Very interesting, thanks!
How did you happen on this way of learning? It seems like one would need quite a bit of self-control and faith in this method to use it. Did you evolve it, did someone teach you, did you read it somewhere?
- 3pt14159 17y agoI was graduating the year Ontario was getting rid of OAC (grade 13) so there were twice as many graduates coming out of the high schools, even though the near by universities were only accepting 30% more applicants. Unfortunately (or fortunately, in retrospect) for me I was in the Grade 12 stream. I took a detailed look at all the courses being offered and decided that I just wouldn't look at enough material in the grade 12 version of statistics, so I petitioned the school to allow me to take the grade 13 one. Of course there was a conflict with some other grade 12 course, so I was forced to learn it all from correspondence books. The books moved very quickly, and I found myself lost half the time until I finally told myself to stop skimming through the readings. I ended up applying to university with a 95 or something in the class. In university I had forgotten that lesson until I was in the same mental space: lost and not knowing why I kept getting stuck. Then it dawned on me that I needed to actually read what in front of me and my method stemmed out of there. I think it helps that I'm one of those crazy visual thinkers, but most people can do it.
