I think that final note you drafted up at the bottom is PERFECT, will give your a mentor a feel for what you struggle with.
The questions about communication time frames - what it's asking is, if you are super busy (in classes, stressed about a project) and your mentor DMs you, you might not be able to give a thoughtful response in the heat of the moment. If you are having a super busy stressful week, typically they'll appreciate if within 6-12 hours you acknowledge you got it but let them know you can't fully respond, but let them know you can fully respond within another XX hours. I think that usually sounds like a reasonable communication expectation but when Turing gets really busy, that one seems to fall by the wayside and impact relationships/trust.
BTW 🤩I was a 7th grade math teacher too!

Yes, AND that string is being assigned the the variable greeting
| greeting = "Hey partner! My name is #{name} - will you be my friend?!" | ||
| # variable defined to combine dynamic variables name and age | ||
| demographics = [name, age] | ||
| # dynamic variable that takes argument passed to it through object instance (not 100% sure bc I don't see a class creation here) |

I'm glad you noted you weren't 100% clear -
The variable special_power holds the value that was passed into the method, up on line 8.

Let's be careful here - build_a_bear is a method but not a class, so these aren't instances, they are just calls to the method. In a sentence, you might say "on line 29, I am calling the build_a_bear method".

Please come back to this and let me know when you've completed it!

SCRATCH THAT, you already did on line 94, my bad.

We don't need the attr_accessor; you'll dig into that more in Mod1

YOU GOT THIS!! I love this reflection.
I think these concepts you've pulled out of:
- Things get complicated and details matter
- Understanding the concept behind the syntax is essential
- Time management is everything
ARE SPOT ON! It is a TON of work and what I've seen so far, and this reflection here, really makes me feel like you are on the right track. You can not let up though. You got this.

@SabaBhamidipati - overall, you are looking good!! I am not checking you off as Turing Ready quite yet, because I want you to go back and finish that method in Section 4 first. Let me know when I should re-check that. |

👍 reach out if you need some support!

Ok I missed the assess_situation method. Let me know how the Burrito class goes, I can re-check once you've had more time to work on it. |

Here is my finished M1 pre-work (except for the very last part of Section 4...sorry!!
