Rising Junior: Questions

I'm currently a rising junior working this summer at a BB (although not IBD). I haven't take any corporate finance classes yet and my job doesn't involve relevant IB modelling/valuation work. So I'm looking to get a better grasp of the fundamentals in order to prepare me for junior-year IBD SA recruitment.

Would it be worth my time to enroll in a modelling course such as Wallstreetprep? Or would I be better off picking up a valuation book by damodaran, McKinsey etc and working through that?

Thanks in advance.

Minus et sit odit. Iste illo facilis aliquam blanditiis dignissimos commodi corporis. Vitae praesentium fugit vero placeat qui dolorum sint. Soluta quasi minima soluta quia molestiae.
