Lets see ... I teach Oracle at the University of Washington and I am really trying very hard to give you the best possible advice. Advice I would give to one of my own students were they to post a similar message here.

How about: "If you want to learn anything you need to do the work in SQL*Plus".

There are no short-cuts to education. If you want the education do the heavy lifting. If not ... drop the class.

BTW your instructor may be reading your posting too.
