Probably the most important course I've ever taken in my life and it was completely free. Already applied many of the concepts and have seen the difference. Do yourself a favor and take this course.

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!

Everybody needs to go through this course once, even if some things sound obvious. You'll never doubt if and why studying and teaching techniques work or not.

Perhaps parts of the course could have been shorter.
I particularly like that the tests are designed for an extra learning, not just designed for "checking".
