Self study.

Some people learn best in a teacher-guided, formal learning situation, while others prefer a self-directed, informal or independent study approach. One may also decide to combine formal and informal options.

If you have decided to get some knowledge in a self study process it is good to follow a certain structure:

1. Set the goals of your study. What do you want to achieve in the end? What are your targets?

2. Make a plan of your study. For how long are you going to study?

3. Choose your study sources. What sources are you going to use?

4. Evaluate the outcomes. Measure how successful you are. Have you achieved all your objectives?
