Feynman Technique

We here at AssetBytes are fans of Richard Feynman the noted theoretical physicist. Besides being a great scientist, Feynman was a pedagogue who believed that learning should be an active process of “trial and error, discovery, free inquiry”.

His teaching philosophy rejected rote memorization and instead encompassed the belief that if you couldn’t explain something clearly and simply it was because you didn’t understand it well enough. He came up with the following process to learning, which is called the Feynman Technique and is a great process to follow when learning, no matter the subject.
