Eric just photoread the textbooks class notes and everything that comes into your hand.
A beginner you can always be - exploring the material with a beginners mind you get to be open to the new experiences. It's a blessing rather than a curse to be a beginner it's like opening a box of new crayons you look for what you can colour with them. Once you've had them for a while...'shrug' it's not new anymore.
Be bold now that you've completed the course start exploring it with your school stuff.
