This is a really good course for... well, basically for everyone. It helped me to bust my learning (I'm a musician keen on learning languages). The instructor is very knowledgeable, and there is a lot of good humor and powerful metaphors in the course.

GREAT MATERIAL! Very helpful, explained clearly and the length of videos and tasks was great for people with tight schedules. You can do 1 or 2 videos anytime since they are very short and that way progress a little bit every day.
Excellent Course!

I used audible to read the book "A Mind for Math and Science" and was fascinated with many things mentioned in the book. I took a plunge to take this course to deeply understand the nuances in learning. Hoping to put it to effect now into other areas.

This course is very helpful, I love turning this on in the morning - as a form of podcast. Little changes they suggest, if implemented, have a profound impact on line. Also, try yoga and meditation - great augmentations to improve cognitive abilities.

Easy to understand, beneficial and practical tips for "learning how to learn."
I will try to use some of these techniques- I am halfway through this course- and I will come back and add more to my review after I have completed this course.
So far, good!

A class that I think should be a requisite at schools. I had discovered some of this techniques on my own the hard way, after completing a bachelor's degree.Wish I had taken this class before. Although, the tips will still help me through grad school.
