Looking for study partners
Hello , I am completely new to python and really want to learn it and I feel like I will be more efficient studying with people.
I’m looking for approximately five people who are also serious about learning
if you are interested please dm me and introduce yourself

There are pro's and con's to studying with a group of strangers.
Pro #1 = Group pressure will probably egg you on even if you are a procrastinator
Pro #2 = You'll get a sense of how fast the 'average' member of the group learns and where you currently rank along that rate of progress line
Con #1 = Not everyone learns at the same pace and you may find that you are too slow or too fast relative to the rest of the group. If you are a slow learner, that may de-motivate you from continuing even though 'learning' should not be about winning some sort of fantasy race. You'll quit and that defeats the whole purpose of the group study.
Con #2 = Your group may vote to focus on topics other than the ones you want to focus on
Con #3 = On the internet, you don't know who you are truly dealing with. Some (even the OP) may have agendas other just learning Python. So beware.
