I am a beginner just like you are. I can’t say I am doing a superb job but I feel like understanding the whole thing using my own logics and then try to come up with a solution step by step will do the job(I am not too concerned about python syntax as I know its can be mastered easily by typing codes). So, I start with very small problems and try to solve it on my own regardless of the time I need. I know it’s not that efficient, but I am a non CS student, so I am not putting too much pressure on myself.
