Alright, future engineers!
**Active Recall** means actively testing yourself to retrieve information from memory, not just passively re-reading notes.
Ex: Close your textbook & try to explain a concept aloud or write it down.
Pro-Tip: Struggling to recall? That's your exact knowledge gap—focus your next study session there!

Alright, future engineers!
**Active Recall:** Force your brain to retrieve info from memory without notes. Ex: Use flashcards, or self-quiz on a topic. Pro-Tip: It's tougher than rereading, but actively retrieving builds WAY stronger connections for lasting understanding!

Feynman Technique: Simplify a complex topic as if explaining it to a 5-year-old. Ex: Can you explain circuits without jargon? Pro-Tip: If you can't simplify, you don't truly understand it! It exposes your knowledge gaps instantly.

Feynman Technique: Master a concept by explaining it in simple terms, like to a peer *who knows nothing*. Ex: Can you explain PID control to your non-STEM roommate? Pro-Tip: Struggling to simplify it? That's your knowledge gap. Pinpoint it & fill it!
