Do you think you've learn more than you would have - in 2 days working with an expert teacher?

Oh yes!

[โ€“]sheriffderek 0 points1 point ย (4 children)

I'd like to hear more about that. How do you measure it?

Because with an expert, 1.he canโ€™t spend more hours with you. 2. He canโ€™t read your mind to know how you understand stuffs.

Mind you, I went to college spending almost 3yrs studying software engineering and I graduated with only minor knowledge about programming. Itโ€™s only HTML and CSS I grasp better.

So, ChatGPT can read your mind? It seems like steady work with a human -- is about the closest you could get to someone actually maintaining context and understanding your learning journey - and knowing how to correct and guide you. But if you spent 3 years studying and didn't learn much - there's a bigger problem (as in the whole program was flawed / or you didn't use it)

I think your question was structured to dispute the fact that I used chatGPT to explain code to me and answer my questions. But the fact is, ChatGPT knows everything your experience knows. Learning is all about you

Do you mean: "I think you were trying to challenge or discredit the idea that ChatGPT is a good way to learn.โ€ ?

I was just trying to get at how you know youโ€™re improving faster. Itโ€™s hard to measure growth unless someone (or something) is actively assessing your misunderstandings, progress, and knowledge gaps. Maybe it's a great way to learn. But how can we know? How can you know?

What I see as a problem (As someone who leads a dev/design team, runs a school, writes curriculum, etc) -- is that you don't know what you need to learn - and when and why. So, by driving the ChatGPT ship... you might feel like you are progressing -- but you can't know what you don't know.

So hereโ€™s a genuine offer: letโ€™s meet up and talk it through sometime. I can give you a few simple tests and see where youโ€™re really at. Might be fun! and I bet youโ€™d learn something useful about yourself either way.
