403 PointsJava Basics: Should I review or redo the whole course?
I just completed the "Java Basics" course line and start objects, but I don't feel as though I 100% remember or completely grasp everything from Basics. Should I go back through the whole course to see if I can complete all of it and review the parts I don't feel confident with or should I just continue forward and piece any bits I feel I don't get along the way?

403 PointsThank you for your insight. As someone who is very much a completionist, I just feel uneasy moving forward without feeling like I get everything to a T, but I know this is also potentially a logical fallacy and very inefficient for learning. I think this reassures me that I'll be fine moving forward and should be able to just clean up along the way. Thanks again!
