How is this video helpful for self preparers?!

[@mbaguruadaptive]

Hi @puja_228 ... the best approach would be to arrange and use whatever practice material and reference notes/videos you have in a similar manner. Use notes/concepts as pre-class, use videos/lesson equivalents as in-class and then practice material as post-class. And after 7-8 hours of effort on a topic, try and assess your comfort and confidence level, make a note of it, and then move to the next topic.
