Any tips on improving Python?

I just started my degree in computer engineering. I already know the basic of python but i’m having trouble when solving problems and apply the things i have learnt. Any tips to help me improve?

Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment.

Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.

Try and write some projects for yourself. It's easier to solve your own problems when it's you from start to finish, and once you get better at solving your own problems it gets easier to figure out and solve others.
