The session

You don’t have to just listen.

You

“Sir, I don’t understand why we used this equation here.”

Sir

“Let’s go back one step. Look at what’s rotating.”

Ask your question. Stop the teacher. Ask them to explain it another way.

Why this works

A teacher who doesn’t fully own a chapter teaches it half-convincingly, and you absorb the hesitation.

Learn it from someone who owns it, and you absorb their certainty instead.
