The Feynman Technique

Richard Feynman was a physicist who received a Nobel prize for his work in quantum electrodynamics. He was notorious for asking others to explain concepts in simple language to test their understanding. #learn

    1. Find a topic you want to learn 2. Study it 3. Take a piece of paper and write down everything you just learned as if you're teaching it to someone else. By doing this, you can find out what you have forgotten and come back to study it again. 4. After you've done everything, write it all in a simpler manner, which means use simpler words.

    One of the best suggestions I ever heard for a college student was, “Don’t worry about the topic. Find out who the best teachers are. Even if you think the topic is boring, a great teacher can make it interesting. Likewise, even if you think a topic is interesting, a lousy teacher can make it as dull as dishwater. Also, keep in mind for your own life the subtitle of Gandh’s Autobiography: “My Experiments in Living.” Be willing to try things. Even if you end up pursuing another career, nothing you ever learn will be wasted. You’ll be intellectually richer and a more interesting person.

    I can understand a subject just fine without explaining to someone. Minimally you should be able to teach yourself by wording out the subject you've learnt with simple daily life language, this is still using Feynmann technique too. For example you have taught yourself what area of a shape means, you talk/think to yourself that "Oh so this area thing means how much things with certain size that you can put in that shape"

There's no meaningful middle class anymore in the eyes of people who should know better. It's either be a Nobel prize winner or be a sarcastic illiterate. No-one treats anyone inbetween as worth a damn anymore. The illiterates already dictate culture and the professors encourage them!

    One of the best ways to master something is to teach others. I really like this method of learning as it not only makes you think about what you’ve learned but also makes you find a way to explain it to someone so that they understand it. And that way you remember what you’ve learned for very long time. I also think that this technique works with everything- music, sports and even drawing. Sometimes you don’t understand how you do certain things but when you try to explain others you analyze what you’re doing and how you’re doing that which can help for developing that skill.

    Teach yourself and fix the holes in your understanding. I find it amazing how some people can successfully use abstractions without having a very solid understanding why the abstractions work. I am extremely resistant to making these kinds of leaps of faith. Maybe that is because I am more focused on understanding a problem than focused on the utility of its solution. In school, the immediate (short-term) utility of a solution to a problem is how it affects your final grade in the class. If I am forced to use formulas and concepts without first understanding how and why they work at a deep level, I find it difficult to have confidence in the answers I calculate. I really struggled a lot with this in Engineering School where the emphasis seemed more on just learning how to use formulas and algorithms, than understanding the how's and why's behind the formulas. For me, understanding is pretty-much a prerequisite to being able to use something. Using a thing before you understood what you were doing in order to memorize the process really goes against my preferred learning style. The 'learn by doing" method is often "memorize by doing". It is too easy to convince yourself that you understand something when it fact you've merely memorized the solution to a very specific problem. If you really want to test someone's understanding of something, throw them a problem that is in a different form from what they have seen before. It is sad that many students will whine and complain that testing for understanding like this is unfair. Not many problems in life are in exactly the same form as you've seen before. If you start applying formulas and processes without understanding, you are at a high risk of ending up with bad answers, bad conclusions, and bad decisions.

    Excellent video! I can certainly attest to the fact that teaching something to someone else deepens your knowledge of the subject by revealing gaps in your knowledge. You also start to notice how difficult or easy it is to explain the subject to a non-expert in clear, simple terms. If it's difficult, you still have learning to do! This video gets it exactly right.

    You have to get "into" the subject matter. You have to make the material meaningful to you and convince your psyche that you want to grasp the entire subject thoroughly, live it, let it consume you for the brief moment in time, and it will remain in your brain until you're 95 years old. Anything less is simply a frivolous waste of time and you will find yourself simply going through the motions of studying. Like the material so much so that you can't wait to get into chapter 2. Before you even begin Step 1, find things to like about the subject.

Many times professors themselves are not able to cover the syllabus in it's expected time and just teach what is important or going to come in exams. But once you are on the other side by using Feynman technique to learn engineering concepts you will have a very strong understanding of the subject you are trying to learn. So he is not actually dumb. Try using Feynman technique(don't just explain it question yourself with silly but valid questions, like a child would ask to test your understanding of the concept at hand) and you will understand for yourself. Any subject learned using Feynman technique will take 2 to 3 times more time than regular but it will be time well spent.

Eventually, a couple years later, I added to it "... In the simplest terms possible" (because I realized the more 'wordy' it was I had to admit the less I actually understood). I'm constantly talking to myself because I'm constantly digesting what I'm learning, regurgitating it, and re-digesting until I get it the best that I can. All while looking for others outside of texts who are versed in the material, those from whom I can gather the greatest info (greatest in magnitude and volume).

    I had this experience in the service (in the 1980s) each trainee was given a topic upon which to instruct (to this day I am an ace at Radar Navigation). There is a corollary to this: when dealing with people doing work for you--auto mechanics, contractors, plumbers, etc...the good (that is, competent and honest) ones will gladly explain what they are doing. Competent people are comfortable talking about their areas of competence--when someone tries to blind you with jargon, walk away: you are dealing with a fraud.
