Very useful. Explained how the brain - mind and memory - works, and showed techniques for learning more effectively. Wish I'd known about this stuff while I actually went to high-school and college!

This course is very helpful, it gives a lot of techniques and basis to study better, and also to be aware to avoid the bad techniques. By the way, the bad techniques are the most popular around the world

Благодарю за курс. Все лаконично, понятно и правда без практики, самостоятельной работы над материалом не обойтись. А поделиться информацией с людьми, которым интересна тема, это упорядочить свои знания.
