Hello everyone, I am going through fundamental course of ADAPT.I am in week 1 Day 2 which includes list of alteryx items explanation.On listening to lectures I tend to forget as there are many explanations.

 

So I just wanted to ask how you guys are approaching the course,what methods can be taken to make maximum use of it.

Along with it when one should start trying weekly challenges?

But most importantly I just wanted you all to share how you guys are going with the course?

 

Have a great time!!!

Hi @Paul123 !

 

I don't focus so much on remembering every single thing; I focus on remembering WHERE to find those things. The test is open "book", so you will have the option to look around. Here, you can see that if you click on the tools, they give you a brief description. "See Example" gives you an even deeper example.

A common issue some students find is that their progress is not tracked. For this, I added each day in my Google tasks, and I just check them off as I go. I can keep a steady pace by assigning myself to do a set number of lessons each day. 

 

As far as challenges, I say go for it! I started on them by week 3. For now, I'm sticking to the ones with the "Beginner" tag. I like to look at other people's solutions after I complete the challenges. Not everyone completes them the same, so I like to get an idea of how people are thinking and how they're optimizing the process. I say go for the challenges if you can! I personally prefer the hands-on approach!

 

I also like to spend time here helping others in the community as much as I can. Helping others helps me stay sharp and helps me better remember things. 

 

Hope these are some useful tips!
