Хорошо сформированный материал, легок в восприятии. Слушая лекции даже в первый раз, создается впечатление, что ты уже это знал/изучал. Думаю, причина в том, что язык, которым пытаются донести материал, крайне доступен и легко-усваиваемый

In spite of being somewhat boring at the beginning, the way the ideas and information are presented by the professor grabs the attention right away. I wish they had taught this course when I was in my 20's before I started the university.

I was familiar with some techniques and not with others. Re-affirming the know ones, like Pomodoro, with new ones like the Memory Palace fills me up with confidence to continue learning and pushing the boundaries of what I can accomplish.

Excellent course. I started college in 1969 and went through undergraduate and two graduate programs without knowing this stuff. Things would have been much easier and I may have learned more if I had known this material when I started.

I loved the course! I started binge-watching it initially because I just loved the way Prof. Barbara Oakley described things with visual aids. The course is beautifully designed. The optional interviews with interesting people is a bonus!
