• Fill them by doing more research

• Ignore them

What is the final step in the Feynman Technique?

• Memorizing the concept

• Simplifying the explanation

• Ignoring the concept

• Using complex language

What is the main goal of the Feynman Technique?

• To memorize facts

• To understand and explain concepts

• To ignore gaps in understanding

• To use complex language

What does true knowledge come from according to Feynman?
