Am I really an effective learner?<\/p>\n
Just so we’re clear and in context, that’s one of my goals. <\/p>\n
I want to learn to remember<\/strong>. And the only way I know how to do that is if I do something with that information. <\/p>\n But what? <\/p>\n I can write about it. That’s #<\/strong>1. I should, as being an active blogger is one of my goals as well. <\/p>\n I should read more than one reference on the subject. That’s #<\/strong>2. Reading mutliple books, articles on the subject makes the knowledge deeper. <\/p>\n And finally, to seal the deal, I should apply the knowledge. That’s #3<\/strong>. If it’s related to programming, my profession, I should write a sample program. Applying knowledge is not always easy, and might actually consume the most time. But without it, I feel, I’m not going to put the knowledge into my long-term memory. And depends on the scope and compexity, I might have to apply it multiple times.<\/p>\n So to answer the question, I am slowly transitioning to being an effective learner. I used to learn a lot by reading. But that’s shallow knowledge and I easily forgot. Now I’m trying to make the learning deeper… learning less, but more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Am I really an effective learner?
