This is something I found useful doing but not sure if it applies to learning in general, but here goes:
- I regularly read technical texts, some related to math, some related to programming/software engineering
- I ask Chatgpt4 (now Claude Sonnet 3.5) to quiz me on the nuances of topics X, Y, Z
My prompt template looks like so:
"I'd like to test my understanding of {topic}. I'd like you to quiz me one question at a time. Ask nuanced questions. Answers need to be multiple choice that I can pick from. Avoid congratulatory tone in responses. If I pick the right choice for a question, move on to next one without asking. Provide detailed explanations in case I answer something incorrectly."
I've found this surprisingly effective at pointing out gaps in my understanding. Ymmv.
