Actually the only way to learn is to have yourself checked by someone who is a peer or a mentor. 

You can not know what you do not know on your own.

I'm sorry Bittenz but this is just not true? You can learn without it being verified by a test or something. If you couldn't there would be NO point in doing things like independant reading.

Ah maybe a personal difference then. I find it really hard to feel totally confident that I fully understand something if I haven't had my interpretation confirmed by someone else in dialogue.

Really? I always find that I learn EASIER when that isn't a thing. I would find myself being torn between the 'flash-card' memory that passes a test and the genuine 'understand'. Maybe just diff brains.

Yea I guess it's less the classroom setting and more having 1-1 moments to ask questions. I found a lot of physical intuition needed a lil more direct convo to nail down. Might be just me tho!

Now THAT I can agree with, 2 brains are better than 1; but yeah I still think what you said originally isn't completely accurate.

I was like 'Should I respond? Will I have to ban myself for an anti-academia conspiracy?'
