I'm taking a Python course (Pierian Data) on Udemy, and I'm gotten through 103 out of 182 of the lectures. I have learned some things, like what certain things are and how to do simple tasks. Once there is a homework assignment though , or a challenge, I have no idea what I'm doing, so I just watch the solutions and code along. Is there something else I should be doing? Is there a resource that I should be practicing on? Or is there another type of media I should use to learn, like a book?
I just feel like if I'm more than half way through the course, I should be able to do anything at all. The only thing I can do is pretty much just printing something.
What scares me is I have other languages to learn on Udemy as well, and I have heard that Python is the easiest.
I would love if someone could tell me something I could do to retain way more information and practice more.
