No. It seems to be going slowly. The last three assignments you've
brought here are rehashes. Surely by now you should have gone into
interfaces and collections.
Your Card class will be more easily used if it implement the
java.lang.Comparable<T> interface

PLEASE work your way through the "Learning the Java Language" trail in
the Java Tutorials. Your instructor is not helping you if he hasn't
insisted upon this.

Not necessarily. java.lang.Iterable<T> interface comes to mind.
As others have pointed out: there are many ways to accomplish
an outcome.

For what? Your Card class? What are its attributes? Take out your paper
and pencil, or even just put on your thinking cap and decide how you
want your Card represented as a String.
<http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F0A0.pdf>
You already have a toString method, but it is probably not what you want.
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/objectclass.html>
Rank[ cardRank ] + Suit[ cardSuit ] would present a fairly ugly
representation, have you tried it?

I'm gaining less respect, especially if the following is verbatim.
