Can the HW3 deadline be delayed? I haven't even finished all those lectures, let alone the HW.

Unit 3 has quite a few more concepts to digest, to say nothing of the homework. I've done my best, but I will not be able to complete the assignment on time.

These are central and essential lectures on major topics, and I'm trying to learn it well. Ah, well, if worst comes to worst I'll take the 'finals early' option.

I'm not sure why you were downvoted for asking this question. The length of the unit made it very difficult, I agree. But I hope you stuck with it and are enjoying a lighter load this week!

Unless there are some technical problems that cause a lot of problems with homework submissions, it's unlikely they will extend the deadline. It might be a good idea to get the easier parts of the homework done before today's deadline.

From what I can see, the homework assignments are generally set with a range from simple questions to challenging questions. It should mean even if you are struggling to master everything, you should still be able to get a passing grade by answering what you can.

If your goal is to earnestly learn it well, I wouldn't worry about getting in the homework in at the deadline. I thought the answers regarding this stuff in the recent office hours was really good. It's up to you to care about getting grades but ultimately you get the most out of the course by understanding the material and if you know you do at the end, the grade is not so important.

The problem with some academic settings is that you can't help but really care about the grades because they end up on your transcript which affects your chances at getting into colleges/getting jobs but here, though there are grades, there's really no penalty for a bad one so you can just focus on the learning, using the deadlines to help keep you organized and motivated.

OK, people, you don't center of the word, all tasks are pretty much except the 2 last, if you can't resolve them, nobody cam wait for you. Watching video don't take a lot time, all quiz are very simple and teacher told all that we need, to solve all tasks. Gold Stars homework's are advanced, and if you cannot resolve them at time, 99% of other world cannot wait until you level-up yourself.
