Learn a concept

You forgot the infographics and paywalled papers on IQ.

I always imagine Twilight Sparkle explaining it to me in my head, desu. Fear the autism.

It would actually be really great if there were a general for each field/concept and people could learn that way, rather than there being handful of vague science threads and 1000 threads for the flavor of the day (e.g. Bill Nye the engineering ba guy)

No actually thats a great method

I just imagine myself teaching it to a kid.

Same

Considering the state of Veeky Forums atm, even if it were basic calc, you would be doing the board, and humanity a favor.

I catch myself doing that when I'm trying to think of how something works.
I'm told that teaching others is the best way of learning something, but I'm autistic so I just teach my imagination.

The best way I ever found to learn and understand a topic was to write a lecture document in LaTeX for it.
A person should, with sufficient prerequisite knowledge, be able to read it with no prior exposure to the subject and be able to learn it themselves.

If you're lucky enough to still be able to apply this techniques to lecture notes and your memory of the class, then you should be able connect the somewhat-related topics in a coherent manner, and figure out a way to organize them--what you will say, how you will explain it, and in what order.

Actual lectures are usually never sufficient, so you may have to pad these fully fleshed out lecture documents with material from outside sources, like Wikipedia.

I got the idea from a combination of two of my professors.
One always posted high quality lecture notes that you could just read and never have to attend class.
The other suggested that the best way to learn a topic is to actually write lecture notes and share them with the entire class--I took it a step further and decided to attempt to write notes at the same level as the former.

Worked out great for me.
