| * The labelling of physics resources and explanations help you with the "**See one**" part of the mantra. First, you need to see what the topic is all about, in a way that is appropriate for your current level of understanding. | * The labelling of physics resources and explanations help you with the "**See one**" part of the mantra.

| * Then, secondly you need to "**Do one**". In physics this means you need to calculate one or several examples, where you can make use of the tools and concepts that you just read about. For this reason, we also collect example calculations, assignment and exercises. | * Then, secondly you need to "**Do one**".

| - | * Thirdly, and probably most importantly you need to "**Teach one**". A good way to do this in physics is to explain the things that you just learned to an //imaginary// fellow student by writing your explanations down. Explaining a topic is the best way to notice gaps in your understanding. Reading without writing is daydreaming. To help students with this third step, we have started [[http://physicsnotes.org/|Physicsnotes.org]]. Our goal with this website is to help students organize their thoughts by writing them down in a structured way and publish them online. (A personal, public, online notebook). In addition, we publish a list of existing online physics notes, because oftentimes explanations by a fellow student help other students the most. | + | * Thirdly, and probably most importantly you need to "**Teach one**".
