A valuable short course that can teach you different ways to approach learning. Teaches you new ways to think about your own learning and explains how to form strong long term memories and the best ways to do it.

Lot's of good material and learned some good ways to learn better. Recall, testing earlier and more often, and tackling hard problems first then switching to easy when stuck are just a few good methods discussed.

All the information that you gain in this course is something I would describe as "Clean" and neatly presented to Us as Students in each video and lecture. Notes and you're understanding is all that is necessary.

Fantastic Course
Really enjoyed the useful, relevant and well presented material. Barb is true to her values and I particularly respected her one interview where she defended her "Start hard - jump easy" approach.

Great information for those who do not know how to actually study and how things really work in the brain. I give my students the tip of not studying more than 30 to 40 minutes at a time and it really helps them.

It was good learning how to learn. Managed to get a new perspective on how to study and realized I was doing some of them without knowing what it was exactly. Give yourself time and study bit by bit. Great work!
