"I would advise a new student to take notes while watching the videos and follow along and DO the work, too. Then try to apply those skills to a project you have outside of school. The only way to really learn, is by practicing the skills. Also, even if you already know how to do something, there is value to be gained while doing that thing the way you are taught in class. Sometimes, it makes you more efficient, or makes you realize an easier way to do something you have always done. Even after so many years using the software, I continue to learn new things about the tools that I see every day."
