Help Me Improve And Get Better!

Hope everyone out there is staying safe. This semester, I have been enrolled in an Intro CPP class. Needless to say I didn't get my pick of the litter when it comes to profs because

A.) The pandemic
B.) It's summer and most profs are on holidays.

With that being said, the prof I have now is pretty bad at his job. There were things that were on the test that had nothing to do with what he taught during the first half of the semester. Luckily, I was able to figure somethings out and did a patch job for things I didn't really know how to figure out yet. I am definitely more of a hands on approach learner than I am by reading it.

So, what should I do to keep myself motivated and to keep learning? Are there any websites that you would recommend? I had a classmate who finished the test easily. He's probably the smartest in the class..but with what was taught, I asked him for tips. I mean, I figured you're only going to get better, right?

Sorry for the late reply. I'm currently learning CPP. Currently going to be learning vectors next. I passed my test, but even the professor couldn't write the code during a live demo. It was completely frustrating.
