>>11078182The trick is to ask questions. People learn differently. Some learn by being explained what to do others learn by being explained what not to do. With room for error ofcourse. Most people learn by excitatory reflexes as you get older they get more attuned or tuned out.
One of my professors whom quit his career to teach always said he had a very smart friend whom went crazy from knowing too much. Ultimately you must create vacant spot for learning. Or else you’ll see yourself playing with acetylcholinase in forcing your brain cells. We first learn through vibration, sound, visual. Then we are told where to put these little symbols and maneuver an idea around. However when we go into a tabula rasa state (all you have learned via memory or repitition is forgotten) we realize we are indulging in our egos. There is nothing there but a ball of mass vibrating sensations. Working upto a headache.
The idea is there are no dumb questions. We can all learn from what not to do as most questions usually involve application. It’s presumptuous for a professor to get mad because they wouldn’t be applying the basic fundamentals of learning. Some people need sensationalization its serves its purpose in better memory preservation. But some are just numb from the repetitive cycles unless they keep their life in margin with new discoveries (incl history) applications and even applicative formats (styles). Means they are dedicated to what they do inside and outside the classroom. What I realize looking at Asian math that they don’t treat their numbers as definite but indefinite. Perhaps there is a psychology behind it.
