I don’t learn by seeing it once either, I always watch it twice like Martin says. Once like a movie, just watching the teacher do all the stuff, and then I repeat and go hands on, trying to follow along with Blender opened. And then after a couple of months I watch it again for a third time because I realized it solidifies the knowledge, since my brain now pays attention to the things I had missed.
You have to try things out for yourself and make the mistakes. And then push yourself to get out of the situation you’re in. It’s how you exercise the brain and the learning starts to happen. Also we have learned that there’s a thing as helping out too much, to the point where it becomes detrimental to the learning and it hurts the person. If we just start handing out answers, then people do not challenge themselves and we’re doing them a disservice. So there is a balance to be struck. It’s like we’re buff strong guys at the gym and we’re lifting the weights of other people for them, they are not going to gain the muscle mass. We are support for tough situations, like firefighters, we come when there’s an emergency, a big fire, but if people start calling us every time you light a simple match, you’re doing it wrong. Enough analogies though Lol.
