4If you're not retaining it then you didn't really learn it - you just memorized it. Practice. There are many good resources these days on learning how to learn.Telastyn– Telastyn2014-08-06 02:54:16 +00:00Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 2:54

@Telastyn But I did understand it, at least well enough for my first time going through the material and being new to the topic. It just seems to have rapidly leaked out of my brain.floopdagoop– floopdagoop2014-08-06 03:18:07 +00:00Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 3:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
