This was a great course to take as a teacher, and connects with many resources I use in class. I will encourage colleagues and students to take it to help their own learning (and as students to take ownership of their brains). Thank-you.

Excellent course for anyone who wants to understand the deeper concepts of learning. You will no longer need to say "I don't do well in exams" because you will learn how to learn subjects instead of simply trying to memorize information.
