Hi there, @KarismaBlackwel ...
I'm not sure if you realized this or not, but you have posted your question in the global Canvas Community website. This site is a place where people can post questions about the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System), submit new ideas for enhancements to Canvas, read Canvas Guides (written tutorial and video tutorials), and much more.
It sounds like you might want to reach out to folks at your school who might be able to better assist you with the questions you have.
If you have specific questions about Canvas, we can try and help with those questions. However, if there are specific questions you have about the curriculum in your course, those questions will have to be addressed by your instructor.
Your instructor may also be able to set you in the right direction for the questions you have above.
How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
Good luck, and let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
