Discussion has been proved to be the most effective method of learning, and I can't imagine why anyone would prefer dictation, or any other type of learning for that matter, over discussion.

And you still haven't answered my question: why are you still at school? I can see it being one of two possibilities, but just give me a little hint - that should be enough...

discussion definitely helps me understand and remember, and notes are good for revision later on :)

Fuck discussion. Using textbooks/study guides to obtain a greater understanding that's not obtainable in the normal classroom is much better. Or at least in Maths. I suppose that would be categorised under 'rote', even though rote learning implies that all you do is memorise facts without any need of understanding..

Lolwtf @ dictation

Textbooks are only preferable if you have an incapable teacher. Otherwise, discussion with someone who knows what they're teaching is by far preferable, as they can offer different explanations, answer most questions, and can discuss certain aspects of a topic in more depth if necessary.


And no, you are not allowed to disagree with me.

I disagree with your statement of me not being allowed to disagree with you.

Okay so all my teachers are pretty shitty, so I just use a few textbooks per subject to teach myself (and I do Physics tutoring, which is also kinda shitty). If I don't get anything, I'll ask friends or come on BoS. That's what this site was made for, right? To spread around our knowledge?

So basically you have shitty teachers and therefore have top learn from textbooks? That's what I was saying. That's pretty much my situation too BTW

Engaging discussions during class time is quite beneficial, though its got to be coupled with self learning stuff from textbooks to refine or fine tune certain areas + also doing past papers or other related questions to put the stuff learnt into practice :)

- self study with textbooks and guides.
