- zerr 10y agoDon't do that. Retention rate is significantly lower during "fast learning", i.e. after some time you forget most of the things you've learned.
- csallen 10y agoWhere's the research on that? I would be tremendously surprised if that result held for learning a variety of interwoven topics that depend on (or are at least related to) each other, e.g. a bunch of CS classes. I'd be similarly surprised if that result held for learning something that you also use regularly as part of your hobby or job (e.g. programming).
- zerr 10y agoWell, what you mention is basically a continuation of learning... That's not what I was talking about.
