Whew, the last two units weren't as long combined as unit 7 by itself. Jeeeeeesuz! So they are all done. In looking at my feedback on my submissions, I miss-read a few directions. That is typical of an ADD person who also has visual scrambling (I forget what the technical name for it is. Anyone?), so I tend to skip over things and not notice nuances. As I worked my way through the units, I intentionally went very slow, read directions several times, slowly, and on occasion, printed out directions. I also went back and forth if something was unclear for me.
I also made sure to have a quiet, organized space in which to work. I just need one or two more things and it'll be perfect. I really like where I have my desk in front of the window. It's going to be cool when it starts snowing.
So I got all 100% on all the quizzes--yay! and 10 points on all my submissions but one (although I think she's cutting me some slack on it and giving me the full 10 pts), because I misread the directions. When the TA contacted me about fixing it, I had no clue what she was talking about. And I told her so--I did not understand what she was talking about. I needed to post a subject from an email header from the school admin. I didn't catch the "admin" part, and just submitted the subject line from the University itself. I missed that small detail. And that's how it is for my brain. It's been like this all my life, and it's not going to change. All I can do to mitigate it is what I said above--go slow, read more than once, print out directions with more than two steps, and review before submitting. It makes me a slow-worker/writer, but that's just how it's got to be.
But it makes me feel stupid sometimes.
