5 | | -The following is the four-step Feynman Technique: |
6 | | - |
7 | | -\begin{itemize} |
8 | | -\item Choose the topic. |
9 | | -\item Explain it as if you are explaining it to someone with no prior knowledge. |
10 | | -\item Find where your explanation breaks down or lacks clarity. |
11 | | -\item Review the material. |
12 | | -\item Rewrite using language that is easily understood with clear examples. |
13 | | -\end{itemize} |

18 | | -\item Take notes. |
19 | | - |
20 | | -\item Question. |
21 | | -\begin{itemize} |
22 | | -\item What are we trying to learn? |
23 | | -\item Why are we trying to learn this material? |
24 | | -\item How will this apply to my overall goal? |
25 | | -\end{itemize} |
26 | | - |
27 | | -\item Extract. |
28 | | -\begin{itemize} |
29 | | -\item Gather information from sources (reading, notes, slideshows, videos, etc.). |
30 | | -\item Pull out information that will help us understand the answers to our questions. |
31 | | -\end{itemize} |
32 | | - |
33 | | -\item Load. |
34 | | -\begin{itemize} |
35 | | -\item Internalize the information and find a way to connect it all together. |
36 | | -\end{itemize} |
37 | | - |
38 | | -\item Transform. |
39 | | -\begin{itemize} |
40 | | -\item Synthesize and re-express the information in your own words. |
41 | | -\item Use the Feynman technique mentioned above to synthesize the information. |
42 | | -\end{itemize} |
43 | | - |
44 | | -\item Teach. |
45 | | -\begin{itemize} |
46 | | -\item Using the Feynman style, try explaining it to a friend and find gaps. |
47 | | -\item Review and refine. |
