(3) 5 Keys to Get the Most out of the Feynman Technique by Scott Young (5 mins)

1. Selective Use: Employ the Feynman Technique selectively, particularly when struggling to apply key concepts in practice or when faced with confusing elements in the course material, to manage the technique's time-intensive nature effectively.

2. Focus and Detail in Explanations: Craft detailed self-explanations targeted at specific problems or unclear sections to precisely identify and address gaps in understanding, enhancing clarity and depth of knowledge.

3. Integrate Practice and Seek Alternatives: Balance the use of self-explanations with actual problem-solving exercises to ensure a comprehensive understanding, and explore alternative explanations and resources to fill any remaining gaps in comprehension.
