What is the first step in the Feynman Technique?

• Explaining the concept in your own words

• Selecting a concept

• Identifying gaps in understanding

• Simplifying the explanation

What should you do after selecting a concept in the Feynman Technique?

• Explain it in your own words

• Memorize the concept

• Ignore the concept

• Teach it to an expert

Why is it beneficial to explain a concept to a 10-year-old?

• It makes the concept more difficult

• It forces you to simplify the concept

• It helps in memorizing the concept

• It helps in using complex language
