@paki I was just asking because I am a Virtual school student and again, i need to finish this study guide to get a good grade because I'm trying to get my GPA up for scholarships but of course the info on the study guide is never in the lessons. they expect you to know everything. And I have a list of people i have to provide a description for and most of them are scattered throughout the lesson, rather than them just giving me a paragraph dedicated to the person. Dx I'm asking for help. PLEASE!
