I attempted Udacity’s CS101 class. Got through several units of the program until the learning curve suddenly got very steep for me. Persisted through for another two units, but it wasn’t getting better. I certainly got a lot out of the class, but I don’t think it’s yet within my ability to complete it.
I was also attempting Udacity’s ST101 and PH101 courses. The speed was too slow for me. If I wanted to learn the subjects, an actual book might be better. But I also realized that, for right now, it might be better focus on different subjects. (Such as programming and AI.) I’ll be taking Stats I & II in the Spring, and Physics isn’t required by my major.
So I failed to complete three Udacity courses. But as a positive, it has let me take a page out of Cal Newport’s playbook and simplify so I can focus on what’s important.
Yeah, sometimes I struggle with inactive periods, too. Though through some pretty hard work, they’ve subsided for the past few months. Now I’m focusing on making my working time more productive.
I don’t know much about IFS, but I wish you the best with your phone appointment. Way to take a serious step toward self-improvement. Good job! :)
