The Challenge of Memorization

Often, we find ourselves in front of our classes, trying to absorb as much information as possible. However, constantly checking your notes for the slightest doubt hinders deeper memorization.

Origin and Simplicity of the White Sheet Method 🌟

Feynman, as a professor, gained popularity by making complex theories accessible with simple, student-friendly language. His method is based on the evaluation of existing knowledge, the necessary deepening and the clear expression of ideas in one's own words.

Practical application 📝

  1. Choosing a Topic: Select a specific topic to assess.
  2. Knowledge assessment: Write down on a blank sheet of paper what you already know, using simple terms.
  3. Identifying gaps: Identify parts that are difficult to explain and clarify them.
  4. Constant reassessment: Repeat the process to measure your progress.

Advantages of the white sheet technique🚀

Simplicity and Accessibility: Simplify complex concepts with understandable language.

Self-assessment: Assess your understanding by writing your explanations on a blank sheet of paper.

Clarification of Concepts: Identify and clarify terms or concepts that are difficult to explain.
