Anything that can be learned falls broadly into two categories: things you need to understand intellectually, and skills you need to be able to perform. Most things you want to learn involve a mix of the two.
ee the distinction between skills and concepts, you can devise two separate learning strategies for each.
Rule #1: Practice for Skills, Connections for Concepts
Patterns make concepts useful, patternless concepts tend to have a very limited use, so they aren’t studied that much.
But it needs more time to mature in the back of your head while you do other things. Worse, it utterly fails when put under intense stress or time constraints.
Rule #4: Concept Checklists are Useful
Then create a second-order list under each of the larger bullet points with sub-concepts.
Write out (I suggest on a word document, since it allows multiple levels of bullets) all of the major concepts covered in your course.
Heuristics for Learning Better
A concept checklist is a good way to handle those scary, “I don’t understand anything!” moments that many learners face. It allows you to dissolve the frightening implications of total ignorance into a step-by-step guide that can allow you to slowly conquer any subject.
Tactic #1: The 5-Year Old Method
Tactic #2: Metaphors
I recommend brainstorming for metaphors. Start with open-ended questions like:
This idea reminds me of…?
This idea is used in real-life situations, such as…?
What phenomenon mimics this idea?
If I wanted to tell a story about this idea, it would go like…?
Tactic #3: Visceralization
combine smell, feeling and motion into an image, not just a picture.
Tactic #4: Deep Linking
if you know you don’t actually have to deeply learn the material, going deeper into a subject can actually make the original idea easier to understand.
