Going through the MOOC intro course – is it normal for my code to be much worse than the suggested solution? /u/Boring-Zone-6289 Python Education

As I do the MOOC python course, I notice that my code is sometimes longer and clunkier than the model solution even when it technically works. I do take note of this, but I can only learn so much from code that I didn’t come up with myself tbh. Will learning how to write better code just come as I get better? Should I just keep going through the courses as I am or start to learn cleaner code more intentionally? Thanks.
