Integrity is something that is heavily promoted in this class whether that be following the class rules or even the student contract. With this being said it is a privilege to be in the class, so taking the easy way out by using AI or finding some other source to rid of work only takes away from our potential as students. Nothing is learned from someone who cheats, or as a wise man once said, "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." Take learning as being taught how to fish and this course will be nothing short of a blast.

Communication, ironically, is extremely important in this class when it comes to success. It's obvious that no professor will be accurate 100% of the time when it comes to assignment grades and submissions of certain classwork, so it is vital to let Dr. Nick know if one of your grades is mistaken. A key takeaway is that it is important to use your resources to their best ability to do well in this class, whether that comes to emailing about certain questions or even fixing an error on either persons behalf.

After reading I have figured out that my TA is going to be Robert Obiefuna, which is the person meant to help me out in times of confusion. Rather than sending my questions to him via. the Canvas inbox it is much easier to email directly. From this message and others later stated it is clear that it is never a bother to ask for help, which is something I should definitely take advantage of this semester.
