As usual, and my frustration and anxiety I get with my College and its professors.
I can no longer use this for my class.
It's not like I did much. We should be on Module 4, and she is keeping me behind on Module 1. And always waits till I just to the assigemnts cause I have to do some sort of school work each week knowing I have to crash do it all again. Maybe I wouldn't be so good at doing the beats, outlines, and writing if they kept me right as I should each week instead of 5 weeeks go by and I crash re do everything in a couple hours.
This was my Beat board.
My teacher responded saying that was not the beats. I did say, beat bord, beet sheet, I had them both.
