Really new, I just started the lessons. When do we learn C Major? Did I miss it? We learned G, Em and Am then we started the lesson on full, half and quarter notes. On the lesson with quarter notes they want us switching to C Major but we were never taught that.
Also, when we were taught Am they have us using all 6 strings, but then on the quarter note lesson the don't play they top E string.

Just a bit confused.
I'm assuming you are working through the Fundamentals 1 course. If you work through it in order you will find Fundamentals chapter 1 tutorial 2 introduces the simple E minor and G major chords.

Yes, I am working through them in order. In Chapter 2, under Learning Rhythm and then Quarter Notes they want us to switch between Am and C; however, we have not been taught the C chord. From what you said above they don't introduce the C chord until Chapter 5. Are we not suppose to do them in order? Do we need to jump around, and if so in what order? -Thanks

That's a typing error I made. You learn the C major chord in tutorial 5 of chapter 1. Here:
