General Discussion

Note Taking/learning

Some of the note taking discussions seems to force you to spend many hours on each video.........The following were mentioned: Anki, practice, spreadsheets, writing, repeating the project or playing with the code. I agree with all that they might work. However, most of us have jobs and I can only dedicate one hour everyday and few hours on the weekend. The question for me what is the most efficient way to learn and take notes. I think Team tree house should spend more time on this topic.

Also I feel the new leaderboard is pushing to go through the classes very fast it made me a bit anxious.

Take your time. Code for $ not points.

I combine Treehouse with W3Schools. It's working well so far.

I know personally for me note taking and writing the code out by hand works. I'll sit and before even touching the computer I'll sketch a layout then start writing possible options (flex, float, grid etc.) and tags I could use. I try to limit and balance watching videos versus writing code. So to probably make it more efficient you may need to block out one day of note taking and another day of straight coding no workshop or track videos. From there you can see how thorough your notes are when you're coding.

As far as learning you may have to refer to your past successful learning experiences and try to remember was it a visual, audio or hands on learning experience? Were you by yourself or did someone physically being there help?

Hope this helps!

May be I should clarify I mentioned too many topics together. let's concentrate on the note taking: In one hour you can : watch; 2 sessions of an average 15 minutes each = 30 minutes note taking should be equal to 10 minutes: what would be the best method ( I prefer a cloud method not onenote or evernote) coding should be 20 minutes workspace my be the best I think or something similar since you do not get many open workspaces.

I would like to make this more efficient........... I believe treehouse was built with similar people to me in mind. Is there better methods I would like to keep everything within one hour ...........Also if we are promoting one hour of coding there should be a way to do it ....otherwise we should tell people it is impossible.

Am gonna open a new discussion title one hour coding to be clearer
