YOUR DEVMOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE

Conventional Passive vs. Active Education

OWN YOUR Learning

• Self-learning is how the industry works
• You'll have hands-on projects, videos, and reading
• What you put in is what you get out
• Focus and effort are on you
• Time + Focused Effort = Success
• The sky is the limit, so push yourself

Your DevMountain Experience

• You can expect to truly struggle
• You can expect to feel behind
• You can expect to feel overwhelmed
• You can expect this to be incredibly challenging
• You can expect to spend time working outside of class hours and on weekends, especially during all 3 of the projects

A Bootcamp Experience

Dealing with ADVERSITY

• Don't give up
• Don't blame others
• Don't beat yourself up

Students who work the hardest and stay positive can often surpass their more experienced peers.

Tips for Learning

• Try not to compare yourself to others
• Take notes, or don't: do whatever helps keep you engaged
• Stay organized! Have a system, whatever works for you
• Jot down questions, and bring them up in review
• Focus on just our curriculum
• Come in on weekends, and work together
• Put in more effort than you think you need
• Come in early
• Rewatch the videos
• Redo the projects
• Complete every bit of suggested content
