My learning strategy
I am of the opinion that anyone can learn anything if it’s presented to them in a way that works with their learning style. (“The student didn’t fail, the class failed them.”)
So my strategy has usually been to either:
- Find a teacher/tutorial that works for me
- Use engineering to make my own thing that works for me
The OS vids
I think my craziest example of the latter is what I did in my OS class.
My professor posted each lecture as a video recording to the class website, and initially I just watched each one.
But then I started thinking it’d be better if the videos were broken down into smaller topic videos instead of hour-long monoliths.
I ended up making this thing that pretends to chop up the videos.
Huh, maybe I can still deploy this thing here…
