What is learning? Week Three

Learning very interesting. I think that learning on a specific topic depends how far the learner wants to accept and question the theory being taught. In college I was a math major and I took some math classes that were with some general ed majors. These people learned the concept but asked the favorite math question "When am I ever going to use this?" I because I knew that I needed to continue on I was looking for understanding and not just repetition. They where getting the info that they needed because they weren't interested but I had to dig a little deeper to understand the theories. I'm glad that I learned a little deeper because I started tutoring at the school and I learned even more. Because I was teaching others I had to explain the problem in more than one way.
