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.

It was a wonderful journey of learning how to learn. Simple and effective. Wish i had come across something like this a little early in life. But better late than never. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I so wish I did this course before starting college and not after finish it, my college life would have been so much easier. They don't teach us these skills in school or college, unfortunately. Thank you Barbara and Terrence for this great input.

Brilliant course. I've been watching many videos about self-improvement and how to learn faster, but this was one of the most complete and didactic material I've come across. It gives helpful insights to the way we process new subjects and skills.

After many fraustrations throught my academic career I have final found the lessons which I wish had been taught! All kids in secondary schools should be taught these lessons (and probably repeated every year) before they are taught anything else.

A very interesting and well-prepared course. I am sure it will be very useful for me in the future (in fact - it is very useful already, as I started using some of the technics already while learning a foreign language). Really worth recommending!

Wonderfully designed and very well organized course. I especially like the way the honor's assignments have been put together. You might be familiar with some of the contents if you follow productivity or study YouTubers such as Thomas Frank etc.

I think every student who wants to put their most and achieve the most in their studies should do this course. One thing I like to point out that it is not just good for students, it is good for other people like sportsmen, artists, musicians etc

I have learned a lot from this course. This course is well structured and it is able to streamline our mind to focus on the learning process instead of the learning result. More importantly, I have learned many techniques to learn efficiently. :)

This is an exceptional course. I wish I knew about it before. My previous job role allowed me to facilitate on several courses and I am little impressed by many presenters. However, the presenters and the material was beyond my expectations.
