Grades...and Numbers

I completed my lesson 14 quiz last night. Did just fine, but dropped the "EU" in one word.
Should have been "baked." Ended up as "backed."
Thankfully, my instructors have told me that so long as I catch my own mistakes, it's not really detracted from my score (?). I'm actually curious to see what this really means.

I'm so used to taking community college classes just for fun (Adv. Japanese, American Sign Language, Vietnamese...notice a pattern?), that I've never really had to worry about having good grades. Not that getting good grades has been an issue (I am the obsessive-student type), but this time around, it's a bit more "for real." If the grades were bad enough, surely I would be held back, but how is that determined? And that reminds me, how does this semester's class end? A final exam? I don't recall!

Someone's spidey-senses are tingling with those numbers.

Anyhoo, I've just started number-centric lesson 15 today, and while there appears to be a lot of new material, it doesn't seem particularly hard.
(At least, not as hard as Lesson 12-13 were! Phew-boy! Those are definitely some lessons that I will have to go back to and review often!)
Lesson 15 has me learning how to input numbers, the proper order of keystrokes for three-digit numbers, time & dates, days of the week & months of the year, and plurals of numbers.

Seems like a lot, doesn't it?
Well, I'm feeling mighty confident, so I'm guessing that I'll get through it by EOD Saturday.

Current Lesson - Lesson 15
