I’m seeing multiple people share this on my timeline, so I want to sound a warning: If you’re interested in learning for your career, these ideas are NOT AS USEFUL AS YOU MIGHT THINK. A thread of why and where to look instead.

If you want to learn how to learn, these two charts are where you should start. They are the result of a large meta-analysis of study techniques. You should skip the highlighting, summarizing, and rereading. Instead, practice, quiz & explain. Open paper: journals.sagepub.com/stoken/rbtfl/Z

While I agree w/ the main limitation you're talking about, there's another one - your point works for self-studies where it's hard to do all this stuff. While on the other hand, those techniques are helpful for us, ppl who design courses.

Whether it's a university course about a broadly-described topic or a course about anything web3-related + whether there's a traditional exam or not those techniques will help to strengthen a student's remembering of content and connections between info in their head.

In that case it's our duty to find and expert, collect cards and other stuff to help our students to better understand and remember conceptual and procedural knowledge. And this is pretty much why ppl "hire" courses - to save time and energy on doing stuff like that.
