This course should be mandatory for every student and parent! It would save a lot of stress for kids, who rate themselves based on academic success.
It has some really useful tips and tricks that are easy to remember and try.

This course really helped me to understand different ways to improve my learning and thinking abilities. I would recommend others to follow this course since it makes you learn about the things which we think we already know.

I like the way material is presented. As mention in the course, our education system more bother about result of learning. But first time, I learned the process of learning itself. Very useful when I study any new material.

This course is amazing. I found out why I have failed so much in my studies so far. This course should be taken in all elementary schools. That way everyone would understand the importance of studying and how to really study.

You should definitely do this course if you are: i. A disciplined, self-motivated lifelong learner ii. Curious about how you learn and looking to hack the best way to learn iii. An aspiring autodidact or an aspiring polymath.

This course makes tackling a new subject methodic and easy, even addressing public enemy #1 - procrastination (I bet you thought I was going to say Donald Trump). It becomes so much harder to get thrown off track. Thank you!

Fantastic course. There were complex concepts delivered in simple (but not patronising) language, and some practical steps to take during your continued learning.
Thank you very much for an entertaining and informative course.
