The Feynman technique
This technique is used to be able to explain something to a beginner so that they understand the new concept or topic.
or to help us learn a new topic so we can see our weak areas!
Here are the 4 steps to this technique:
- What’s the concept / topic
- Explain in simple terms:
- Define and use small words
- Give examples or illustrations
- How can people use this practically?
- Identify the shaky areas, where were we having trouble explaining X in its most basic form?
- Review notes and simplify more – ask questions like why? Could I explain this concept to a kid so that they would be able to understand it?
