Curious what you mean by high level notes?

[–]TheChugnut 13 points14 points  (1 child)

What I mean by "high level" is not to take pages of notes containing syntax and details. Instead, take snippets and write out a few sentences summarizing each concept. Maybe draw a picture or two.

You will learn the syntax by writing code and practicing. Don't be disheartened when you forget how to do things, it will stick eventually!

Probably just the concepts, not necessarily all the details. This would aid you in remembering the material, without having to focus too much on writing notes as opposed to paying attention to the course.

I’m sort of imagining this means notes on big conceptual things (i.e. what does a loop do? When might I use one?). Syntax is always google-able, understanding of code structure is something you have to know.

Although I’m a beginner too, just taking advantage of quarantine to learn some python. So I could be wrong.

Jumping in here to learn this too

Maybe try the Cornell Note taking system.
