Your calendar looks GREAT - from the looks of it, you have a pretty realistic understanding of the demands of Turing. I think you're set up well in that regard.

For this, I wouldn't use the term "instance" - I'd save that for when you are creating an object from a Class which is that special type of method.
You can instead say, "call the build_a_bear method" or "invoke the build_a_bear method"!

Everything looks awesome here!

That's 100% ok at this point! You are not a memorization machine; but you're flexing some of these muscles, and when you go deep with these concepts in Mod 1 they won't feel brand new to you.

And building on previous comment - with time and hours and hours of using these things in APPLICATION, you will feel more fluent. You're on the right track.

Beautiful work! Perfect style and syntax, super readable.

You'll want method names to be verbs - so maybe instead of promotion, use promote.
moved_towns is a bit better, but I'd still recommend changing to move_towns.
It sounds super nit picky but you always want your code to feel as easy as possible for others to read, and the way we do it is by following those conventions consistently!

Makes sense and will do moving forward - thanks!

| ..* I have a very loose understanding of when to appropriately use `attr_writer`, `attr_accessor`, and `attr_reader` and would love to see some comprehensive examples. |

Y'all will dig into that in Mod 1!

Hey there @michaeljhicks ! just had a chance to go over your pre-work and you are officially Turing Ready! I added some comments to a few sections for things to think about as you head into Mod 1. Keep up the focus and hard work, I think you're going to be great. |
