I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

Considero que los presentadores están bien preparados para impartir y simplificar las ideas que dieron. Los videos podrían mejorar significativamente invirtiendo en elementos visuales, pero me agradó bastante en general :)

Really great course. I was totally surprised by how much I did not know about learning. Recall and quizzes were always annoying to me and now I know why! They challenge your brain in ways rereading do not! Thanks so much!

Barbara Oakley does a good job of presenting course material in the videos. I find her relatable. The course has helped me review and learn some new things about studying that I hadn't made a really aware connection to.
