this is actually super helpful, thx
love the way you break things down
didn't expect this to be so good
gotta try these tips for my finals
I am Jel of you, coming out, putting yourself out there transparently. Good job
Hello.After working in for 15 years I am now in the process of formalizing all the knowledge I have acquired over the years. I am interested in how you take notes and manage that side of the learning process. Thanks for sharing 😊
On one hand, I clicked on this video because I´m currently studying medicine physics and have to get used to reading mathematical papers, and on the other I am writing a book for people who are in an apprenticeship to become a technologist in radiology. So I´m searching for ideas to formulate and structure knowledge in order to be easily comprehensible.
Enjoy learning, have a wide range of interests, particularly interested in design and creating more attractive items . . . applied to computer systems, furniture and buildings.
There is another YouiTube channel which has a model for intellectul devlopment – to gain a wider intellectual view and more background knowledge, aiding decisions.
Many people are finding their own route to grow the intellectual capability. Because most of my learning is through videos use local Network Attached Storage (NAS) and have an elaborate folder system which is sufficient at the moment for my second brain. Having a daily target to . . . do . . . activities rather than just learninng changed my life.
Good stuff
but
I'm a little confused on composting. 11:58
As I understand it, you gather information that may not be useful at the moment but may be useful later.
Did I get that right?
After homeschooling my kids for 12 years, I'm convinced we can teach ourselves ANYthing! I start with elementary school level materials and work my way up to post graduate level materials — unless I lose interest or am satisfied by the middle grade level understanding.
