Cultivate a deep understanding of the material by teaching it to others from "summary" of A Mind For Numbers by Barbara Oakley, PhD

One of the most effective ways to truly understand a subject is to teach it to others. When you explain a concept to someone else, you are forced to break it down into simpler terms that they can understand. This process helps you identify any gaps in your own knowledge and fill them in. Teaching a subject also requires you to organize your thoughts in a logical manner. You have to think about the best way to present the information so that it makes sense to the person you are teaching. This process can help you see connections between different concepts that you may not have noticed before. When you teach a subject, you are also reinforcing your own understanding of it. As you explain the material, you are actively engaging with it and committing it to memory. This repeated exposure helps solidify your grasp of the material and can make it easier to recall later on. Furthermore, teaching a subject can be a form of active learning. Instead of passively consuming information, you are actively engaging with it and processing it in a meaningful way. This can lead to a deeper level of understanding than simply reading or listening to a lecture. In addition, teaching a subject to others can be a rewarding experience. It allows you to share your knowledge with others and help them learn something new. This sense of accomplishment can boost your confidence and motivation, making it easier for you to tackle more challenging material in the future.
