The "Feynman Technique" is a methodology commonly used to understand concepts, remember complex ideas, and test or solidify our own knowledge of a subject.
How to use the Feynman Technique
Pick and learn about a concept, for example: “what is machine learning?”
Define the concept and explain the idea to yourself as if you are the student. If you get stuck during your explanation, stop and review your learning material. Try to explain the concept to yourself again, without using any educational resources.
Work through practical examples. For example, create a table or a chart that classifies the different types of machine learning techniques.
Review your explanation. Simplify complex terminology and break down complicated terms into even simpler explanations. Imagine that you are trying to explain that new concept to a five-year-old who keeps asking “why? why? why?...”
