543 PointsAre there any projects or times when I'm writing bigger blocks of code?
On the Java course and so far it's watch a 5-10min video, then write 2 or 3 lines of code and then repeat. Does this change at all as I do deeper?

Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsThis largely depends on you. Depending on the course, at the end of it the teacher will give you an assignment to build something with what you have learned, or build something over the period of the whole course. You should build these projects. So if you keep going you will have larger projects to build, and not just code challenges to complete.
Another thing you might want to do is write the code that the teacher is writing in the videos. This isn't necessarily the same for everybody, but I have found that information sticks better if I write it down.

543 PointsYea I do write the code along with the teacher. DOing the Java track atm. I just feel like there is too much hand holding and/or the code challenges should be larger.
