I've gradually learned that it is very important, for me at least, to learn with other people. I'm not talking about sitting in a class with them, but instead chatting with another person about a particular topic once or twice a week, independently reading/investigating and then meeting up again to continue the discussion. There is simply too much that can be known about anything for a serial learning style to be complete. Having said that, the 'other' person can be yourself, but separated in time, which necessarily results in more gradual learning. In that case it's important to have good recall for what was known at time point a, b, c in order to measure learning.
