Exercise:
You are talking with Ursa about learning JavaScript over the weekend. What are some helpful tips you could give Ursa if you heard these phrases:
- I just need to read this text book a second time.
- Every time I want to map over an array, I just read this tutorial blog post about it.
- I didn't sleep last night because I was reading about how functions work. I'm tired now and still can't tell you a thing about them. I just can't understand them!
- As long as I have my notes with me, I can do it.
Which modality does Ursa think of themself as? Which other modalities could you recommend?
