But it is one thing to remember; and other to Know!!!
Seneca
To remember only is to memorize; Learning by rote;
it is merely an exercise on memorizing other person's material;
Knowing however means, making everything your own!
How do you understand?
So as you learn- make notes - your own notes -question yourself! Clarify!
every jargon and terminology!
and begin to make your own model of understanding and
know the subject better. then you begin to make your own model of understanding!
Richard Feynman used to ask his Ph.Ds to start from scratch
- not to assume anything - even theories that have been proved-
not because of disbelief - but merely to ensure that the student understands well
and catches any assumptions or errors made in previous proof-
How to do this understanding effectively?
learn- Understand - Write -Share;
Become a teacher -by sharing what you know
- you may end up realizing that you have not understood enough!
