Quick Tips from Alumni

Don’t fall behind on labs — it’s SO hard to catch up. Do them the same week as the lesson.

S

Sarah

Azure DE Graduate

Join a study group immediately. My group kept me accountable and we all got jobs together.

P

Priya

AI Engineer Graduate

Use ChatGPT/Copilot to explain errors, but type the code yourself. Copy-paste won’t help you learn.
