Question

I just started Course 6.00 Im thinking of going through lectures 1-3 going back doing the reading and then doing the HW is this the proper way to do it or what do you guys suggest?

Answer 1

There is no right approach. However, I would start working on the exercises as soon as possible. That's how you will learn the most.

Answer 2

Welcome. Do the reading before watching the lectures I would say. Here is the calendar to guide you on how to progress on the homeworks:

Answer 3

I would definitely prioritize doing the exercises and playing with the example programs discussed in class. My experience with learning math and programming is that you only learn by doing.
