Project weeks - community bonding time. Help each other out - a chance to simulate the real world and see where you need improvement - this is where you'll get a lot of practice with researching and debugging - hand-holding during this time leads to less independence in the real world

  1. Bringing up your mistakes during class often illuminates good points to talk about

    • it's very difficult as an instructor to come up with scenarios where a student will make a mistake, since everyone makes different kinds of mistakes

  2. Practice learning on your own

    • This will be your life when you start work

      • the chances that you'll be using the exact tech we teach you is slim even though we pick popular tech to teach
      • the concepts that we teach will be the same for your entire life
      • tech changes, concepts don't
    • We teach you to teach yourself and provide hints along the way
    • Most of development is coming across something you've never seen and figuring it out on your own
    • Don't worry about what is the most optimal thing to study. As long as you're focused, whatever you study will be great
