At the very beginning of the course, I felt disengaged, But now I strongly say this THE course every learner should take up. The course has nicely crafted with a blend of Brain function facts and learning skills. I submit my heartfelt gratitude to both teachers.

Excellent course introducing several techniques and the science behind effective learning and mastering of subjects, no matter which subject. I strongly recommend this course - even an effective learner will come out learning at least 1 or 2 new tips and tricks.

A great help. I think the course has saved me lots of time which would otherwise have been spent on pointless repetition. Instead I will now spend more time organising my studies, looking for study groups and recalling what I think I have learnt to test myself.

Very useful and good structured course. Add in the reccomended reading books and you'll ease your studies a lot with the insights gained here.
The only minus for me in this course is a technical one, the audio should be louder in my opinion. Apart from that 5/5!

This is an amazing course and the companion text is awesome. In just a few weeks I was able to share theses skills in a workshop I was facilitating on text taking and each one of the graduate students who attended was able to pass using some very basic technics.

I loved this course and have learnt so much. Some of the videos lacked quality, especially in terms of sound but it wasn't too bad. The additional resources were really good for reinforcing the main content and I'd recommend future larners have a look at these.

Shows you the inside of the factory called your "brain", helping understand what`s going inside it and how your actions affect your learning process and outcome. It helps you focus on productive learning methods, and helps recognize malignant habitual patterns.
