Collin from Better Explained has an awesome analogy for this : It's the difference between baseline and progressive loading of images (in the browser). Rather than blocking the flow of information until line by line is mastered, take in the whole subject and progressively sharpen the details. That way you actually know what you're looking at early on.
followed you from week 13 on. Crazy, in the past 37 months i havent done crap
This has been truly inspiring. Good luck on this final stretch.
True--and that applies particularly to the classroom setting which is, to a certain extent, forced into a sequential learning pattern.
Great tip. That also sounds like the difference between depth-first and breadth-first searches.
Hey guys, I’m posting new content about learning, working and living better on my main channel. If you enjoyed this video, make sure you check it out: ruclips.net/user/ScottHYoungVid
True. I do the same, and it works. I think of it as analogous to applying agile/iterative process in software engineering
Not very quickly. My rough guideline is that you should still understand everything you're reading, but maybe you don't have the deeper understanding yet which can be fleshed out on further passes. If you read a passage and aren't sure what's going on, then you're going too fast.
Keep it up pal.
do you recommend using Mindmaps to get the overall 'Big Picture' for a course and then use the Feynman technique to understand each topic?
No, one is not forced. If you wanted to, you could learn only from the textbook. To avoid learning the whole book, one may sort out what's relevant by 1) old exams 2) classmates notes 3) pages the teacher say is relevant. Then, when one know what's important, one could go on and learn it in the same way you, Scott, has done in the MIT-challenge. Two questions:
A. Do you agree or disagree with the above?
B. Have you taught "Learn it once", only because of the sequential nature of school?
This seems like a very daunting task. For example, most classes use 250-500 pages in a textbook. This method would require you to skim those pages very quickly, and then go back and study each individual topic in detail. Is that right?
yeah i did mean weeks
Do you actually have a video or source of Richard Feynman himself mentioning the technique you refer to as the 'Feynman Technique'? As I've done a lot of research and he has not mentioned it at all so I'm not quite sure why you refer to it as that.
He did not have that source. This guy loves to cook up his stories by throwing to his viewers lots of famous names.
This approach sounds similar to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQ3R
I can't believe you didn't get an IT job after finishing the challenge! That makes me skeptical as can be about you.
I had some opportunities (a couple start-ups wanted me to join, a guy at Microsoft wanted to set me up with an interview), but I was already working as a writer full-time, so I didn't take them. It is a bit of a drawback of my challenge, since getting a job would have been many people's goals thereafter, and the fact that I didn't do that means it's still an open question now, eight years later. But it just wasn't *my* goal.
@@ScottHYoungVid That's pretty frustrating to hear. 12 months of non-stop studying of completely advanced material to end up not applying it IRL?
Stop that! Stop cooking up theory with ideas you don't really comprehend!!
What about those recitations, seminars, team projects ... those are the invaluable portions in schools. Extreme Speed always means suicidal in study and research, because human's brain can not digest all those speedy inputs, those courses taken in short amount time can only stay in short term memory and fade out in weeks. Real world practice relies on long term memory and comprehensive knowledge. This challenge is another Empire's New Cloth story, viewers should be aware.
To make it easy to understand: even in 12 months you are able to eat total amount of food and do total amount of weight training as pro body builder does in his 4 years, you must not become that body builder, because your human muscle can not grow 4 times faster; even in 12 months you are able to drive days and nights to match a F1 race driver's training mileages in his 4 years, you are still a typical amateur daily commute driver, because your accumulated mileages are not competitive at all.
James Qiu it might not be to big of a challenge to him
guys im not sure, but i think he's not okay with this
