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: ua-cam.com/users/ScottHYoungVid
I remember I watched this guy years ago. I tried to do what he said and it didn't work because I didn't want to learn. I was forcing myself. Now, I am leaning something I love and actually want and am excited to learn about and this fits in so well. If you don't have motivation and the desire to learn, I don't know how well this would work for you
***** The way he recommends to learn: by deeply processing the info. By having as full and complete an understanding of whatever concept as I possibly can acquire.
@Jazmin The phrase "you can learn anything" made me want to use these so called 'hacks' in learning what I'm not excited about. It doesn't work like that. It's works *almost* perfectly on things you care about.
NOTES: Question: "How do you learn when you are learning efficiently, and how can you learn in that way more often?" -Debuggning (hardest thing is figure out WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW): What is it SPECIFICALLY that you don't understand? -Don't randomly go over things. Pinpoint what exactly it is you need to learn. Find the missing pieces. -TECHNIQUES for figuring out what you don't know: The Feynman Technique: Write an explanation of what you're trying to learn as if you were teaching it to someone else. When you can't explain it, it means you don't know it. Then go back to the reference material and learn that thing. Using practice questions also works well. When you know what you don't know, you can start using other techniques to learn that piece of information WELL: -Analogies. -Diagrams. -Visualizations. -If you can't use analogies, diagrams or visual associations, you probably don't understand that piece of information well.
Notes: 1. Use debugging- pinpoint what you don't understand/find out the missing pieces and try to understand it 2. Use Feynman's Technique to figure out what you don't understand- simplify the language and write it down as if you're trying to teach someone the topic 3. If you know something but don't understand it deeply, use metaphors, visual association and analogies (if you can't do this you probably are missing some pieces, so go back to the previous steps and return to step 3 only after you found what's missing)
I really like your way of thinking Scott. I think you are teaching a subject that should be a course in all of our schools so learning is understood better. i like the quote by Bill Gates "Coding teaches you how to think" because learning how to think is a skill just like reading and writing. Thanks for your work, and your writeup on holistic learning is so amazing to me!
thank you so much for this awesome tip! I've been using it for a while and now I am literally (no really, LITERALLY, I've been checking the numbers) spending roughly 1/5 as much time learning math, physics and chemistry as I used to. I'm loving your stuff!
+Nicolae Spataru I was thinking more about the debugging technique he talks about in the video when I wrote that comment, but that is technically a part of the Feynman technique so yeah
I have been searching by my own for a long time about how we could in fact craft a "perfect study method" and i think this advice you gave go on the right track of what i've been researching.
This was really interesting! I recently discovered teaching as a tool for learning too - after explaining concepts to my friends I have a much better understanding of the concepts. Once you understand something fully it's so easy to remember too! I suffer from mild exam anxiety and the worst thing is having rote memorised in that situation. If you panic you can't remember shit lol. If you understand it you can work your way back through the situation, which is great!
wow I have been doing the same thing or similar thing. I have been going through MIT's open courseware computer science classes. Right now I have been going through 6.0046 - algorithm class. I even bought books to go through them properly. I even went through the SICP- structure and implementation of computer programs class from 1986. What an amazing class that was. I just came upon your channel, I wanna know what have you been doing since week one. Thanks for sharing so much information.
Thx for the video.. this is great because I just watched a video about active recall, and I absolutely agree, use the feyman technique explaining on paper as well as say it out loud like your teaching someone else and you will see a BIG increase in results.
@fhunkymonkey - I have two graduate courses coming up in the program, so I'll let you know when I get to them. Also, the passing rate is 50% just as it is for most university programs (my lowest grade thus far has been a 60% and I've scored a few in the 85%+ range).
Ayye I know the feyman technique and I use it and it's a great technique but I want to know ur note taking method. Your flow method man, let me see if I can find it
Do we have to memorize all the facts and details before we proceed to teaching ourselves? Or can we have the materials by our side and refer whenever we miss out something?
so let's say inhave 2 classes one day. i use the feynman technique for calculus 3 for 20-30 minutes on the concepts the professor went through? then jump to let's say electrical circuits the same day?
HELP!!!!!!!!! okay for i have those chemistry physics and math exams okay , and the test is 2h so i need to work a lot so i can do the test in just 2 hours, and again there is some level of questions is hard so you may need to cover a lot of problems to see something "like it" so how i can be able to do the test in 2hours (fast) and answer difficult questions with less study ?

HI yasmeen
Everyone has a desire to learn, only issue is getting started.
@@Adam-cn5ib I guess s/he wasn't being general, the desire to learn *what u love*
@Jazmin The phrase "you can learn anything" made me want to use these so called 'hacks' in learning what I'm not excited about.
It doesn't work like that. It's works *almost* perfectly on things you care about.

-TECHNIQUES for figuring out what you don't know:

+Marcus Rydén ^^^^^^ very accurate, thanks
Thank you kind person.
Thank you.
I'm MIT student and needed this
Thanks
Notes:
1. Use debugging- pinpoint what you don't understand/find out the missing pieces and try to understand it

I love you man. It's all so simple but it really opens up the door to higher levels of understanding

+Fookin Saucy The Feynman technique?

ok thx, by the way,how do you approach learning? do you have any tehnique?
I am currently in week 11 and glad to see a video on the subject.
"The hardest part about learning is figuring out what you don't know." Dude, you rock my world :-)
I have been searching by my own for a long time about how we could in fact craft a "perfect study method" and i think this advice you gave go on the right track of what i've been researching.

Congratulations on finishing 10 classes! Thanks for the video and explanation.

dude - you're the best!

you are an inspiration!!
Thank you Scott. EXCELLENT and GREAT VIDEOS. PLEASE keep it up.!
Good luck with the rest of your courses! Your videos are awesome man
Love this. Thanks Scott.🙏🏻
Immensly appreciate the insights you are giving... (the insights seem "so common sense" likely because they are so subtle) Fantastic content Scott 👍
I wish I watched this video earlier this semester...it makes more sense and saves time. Thank you!

this was very helpful thanks a lot!
Ryan Gosling
LMAO THOUGHT THE SAME
Good info, thanks
Fantastic message Scott! Really love what you talk about. Small note: the audio and video were out of sync.
Very valuable point
Have you ever had a time when it took awhile to find the missing piece in your understanding? If so, how did you find out what it was?
Take it easy, Einstein.
Useful.Thanks.
Min 1:30 Min 6:19
You are a good boy
lol that must have taken him forever to write all those notes in perfect tiny writing on that whiteboard.
thank you ryan gosling
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
WOW I just got my new idol....
thank you
Thanks so much for this video Scott, my hand is scribbling frantically! This tips may have just saved someones exams... A friend's ;)
Inspirational
Awesome
Can you write a simple compiler for simple BASIC programming language, have you learned something about it in your computer science courses.
Thanks alot man!, btw im curious about ur chair and how can i get it ?
Why does this video not have more views?
Ayye I know the feyman technique and I use it and it's a great technique but I want to know ur note taking method. Your flow method man, let me see if I can find it
1:25 more hofften?
Shamir1515 must be a Canadian thing.
A C grade means you didn't get 30% of the material.
Assuming the grades weren't curved... if so, then even less by however much...
Do we have to memorize all the facts and details before we proceed to teaching ourselves? Or can we have the materials by our side and refer whenever we miss out something?
What to do if you don't understand ANYTHING you're learning
Sorry for late reply...
Basically what you do is get help or watch youtube videos
so let's say inhave 2 classes one day. i use the feynman technique for calculus 3 for 20-30 minutes on the concepts the professor went through? then jump to let's say electrical circuits the same day?
your videos bring real hope to us learners, keep the good work🙂
How do you know what your missing??
It's like play a detective game
How can i get into mit .... As i m not that great .... But have a great interest in physics
👏🏽
Do you still get a diploma for doing it this way ?
Old Hq video
Would the Feynmen technique work with A&P?
It works with A levels, which is harder than AP
HELP!!!!!!!!!
okay for i have those chemistry physics and math exams okay , and the test is 2h so i need to work a lot so i can do the test in just 2 hours, and again there is some level of questions is hard so you may need to cover a lot of problems to see something "like it" so how i can be able to do the test in 2hours (fast) and answer difficult questions with less study ?
abouut :)
Do you have a girlfriend? Or a significant other? :) I'm very appreciative of the advice on your blog and UA-cam! Thanks so much!

I agree. and this guy's videos are just a bunch of common sense stuff that he keeps rehashing over and over. every video is the same.
You are very beautiful. And I am not gay :O I am surprised.
Is this mgtow?
I think this is mgtow
Outdated…degree wouldn’t hold up in the real world…
thank you
