This was easily one of the worse weeks I’ve had on KA in a long time. 😒 I made it through one lesson (Lesson 2 in Unit 7), but I didn’t even make it through the bonus section of the challenge which I was fairly disappointed about. I’m guessing I studied for 6-8 hours but it was… Read More Week 362 – Short Study Sessions, Slow Progress, and the Challenge of Staying Consistent

I started strong this week on KA but then ended pretty poorly. 👎🏼 At the end of my last post I mentioned that I wanted to try and study for 4 hours each day. I managed it on Tuesday and Wednesday but then it dropped to ~2 hours on Thursday and Friday, and then ~1 hour… Read More Week 361 – Learning to Code with AI: Finding the Balance Between Help and Understanding

It was an interesting week for me on KA. In terms of making it through content on KA, I got less done than any other week so far studying CS, and yet I probably worked harder and learned more this week than any other. 🤔 I’m pretty sad to say that I only made it… Read More Week 360 – Ten Hours, One Coding Challenge, and a New Kind of Learning

I’m pretty happy with how my week went on KA, although it was only as productive as my past few weeks (i.e. not really that productive… 🫤). I essentially only made it through one Lesson, getting through a handful of videos and articles, plus an exercise and a challenge. However, the reason why I’m somewhat pleased… Read More Week 359 – A Little Progress Every Day: Starting to Understand Python

It was another tough week for me on KA. 😔 I only made it through one Lesson in Unit 6 in the Intro to Computer Science – Python course. I did, however, continue making decent progress outside of KA. I worked through a handful of videos from a Python playlist on YouTube from a creator named Dave… Read More Week 358 – One Khan Academy Lesson, but Still Learning Python

Last week (Week 356) was the worst week I had studying Computer Science, yet somehow this week was even worse. 😣 I basically got nothing done on KA only making it through one lesson in total. The silver lining is that I did get some CS work done outside of KA and I did make some progress learning Python and getting… Read More Week 357 – One Lesson, Plenty of Excuses, and a Much-Needed Wake-Up Call

This was the worst week I’ve had working through the Computer Science section of KA so far. 😞 I only made it through a handful of videos and articles, and two challenges, and I didn’t make it through Unit 5. I’m fairly sure I spent at least 5 hours on KA, so it’s not like I wasn’t… Read More Week 356 – A Tough Week on Khan Academy, but CS50 Complete!

I once again didn’t get through as much material on KA this week as I was hoping to, but nonetheless, I did learn a lot and spent quite a bit of time studying. Between KA, the books I’m reading (that include other exercises which I’ve been doing on VS Code), the CS50 videos, and other… Read More Week 355 – 20–30 Hours of Study, Harder Concepts, and Gradual Progress

I didn’t get through nearly as much material on KA this week as I was hoping to, BUT I’d still say that I had quite a productive week and learned a lot. I only made it through 4.5 lessons but likely spent 10–15 hours working on KA in total, not to mention all the other stuff… Read More Week 354 – Slower Progress, More Learning: Finding My Pace with Computer Science

I didn’t have the productive week I was hoping for on KA but all in all, it wasn’t too bad. I got through what felt like a lot of material but, in aggregate, it only ended up being about one unit of work. I finished off Unit 3, Simulating Phenomena with Loops, and got about halfway… Read More Week 353 – Loops Complete, Functions Underway, and Plenty More to Learn
