Great course: quite small, but very clear and usable format of delivering information, and I love the calm enthusiasm from the instructors. Kind of confirms a lot of what I already noticed, but it's great to know there's science behind it: no excuse not to practice these ideas now!

An eye opener course on how the brain works and how one can optimize learning. Incredibly useful. Spot on tactics on all the problems and fears one might encounter when learning difficult topics in any field. Probably the most important course, it should be mandatory for everyone.

The best course to learn how to learn. You will get answers many questions that you would have had on learning. The methods and techniques will be extremely helpful. I wish I had known these techniques when I was young where I would have enjoyed learning more than I actually did.
