I noticed that all programming assignments or labs are just about running the code or adding few words. Is that the correct way of learning now in the age of ai or should I write the whole notebooks by myself in vs code for example.
Hi, welcome to the community.
Regarding your question, the goal of the programming assignments and labs is to help you understand the code and become comfortable working with it. Even before AI, IDEs have long provided features like code completion and snippets to speed up the coding process.
What’s most important isn’t typing every line from scratch, it’s understanding what the code does, why it’s written that way, and how to modify or apply it to your own use cases. If writing the code yourself helps you learn better, that’s a great exercise, but it’s not the primary objective. Focus on building understanding rather than memorizing or manually typing every line.
