This course accumulates a clear and valuable set of thoughts that structure knowledge about learning principles and tactics. Also, it was interesting to know some new things about how the brain works.

A great, light, and fun course on learning. It was really easy to take in casually, and the optional video interviews were surprisingly insightful. I also looked over the optional reading links and many of them were extremely fun and useful.

Fantastic course for an undergraduate like me. Not only for this undergraduate but also for the one's who like to enhance their learning ability better than before in any field. The age is not the constrain to understand the course material.

Perfect, really interesting. I think this course is changing my way of studying and thinking. Very motivating. Moreover I don't have a very good level of English, but even without Italian subtitles, all the videos were very clear. Thank you!

I got a new view on how to learn and this helped me quite a lot. Maybe not in college because I think that what I'm learning is useless in the long run. On the other hand, learning sales, electronics, history has become much more enjoyable.

The perfect course to complete first. Metalearning definitely helped me not just learn faster, but better understand myself.
For me, the sections on procrastination and on how to create chunks helped me the most. I used to cram a lot more.
