A relevant HN discussion exploring effective learning strategies was posted ~7 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30321632 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30321632 The universals about learning, which I've taken away from the discussion, is that active learning and recall is generally effective, while passive learning (e.g. re-reading) is less effective. A good research paper that covers this (which I've mentioned in that discussion) is called "Improving Students’ Learning With Effective Learning Techniques: Promising Directions From Cognitive and Educational Psychology" [PDF]: https://pcl.sitehost.iu.edu/rgoldsto/courses/dunloskyimprovinglearning.pdf https://pcl.sitehost.iu.edu/rgoldsto/courses/dunloskyimprovi...
