Week 2 : Clear Concepts, Leaped Too Soon!

The concepts presented in the lectures were interesting and enjoyable to learn. I watched the videos and took notes on the timeline. I was unable to do the reading assignments because my textbook has yet to arrive.
Side note: My book order from January the 4th was just cancelled on January the 13th!! So now I get to wait for the book I reordered on the 13th. To make matters even more frustrating, I am unwilling to leave negative feedback because I would not want it to be reciprocated. Am I being foolish?
So, with a decent amount knowledge, I attempted the test with no book to rely on and my basic timeline notes. Surprisingly, I failed miserably! I actually felt pretty confident before taking the quiz. The lecture was entertaining and easy to follow. I had taken a decent amount of notes. But, alas, it was not enough.
Apparently, I wasn't the only student awaiting their textbook delivery. The Professor was kind enough to extend the quiz deadline to 1/24 to accommodate those still unable to complete the reading. If only I had waited!
Final note: I have always had good service with half.com and I will continue to trust sellers on the website, but will be wary to order from members with low feedback numbers and would advise anyone reading this to proceed with caution, as well. And watch out for this guy!
