Great course for people of all ages, if you are an avid learner. I really liked how the course combines explanation of the neuro-cognitive process as they relate to learning new skills and also giving practical tips on how to exploit some of those processes.

Fantastic course with lots of material and ideas to learn more effectively. Barbara is a great talker, and the videos are built up with great points at a good pace. Especially interesting is all the extra material that is recommended, and all the interviews.

The course is really helpful, I can easily apply the techniques acquired in class to practical use. And there is so much we should know about how brain is functioned to help us achieve learning goals. Really wish I have known this in high school or earlier.
