Verbal discussion of textbooks, problems and more - skype

[Hixy]

Hello everyone

Note: The thread was posted here due to not having privileges to post in the "learning material" section of the homepage. I hope this is fine.

When self-studying or when lectures isn't enough for learning the given material and being ready for exams, sometimes it can be an uphill battle to get truly comfortable with the material. What seems to help a lot, however, is being able to discuss specific portions of a book or topics of a given subject with other individuals who would also like to learn the same thing.

My proposal is this:
If a couple of people are currently studying the same book or topic, why not arrange for a skype-meeting to discuss the various important parts of a book or whichever you wish to choose?

I'm currently taking courses in
Thermodynamics and statistical physics
Differential geometry
Graph theory
Probability theory
Statistics
...

If anybody else is doing the same and ready to have some meetings to discuss the important points, I'm all in.

What do you think?

Would it be a good idea to organize something like this?Do you have any other ideas for how to better learn a new subject?Thank you very much in advance!
