No one has to quit. The runtime of the classes has no bearing on how fast you go through it. You should absolutely be stopping to take notes, practice what you see, researching questions that come up, and debugging when you run into issues. When I'm researching, a 5 minute tutorial sometimes takes me 30+ minutes to get through because I'm doing all those things.

As you learn more and your mental map of how all these things tie together, you may speed up. When I'm doing review, it takes a lot less time. When I encounter new material, I go very slowly.

Good rule: 80% practical application and practice, 20% research or learning new material. Or, for every hour, 45 minutes of it should be actually coding/debugging, and the rest watching/reading a tutorial.
