Say it with me, " I will begin taking handwritten notes before the following weeks begins!" I was putting my notes online and then going back to handwrite them later only I got a little behind. I just finished week 2 and will be catching up to the lessons in week 3 tomorrow and finishing out this week for 3, but way too many late night trying to catch up. 10/10 I dont recommend.

I need some time between taking notes and writing them as it refreshes the info for me but not real sure how long is too short or long of a gap. What do you all do as far as ruminating goes?

i don't know i'm having trouble on some courses and then i'm fine on others. I mean i'm barely on week 3 of this. Somethings i just comprehend no matter the amount of practice i just hope it clicks on of these days. What do yall recommend?

For anyone wondering about beginning this journey through Maestro,

Allow me to encourage, support, and cheer you on ❤️

Do it.

It's going to be the most engaging and tailored college experience you'll ever have. You'll amaze yourself. You will find confidence, humility, and a better understanding of yourself and your abilities.

So take the leap and I'll just be over here cheering you on!

You asked to actually interact with your classmates on the discussion board? You got it.

A few changes went live this week that make the discussion board feel less like a comment wall and more like a place to talk to each other.

Here's what's new:

• Threaded replies: You can now reply directly to other students, not just to the original post. That means real back-and-forth - build on a classmate's idea, ask them to expand on something interesting, jump in when someone's working through the same thing you are.
• Instructor badge: Instructors now show up with a unique badge on their replies, so you can immediately tell when feedback is coming from your instructor versus a classmate.
• "Discussions I joined" indicator: Any thread you've participated in is flagged on the discussions page, so no more scrolling to find the conversations you're actually part of.
• Course tags: Every thread shows which course it belongs to, so you can tell at a glance what's relevant to where you are right now.

Nothing you need to do - it's live for everyone. Jump in, reply to someone, and let us know what works.

I'm an ex-con from Wilson, NC that's striving to build a better life for myself. I've had a very difficult and traumatic past. The streets consumed me and kept me victim and tossed me a into a bottomless pit but I found a way out. As many doors have been shut, Maestro has given me a chance to show my true potential. I am now starting my second term with a 4.0 GPA. All my life I've been judged by my mistakes. Now I see what really matters. Making myself proud and building a better me for myself and those I love. We deserve it.

Really going to try hard and end this with a 3.5 GPA or higher!! A 4.0 would be so awesome!

Hello everyone my name is Brittany and I'll be starting maestro on June 1st. I am wondering what others would say was the easiest things, hardest things and any advice on how to be successful. I am challenged with struggling with Borderline personality disorder, ADHD, and a learning disability. Plus raising a high energy dog and husbands narcolepsy. So any advice on routine, strategies or anything helpful welcome.

Thanks

Anyone have any advice on how difficult this will be? I am almost to that point and I am so nervous......been awhile since I was in school. The AI explaining things has been helping a bunch and has gotten me thru the lessons fine but the final I can only retake 1x and that makes me super nervous. I've never been good at taking tests.

Today I finished lesson 6 of week 1 of CS102, I started lesson 1 yesterday and I am amazed on how quickly I am answering and going through the lessons. Term 1 was pretty rough and I was nervous about term 2. But wow, It is incredible that after the week off I feel more comfortable with what Maestro is teaching me. Don't be afraid to ask 1,000 questions, ask more questions. Maestro isn't afraid to answer them. I am not only learning how to use Python and coding , I am also learning how it works and thinks. That is all thanks to Maestro!
