I think it's normal to not know the Ins and Outs of a ... new software.
And that's the point why that class should be an easy one: Drop the idea that PG works like Oracle 101.
Then, read the manual, back to cover. Yes, one will forget most of what's
written there. However, a coarse structure of a new mental model will form.
