      Of course that depends on people: some like to hear from someone else in order to understand and remember and others prefer to read.

      Here are a few ways of remembering things that I have empirically collected so far:

      – Learn something 3 times if you want it to stick in your mind.

      – Reproduce the knowledge on your paper: take note of what you want to learn.

      – Draw examples, with details, of the complicated notions you want to learn. You will associate images to knowledge in this way.

      To remember things on the long term, I did not found any great technique yet.
