"The best way to learn a new subject or skill is to study small segments or details in great depth rather than to start by trying to develop a sense of the whole." I quite disagree with the speaker¡¯s assertion in which he factitiously separate the learning of segment from that of the whole in the process of learning a new subject. Process, varying from the growth of an organism to the learning of a subject or skill, should include the developments of both the segment and the whole that are always combined together in the process. In the observing of the growth of, say, a tree, no one can see that it is after the full growth of the trunk that the branches and leaves begin to grow; a tree grows by the growth of its trunk, its root, its branches and leaves simultaneously.
