>>14053651No. Don't like lectures, but self-teaching methods depends on the type of learner you are. I had always tried to watch lectures in tandem, but never could do it.
Here's what I do for a subject I want to learn:
-compile a list by asking a grad student and/or professor online for book recommendations for a BA/BS
-buy books off the list in sequential order every 1-2 months
-buy a notebook dedicated to my cumming and jizzing
-Cram a book in the subject I'm learning by jizzing all over my notebook. I sumarize things, key details, and add my own proofs if I dont understand. I compile extra things I found on wiki, or some other place, I found interesting related to the topic. And I make sure the book I'm reading is piss yellow by the time I'm done. I highlight, outline, and write notes. I then try to do puzzles/understand the things I study intuitionally, or make it fun for me, and/or I do exercises. I do the puzzles/understand for math- for non-STEM, I skip that entirely.
So basically: buy book; highlight, annotate, outline; do exercises.
And then, you could also try practice tests online from MIT/any good university covering the subject of interest. I also make youtube lectures. I dont post all of them, but they help me as I am trying to teach what I am learning. This helps me understand the subject better as I roleplay- or am- trying to make the subject more digestible for a student/viewer.

Question you didn't ask:
Has this worked?
Yes. I never even listen to my professor's lectures, not since I was 15, and I usually teach myself everything for exams. I'm a math major and have had all As in my taken math courses (Calculus AB-Linear Algebra & Differential Eq), except for Calculus BC because I never turned in HW (I got a B+).
-----------------------------------
But, it varies person to person. So, try what I did, if it doesnt work: idk. Wdym,
" i'm just going through pagues without actually studying"?
