This is my first course at coursera platform and I enjoyed it. I've had the best experience of moocs learning and I loved the recall testing strategy which I found most helpful throughout the course.

Очень полезный курс, очень сжато и содержательно о том как лучше усваивать и запоминать информацию. Вдохновившись курсом, сейчас читаю книгу Барбары Окли "Думай как математик", пожалуй лучшее приложение к курсу.

Very interesting content and effective teaching. However, the quizzes are too easy so in order to really benefit from the course I think it's important to take responsibility and do retrieval practice "offline".

This is a great course. A lot of the ideas are intuitive but to hear an expert give scientific backing to them and reassurance is very helpful. Its a great course to give you confidence in your ability to learn.

I loved this course. I am a final year student. I wish someone had told me everything that I have learnt during my first year. It would have made a very big difference. Well, better later than never, in my case.

Everyone must go through this course. In schools, we were taught to go after grades, but no one (till today!) is teaching the right/effective method to learn. I wish I could've taken this course earlier in life
