I have done it.

Susan Lan;
Here is an excellent reference to help you with the expression syntax.
it has 4 pages.
Starting here with page 2

Is it working for you Susan?
Or do you need more clarity of the expressions?
have you linked layers?

Susan,
Can you see hit EE and see the revealed expressions?
Copy the text and transfer it into your own layer properties.
Hit “0” and then when the frames are set look at your own layer motion.How is it looking?

I think Susan has gone on to find her own way to accomplish the same task. And so what if there were multiple expressions. All she needed was the expression as cut and paste text.
Multiple expressions are just multiple cut and paste operations.
Then they get tweaked.
I recommend you try them.

That has been done 3 times. Also numerous tries at opening your folder in other ways to see if an. aep file was included at all.
To help the young student try your “follow” example why do you not just copy the expression and insert it right here in a reply so she can see what it is you are taelling her to do ?I think expressions are perhaps beyond her at this point in her studies which is why I gave her the solutions which are listed above.
You pulled those files from some package and did not think to .zip them with the .aep file to give the entire stack.

The folder you provided has no . aep file included. It also therefore cannot generate the precomps that the layerless ( from what was provided ) compositions are made from.
The “template” compositions do not “twirl down ” to reveal the layers or the expressions as revealed by the key command EE. I could make a small video to demonstrate this, if needed.
If you want Susan to see how to do the “follow” Then you know all she needs is for you to copy the text of the expression so she can drop it into her own layer. And then explain how to tweak it to match the moves at the time markers she defined in the video.
Here is what “follow” looks like as plain text, prehaps the expression could be reconstructed from that.

Yes, please elaborate the steps of putting a clip into the “follow” composition.
Tell us what happens when you select the layer and hit EE

While I admire your ambition this is asking a lot for a “class assignment” video.
Perhaps you would be better off with approximations or just basics.All of what you ask for is doable in more than one way.But perhaps you should take a look through the effects folders and reading the titles find some which you can adapt.
Someone may have time to work out all of the “expressions ” for you but it is still a lot of work. Are you sure you could then have the knowledge to adapt what people told you to do, to your own project?
Potentially there are days of work involved to get specific steps worked out . Often studio producers use canned effects which are then tweaked for these commercial videos.
This is not “an overnight fix” you are asking for. Try your hand at some expression writing. And it is very late in the semester for skills which cah take a long time to hone.

The move at 0:50 could also be done in many ways.
If you have a plug in then go for it.If not then just a keycolor blend or black overwrite. Or whatever aplpha blend you like.
Down and dirty make as many duplicate layers as you need. Stagger them for time in/out as you like.
Edit audio accordingly.Again there are many ways to do it.
Precomping as needed.
1:54- 1:55 looks like a scale effect.
I do not see a “rotate” .
I see a placement of composition elements which are sequentially juxtaposed to suggest more motion that the eye perceives across the transition(s). Study them frame by frame if you want to learn.01:09 Again duplicate layers staggered for time and position
