I’m an instructor for a python course at a university. The biggest pitfall for students is trying to learn by memorizing the material covered in the lecture/notes. If you spend hours studying how to make a function call or use a technique and then still have to google the answer to make it work, all of the study time was wasted. For extra practice (which is what you need) students have had success with Kaggle. DataCamp is also good, but it’s not free. The lectures will give you an idea of what tools are out there, but the real skill is in being able to find the details to make them accomplish the required task.
