625 PointsHow many times do you have to go over courses?
I was wondering this because I feel a bit confused and defeated.
The first course (Java basics) was pretty easy. And I did a lot of work to remember everything. Figuring I had everything down (as I have personal tests I made myself that I went over many times) I thought maybe I can go through this course without this. And so far, I know some, but not all. I can't complete some code challenges and half of the time I don't even know where to start. I'm just feeling a bit defeated and confused and wonder if anyone felt / feels like this.
Edit: I just realized maybe I'm trying to study a bit too much. I'm really excited about this course and getting into the android course (like, extremely excited) and I've been studying on and off all day since about 6 AM. So that's roughly 10 hours with breaks.

1,411 Pointsthink you answered your own question :) that being said, im a career programmer and ive gone through the entire threads and services section on android at least 5 times lol.. you never know it all. when it comes to programming its repetition and forced breaks that make a difference. even in my work (web development) I have to force breaks into my day so I dont hit that wall where you just stop being productive. hang in there and take extended breaks!
