This class feels basic, but it hold deep truths about how to be a better learner and it provides great research you can go deeper into on your own. Excellent instruction, you get out what you put in.

The book "a mind for numbers" is well worth the price. It helps fill in the gaps in some of the lectures and provides additional and in depth information
