How do you guys tackle massive Udemy/Coursera courses? Do you really watch 100% of it?
Hey everyone, I need some advice on learning strategies. I'm currently working in the IT field.
When following online courses on platforms like Udemy or Coursera, they usually pack in a massive amount of hours. Since everything looks important, I always feel this pressure to complete them 100% from start to finish without skipping a single second. However, I've heard many people say that watching everything isn't necessary or efficient.
The main struggle is that tech updates incredibly fast, so we have to learn quickly. But at the same time, rushing through and just skimming the surface feels useless because you need a solid understanding to actually build things.
I would love to get your perspective:
- What is your most effective approach to learning from these huge courses quickly but properly?
- Do you watch every single video, or do you cherry-pick the sections?
- If you do skip around, how do you ensure you aren't missing core concepts?
Any tips or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
