I got a lot out of this course. I am now paying particular attention to using the focused and diffuse modes of thinking, and spaced repetition in my learning - and the pomodoro technique for everything from academia to housework!

I learned a a lot about effective learning and maximizing the potential. I think I should have taken this course before I started my high school in 2001.
I recommend to every individual to take this course without any hesitation.

While most of this information can easily be found elsewhere, it's a great refresher course if you have learned this stuff, and a well organized introduction if you haven't. The thing that puts it over the edge is the Interviews.

The course exceeded my expectations.
My main reason for doing the course was to give me ideas as to how to learn a new language (my third) after the age of 60 and in a new country and environment. Needless to say, I am encouraged!

Really excellent course. I knew some of the learning techniques but not how they were connected with neuroscience and brain function. Would recommend this course to students and lifelong learners like myself. Thanks for sharing.
