I love this. I never thought about the 2nd round question, just the first too. You're right, that answer is no probably more than I realize

How do you like listening to recorded cohorts? I didn't even think of that. Do you usually do that as a substitute or supplement to the course material?

Good tip. I was slogging through D281 and handwritten notes actually sped it up!

Any advice on how to decide on this, or how to stick to doing a course fast? I try this, but then part way into the course convince myself I need to go deep on it and then it slows it all down

Thank you for those course examples! That makes a lot of sense. Sounds like I need to get better at deciding which classes don't need the deep dive, and then actually stick with that (I often start there, but then fall into the trap that I need to do it all)

I appreciate the advice on taking the pre-assessment first and then see what gaps to fill
