I am a student at WGU academy. The school is not bad for what it is considering price and goals. I am going for a bachelors in cybersecurity. I have no background experience in anything I.T. I have only ever been an automotive technician and fire sprinkler installer.

To start at the university, you need to have some prerequisites done at the academy to get accepted. 1 is English composition 101 and the other is Microsoft software development OR Microsoft database administration. I chose software development to learn c#. 

On this class, there are 7 topics to pass. 
Also on this class, you can access a forum where other students post their problems or solutions on the same course. In that forum, I noticed one of the topics were, "I have finished the 4th topic and still feel I don't know how to code alone without the examples." 
With that said, I am on the third topic and am having trouble understanding some of the verbiage and what it means. I have tried Youtube videos and other means. any advice on where to learn better or where can I find better coding practices?

If you guys have any feedback on this school too, let me know. 

second topic is all about object oriented programming. I am only having trouble with keywords like, "This", constructors, delegates and signatures.

What I have tried:

Ihave tried looking up full c# tutorials on youtube, I have tried certain other internet forums, I just dont know what else to do? is coding in c# something you use more and learn more in a field when you get a job, or is there other places I can get very beginner experience coding alone? so fare all they teach is console app on visual studio.

If you don't "understand the verbiage" talk to your tutor. He needs to be aware that you aren't coping so he can rework his course into something that works better.
YouTube will not help you here - most of the "development videos" and "C# tutorial videos" are produced by people who have no idea how to make a video, and little more how to code - they don't explain things well because they have no idea what they are actually doing.

This is normal: you start with a small, controlled environment to learn the basics, and then move to the - much, much more complicated - WinForms, WPOF, or Browser based environment(s) when you are ready. Just like learning to drive a car - you start with the very basics: steering wheel, accelerator, brake and move to actual traffic when you have the basics sorted and well understood. You don't start by jumping into a F1 car and trying for pole position in the next race!

Solution 2

Take a look at .NET Book Zero by Charles Petzold[^], it is an excellent primer, starting from the basics.
