Tips for Effective Study:
1. Practice Daily: Use coding platforms like Replit, Google Colab, or PythonAnywhere to
practice.
2. Use Resources:
o Python Documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/
o Platforms like W3Schools or GeeksforGeeks.
3. Break Tasks: Study for 45 minutes, then take a 5–10 minute break.
4. Review Weekly: Go over the topics covered in the week to solidify your understanding.
5. Hands-On Practice: For every concept, write at least 3 small programs to understand its
implementation.
