I was taught full stalls in power on power off, clean config.,landing config., climbing turns etc. Also spins, spirals, touch and goes, go arounds, full stop landings, low and overs, orbiting overhead and runway changes prior to solo.
Then all solo circuits were followed by full stop landings and reconfigure prior to taking off again. "You learn more doing full stops than touch and goes" said my instructor.
Touch and go/go around practice paid off at a rural aerodome when a coyote ran on the runway just prior to wheels down and another time when a 172 crossed the hold short line, entered the r/w and started his take off roll while I was less than 150 ft on short final.
Be patient, study hard learn quickly and enjoy the confidence while your instructor is in the right seat. He won't be there when the "ship hits the sand" the first time.
