If you are lost or confused ask your teacher all the questions! I teach for a university (and a student getting my masters) and I hate blackboard. If you are lost then ask! I'm encouraging all my teacher friends to use disord this semester bc its sooo much better than blackboard.
My best advise is to get assignments done early. On blackboard especially, all the due dates and times pile up. Getting stuff done early with save you from some of that insanity. Good luck bud! And if you need help, ask!
