    Feynman Technique

    Uploaded by

    Hitek
    The document summarizes the Feynman Technique, a method for learning anything faster developed by physicist Richard Feynman. It involves (1) choosing a concept to learn, (2) explaining the concept simply as if to a 5-year-old child, and (3) simplifying the concept further if needed until it can be easily explained. Using analogies to relate new concepts to familiar ones can also help with learning and recall. The technique forces the learner to truly understand a concept at a fundamental level rather than just memorizing or skimming information.
