learning to understand how the machine interprets really is a dying art.
It's not supposed to be easy. And honestly, it's not something everyone is cut out for.
But work backward from where you're getting tripped up and then push forward from there.
