Active learning
Active learning involves taking your material and applying it in a variety of situations.
You may attempt to answer related questions, work on sample applications, or explore variations by asking yourself ‘what if’ questions. ‘What if’ questions are of the type: ‘What if I doubled this quantity and then ran the experiment?’, ‘What if Napoleon had won the battle of Waterloo?’, ‘What if Picasso had been visually impaired?’. Trying to answer ‘What if?’ questions extends your understanding and helps you to connect new items to other relevant material you have already learned.
