Our Unique Learning Approach: Logic Over Memorization
While the C++ content (syntax, features) is consistent across different resources, our approach is designed specifically to maximize your retention and problem-solving skills.
- Concept First, Code Second: We will first understand the overall concept on the board (the 'what' and 'why'), and then move to the system to write, run, and test the code.
- Focus on Logic, Not Memorization: It is common for new learners to try and memorize code blocks. We will actively work against this habit. We will emphasize logic understanding over memorization. Memorizing code often leads to forgetting later, rendering the effort useless.
- Building Blocks: Every new lecture and program we write will build upon the previous concepts learned. The concepts discussed previously will be included in the new, more advanced programs.
- Short, Sharp Videos: Lectures will be kept short and sharp to ensure you don't become bored while watching and studying.
- Challenge Problems: We will frequently provide challenge problems to encourage you to think critically and apply what you’ve learned.
Analogy: Learning to Drive vs. Memorizing the Route Memorization is like memorizing every turn for a specific route (e.g., home to work). If a road is closed, you are stuck. Logic is learning the rules of the road, how to read a map, and how the engine works. If a road is closed, you can logically determine a new path. We are teaching you the logic of the engine!
