Once I see the code written out completely, I can go through line by line and understand why/how it is written and why/how it works. My problem is I don't think I could write this from scratch at all. Does that just come with time/practice? Is understanding just understanding how/why the code is wrote good enough at this point?

Just about anything becomes easier with practice.
One thing I've found with learning here is that as you move forward, you often work with concepts that were introduced in earlier courses. This reinforces the earlier concepts while you learn new ones.
Another thing that may help is trying some additional challenges, such as you might find on Code Wars.

2,298 PointsYeah after I posted my question I thought it was kind of dumb lol. I'm just going through the lesson and the code dave had written and kept thinking that it all made sense, but would have a lot of trouble writing it from scratch myself. However I just did the code challenge and surprised myself how well I did. I'm just starting out so it seems a little overwhelming at first. Code Wars looks awesome, definitely going to check it out, thanks!
