    In the industry, we call "The Feynman Technique" when you're alone "Rubber Ducky Programming/Debugging". You tell your rubber ducky (or action figure, plant, etc.) either what you learned, what you're stuck on, or talk through your program to figure out where you screwed up. It's very helpful, even if you don't write it all down.

    Thanks for this! I'm starting computer science at uni in 2 weeks, and I'm really nervous because I've never studied it before. These videos make me feel a lot more well-prepared!

    I just discovered your channel yesterday. Comp Sci major too. You are very articulate about your thoughts on the topic. I've watched several productivity videos but this is the first Comp Sci note-taking video I found interesting. You're awesome. Thumbs up.

    1. always take notes if you are focusing and write it down.
    2. writting brings clarity
    3. make your own examples
    4. have diagram flow charts in notes
    5. note down new and unique eg. and aspects during lecture

    This channel proves that almost nobody seeks to improve knowledge through the internet. Just look at the number of subscribers. The creators of meaningless content have more than 1 million subscribers. Well, I'm happy to be here =) thanks for the tips, the video was very well edited.

    Kudos for making the distinction that "The Feynman Technique" was named after Feynman, rather than created by him. It was actually created by blogger/author Scott Young about a decade ago, who was interested in the various "techniques" Feynman would use for thinking and learning, and tried to capture them in a single Technique. It's surprising how often this is attributed to Feynman himself, especially given that he had so many techniques. Incidentally, it was quite characteristic of Feynman to say, "Use whichever method works!" rather than to promote some particular way of doing something, though he did like to share some of his ways of thinking about things and say, "Maybe this works for some of you too, if you happen to think in the same way I do." I happened to be a regular reader of Scott's blog at the time, which is why I remember this, and like him, I was very interested in Feynman and his particular way of thinking about things. Such a fascinating character.

      I completely agree- I'm not bullish on any technique, but the Feynman technique has been great for me

    Thank you so much for making this video. I am currently preparing for my scientist exam in CS domain for BARC and ISRO (I am an Indian) . Both are hard nuts to crack and down the line, both these exams require in-depth clarity and immense knowledge. My BARC scientist exam is in 1 month approx but I was in great dilemma about whether I learnt the concepts or trying to mug up what I am taught word to word. If I end up doing mug-ups then certainly I will fail in both the exams. I was badly looking for someone actually showing how to take notes in CS major that enhance understanding and not copying textbook or professor's words. I found you, fortunately. Man, I have got envy seeing your array notes.. Your notes telling the level of your understanding... Thanks a lot for giving directions..

    There is a mistake you have written the way with name "Table of Value" wrong:
    it is: arrayName = new type{} {val0, val1, ...., valn};
    it should be: arrayName = new type[] {val0, val1, ...., valn};
    you have used {} instead of []

    I like how this is specified for comsci classes (an ece and comcsi undergrad here) just subriscred ! You are very analytical , and it's nice to hear some ideas from other students !! Could you may provide some extra examples of your notes in your blog ? I would like to study how you make them because I really don't know how to study compsci theory and right now I chose to major in computer science (in order to follow tcs ) and I am really stressed about my new classes

If i dont try something new like this then im gonna be stuck on the same study method ive been using all my life which kinda sucks now cuz im in college, or i use this and actually see for myself. Lets see. Wish me luck lol.

    I currently only can afford either a Laptop (wanted to use it for coding) or a surface Go 2 (wanted to mainly use it for note taking, but also like about it that it also can function as a Laptop). I am starting to study computer science in less than a month. What do you think? Which device is more important? Which device would you purchase first? I want to purchase both anyways but can only get one device this month.
