I'm just confused by this article. It's basically "Learn a course before you take the course so the course is easy."
Well, yeah, of course.
But this is basically the "draw the rest of the horse" meme.
What about any discussion of how to learn the material in advance, why self-guided learning is better than course-driven learning, or just how to prioritize advanced learning with everything else going on in your life.
Those details are second order. What's important is the "flipped classroom".
Learning isn't done in neat little buckets of time, checking off skills from a punch list. Learning works when it repeats and spirals over years.
This is why hobbiests and apprentices are higher skilled professionals than people with mere educational certifications.
Well, yeah, of course.
