Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event. The history of the word experience aligns it closely with the concept of experiment.

The concept of experience generally refers to know-how or procedural knowledge, rather than propositional knowledge: on-the-job training rather than book-learning. Philosophers dub knowledge based on experience "empirical knowledge" or "a posteriori knowledge".

The interrogation of experience has a long tradition in continental philosophy. Experience plays an important role in the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard. The German term Erfahrung, often translated into English as "experience", has a slightly different implication, connoting the coherency of life's experiences.

A person with considerable experience in a certain field can gain a reputation as an expert.

Certain religious traditions (such as types of Buddhism, Surat Shabd Yoga, mysticism and Pentecostalism) and educational paradigms with, for example, the conditioning of military recruit-training (also known as "boot camps"), stress the experiential nature of human epistemology. This stands in contrast to alternatives: traditions of dogma, logic or reasoning. Participants in activities such as tourism, extreme sports and recreational drug-use also tend to stress the importance of experience.

Q. I am making a poster on good and bad learning experiences for college. It would be a great help if you could answer the question above. What have you found best for learning and the worst for learning? What distracts you and what encourages you? Do you learn better in different environments and if so which ones? Can you give examples of times when you have had a good learning experience or even a bad one? Thanks a bunch everyone :)

What were some of your experiences and what are some tips for pre med major?
Q. I already have BA and I want to attempt pre med. What are some things I should keep in mind? What were your experiences? Useful Tips for MCAT? ANything and everything would be helpful.

A. Pre-med is not a major. More generally it is like a program. Theoretically one does not even need a B.A. or B.S. to be admitted to a Medical School; they particularly need only 90 college credits and prerequisite courses. 2 years of chemistry (general through organic with labs), 1 year of physics with labs, 1 year of biology, a biology lab course, and often calculus; some schools do not require it. Getting into med-school is difficult, so the best tip I can give you is to study all of the time.
