Lesson 27: Explaining exposes what you skipped.

Preparing to teach something produces better retention than preparing to be tested on it. Here the model plays the confused student, and its only job is to keep asking why.

Why this matters: You now have four weeks of skills. Teaching one of them to someone who will not let a vague answer pass is how you find the parts you learned by rote rather than understood.
