The Learning Pathway

Blurb
  D eveloping a solid learning approach can become the most powerful tool in your diagnostic arsenal.

Notes
My first article on the learning to learn subject. Introduces "the flow of information", "right thing first" principle, "system and circuit information".

  Complicated wiring schematics offer a wealth of information but can be awfully difficult to decipher. Dividing them into smaller, more manageable bits can make your job go a heck of a lot smoother. Here’s how to go about it.

Notes
Introduction to wiring diagram Color-Coding.

  If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. When it comes to automotive troubleshooting, the right road is the shortest path.

Notes
This is an exercise in reverse engineering: We know what it is suppose to do. How does it do it? This article also illustrates the value of a logic table vs. a diagram.

Blurb
  Preparing our brains for the ongoing rush of technology starts with self-awareness

Notes
Introduces "taking inventory", "thinking through the box", "thinking in process", and what I call the nucleus of learning: Relationships, Patterns and Processes.

  One of your earliest childhood memories may be a remonstration to "color inside the lines." Coloring on the lines is a simple tool that can be used to increase your understanding of even the most complicated electrical circuits.

Notes
An update to '97 article on wiring diagram color-coding. My goal was to show how to Color-Code and the related dynamics that make it such a powerful tool.
