The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it. A lesson to the Javarashites and Javarashates!
(c) program “Visiting a Fairy Tale”
I've been studying at javarush.ru for a year and a half now. With varied success. Being an ordinary person, at a certain point I became obsessed with the sin of pride and desired to increase the returns from taking the course. My studies were not as successful as I wanted (“This is pride!” (c) I. Christ). It would seem that I have been studying all my life. First 10 years at school. Then one year at the “workers’ faculty” at the university (there were such ones under the Soviet regime for workers and “conscripts” transferred to the reserve). Then five years at the University. M.V. Lomonosov. Then I constantly read specialized literature and sometimes went to specialized seminars. It seemed like who else but me can, knows how and loves to learn? When mastering java, it immediately became clear that anyone, but not me. Opera theater! What a pain, what a pain! Exact sciences - I: 5: 0. The problems that I encountered in self-education were as follows. Firstly, three fundamental and difficult to solve problems: age, humanitarian education and a small amount of time for study. These are the famous three horsemen of “robbery” that prevent you from acquiring programming skills. Secondly, I suddenly realized that I do not have the methodology and skills of self-education. But this layer of problems has already been solved quite quickly and at low cost. In “these Internets of yours” it was found that the methodology and teaching techniques are well outlined in the book “Think Like a Mathematician” by Barbara Oakley (A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) by Barbara Oakley PhD) . I will tell you about it below.
I bought a paper book on Ozone. This was all my financial investment, which is not much at all. Studying from paper books is much more comfortable for me psychologically and technically than using electronic books. You can place a paper book in front of the computer and, while studying it, type code or take notes on the computer. “Think Like a Mathematician” describes well and in an accessible form the methods of studying the exact sciences, the psychological foundations of successful study or, conversely, careless learning and one’s own “stupidity.” I studied, not read, this book. I completed all the tasks given in it. And I took notes on every chapter I read. I learned the techniques described in it and now use them when studying javarush.ru books and lectures. Moreover, I began to apply them immediately as I studied the book itself. Subsequent chapters were studied according to the rules mastered in previous chapters. In particular, I began to master the material in a certain way. I learned to remember what I learned using a special technique of repeating material and using specialized technical means. I have become more successful in combating procrastination. Although I’m still far from victory here. The rule of solving problems for half an hour every day is not carried out regularly by me. I became acquainted with such a magical concept as the “palace of memories”. True, I haven’t seriously used it in practice yet. Actually, the book solved all my problems regarding study methodology and technique. I now know how to study, and javarush.ru effectively provided me with “what to learn.” At the moment, there is only one problem left - the fight against procrastination. But this, as I guess, is an eternal battle and we only dream of peace. So, “Think like a mathematician” by Barbara Oakley (A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) by Barbara Oakley PhD). It seems to me that this book sets out the best current methodology and techniques for studying the exact sciences. Study it and apply what it contains to your teaching. You will not regret!
And I want to end my fairy tale, my little friend, with the magic words: cribble, crabble, that’s it!
