Hey.

1
00:01.900 --> 00:02.490
Well done.

2
00:02.500 --> 00:07.530
Thumbs up for yet another module that you've just gotten out of the way.

3
00:07.930 --> 00:16.270
I want to talk to you a little bit about again how we learn because it's the thing that completely fascinates

4
00:16.270 --> 00:25.850
me how human brains are able to process like the inputs and make the connections in your brain.

5
00:25.900 --> 00:35.770
Now one of the sort of topics of research I've been reading a lot about is this idea of mixing different

6
00:35.920 --> 00:39.160
areas of knowledge.

7
00:39.160 --> 00:47.110
So for example in programming let's say in one of the modules you were learning about conditional statements,

8
00:47.190 --> 00:55.620
if and else, and in another part you were learning about loops, like for loops, while loops.

9
00:55.640 --> 01:04.600
Now if you just learn all of those things in like a capsule, right, where you just learn one thing and

10
01:04.600 --> 01:12.820
you only use that one thing then the connections that you're making your brain are not as strong as

11
01:13.240 --> 01:21.880
if you had been able to mix up these concepts and somehow use them together.

12
01:22.390 --> 01:29.530
So let me give you an example. Let’s say that you've got one module where you learnt a particular topic,

13
01:29.560 --> 01:31.760
another module where you learnt a different topic.

14
01:31.960 --> 01:40.440
If you can come up with a program or some bit of code that mixes two things from those two modules together,

15
01:40.660 --> 01:43.030
even it's not particularly grand,

16
01:43.090 --> 01:46.010
it’s not like some sort of huge piece of software,

17
01:46.060 --> 01:52.180
and use just like a small bit of code, like five or ten lines of code, but it uses two different parts

18
01:52.240 --> 01:54.420
of knowledge from different parts of the course,

19
01:54.640 --> 01:58.930
then you're already starting to solidify your knowledge, right?

20
01:59.860 --> 02:08.140
So see if you can use these ways of mixing up like something that you learned in module 3, something

21
02:08.140 --> 02:16.180
that you learned in module 5, and try to cobble those things together and see if you can use them within

22
02:16.180 --> 02:17.310
the same context.

23
02:17.560 --> 02:20.620
So try that out and let me know how you get on.
