I'm having trouble studying for my exams and I heard about the Feynman Technique. What is it?<|im_end|>

The Feynman Technique is a study method that involves teaching someone else what you've learned to help you understand and remember it better. It's named after physicist Richard Feynman, who popularized it.<|im_end|>

That sounds interesting. How does it work?<|im_end|>

You try to explain the concept in simple terms, as if you're teaching it to someone who doesn't know anything about it. This helps you identify any gaps in your own understanding and retain the information more effectively.<|im_end|>

I see. So it's like teaching someone else to help myself learn.<|im_end|>

Exactly. By teaching others, you're forced to clarify your own thoughts and solidify your own understanding, making it a powerful tool for learning and retention.<|im_end|>
