Feynman technique

[[concept]]

The Feynman technique is a strategy for learning a topic well. It is based on the premise that ideas mean nothing if they are not communicated effectively - both to yourself and to others.

There are 4 general steps for learning a topic

  1. Write an explanation as if you're explaining to a child (as simply as possible)
  2. Identify gaps in your knowledge and fill them
  3. Refine and organize your simple explanation into a narrative
  4. Transmit your explanation
