How To Learn

david-in-or-12-15-08Students have lots of problems not the least of which is trying to cram huge amounts of material into a 7 to 10 lb head and have it stick.  What are the real keys to learning and making that knowledge part of you.  These are questions that I have been pondering for many years and I have come up with a couple of ways that work for me.

Here is the small list of things I try:

Immersion

Writing out your ideas or lists to remember

Making note cards to carry around

Taking naps

Reading a lot!

Rereading more.

Ok, so this is the short list from a non expert in the field.  If you want to get the real low down on learning follow the link to an article that just is better than sliced bread for the student.  I highly recommend reading the article Hacking Knowledge.
