My short answer: By asking a lot of bad Q's...
My long answer:
I finished college w/ a C average (which I maintain is A OK!), didn't get into any PhD programs, and felt like I never really "got it" in most courses (astro being almost the only exception).
Asking Q's is my "secret" to super active listening.
Q - On slide 20, why does X go between 0 and 2, not 0 and 1?
(an actual Q I asked yesterday)
BUT, ready for the twist?
Are you at risk of becoming that guy? Be honest w/ yourself.
