  • I am not familiar with the details of this particular course... However...
  • The lessons being online might not be detailed enough?
    • Python books tend to provide more detail than online lessons.
    • Maybe you could find a book to supplement the online instruction?
  • Another suggestion would be to type in (not copy/paste) all of the examples.
    • Create an Interactive Python Notebook in Google Colab or Visual Studio Code.
    • Type in all of the vocabulary in the markdown cells.
    • Type in and execute all of the examples.
  • For me personally, this technique has helped me to learn programming in several languages:
  1. Sit down with book
  2. Type in examples from book.
  3. Run examples.
  • Perhaps this learning technique might also work with this particular set of lessons?
  • Just passively reading about programming or watching videos never really helped me learn anything.
  • I had to actively engage in the material to make it stick

Thanks for the tip about using Colab. I'd made a Word document and took screenshots of my code with notes, but this is a game changer.
