does anyone here try teaching others as a method of learning?

I would have to agree to a certain extent with the image, generally when you teach people you have to break something down and explain concepts differently if people don't understand.

Plus it makes you do your homework otherwise you look like a chode.

What's MechE?

On the main topic(ish), IMHO i think teaching others is a great reinforcement tool, but you kinda need to know your stuff in the first place and it's not really a way to first get your understanding.

When i do exam review, group discussion and mutual teaching seem best for me, though each person does learn in their own way. In teaching, some people are more concerned with talking (both too much and too little) to get or give much from teaching others

I am studying to become a teacher and it has considerably sped up my learning while also making it more efficient. I often even try to look at new material from the angle of "explaining it to someone else in my mind" - just to check if I got it or not. If not, I pretty much just found out where I am still unclear.

Yes, I try by tutoring probabilities right now

Basically, trying to explain a concept to someone else is a good way of testing whether you actually understand it thoroughly or just went through material in a halfhearted manner.
