Other: The content is nice - a few useful techniques with some scientific foundations. I prefer more exercises and practical methods that would teach me discipline and let me implement the methods I've learned. The tests after each material are good and helpful for remembering the information; however, they are not practical to implement the methods themselves

Other: This course is like one of those nostalgic memories, which force us to desire foresight. Generally speaking though the course is helpful for everybody, but it will be a boon for many students. Many techniques and scenarios discussed in the course will definitely help both during learning phase and also during revision as well as in tests.

Other: Wonderful course to understand how to build sessions for different learners, what to incorporate in learning for maximising learning. From a student perspective I think a lot of what we have done in school but forget to do as adult learners, that we still need to be the child when it comes to learning

Other: Took this course just out of interest. It has literally expanded my horizons and my mind. It has allowed me to explore how my learning was limited through my mind. Loved it thoroughly. Always thankful to the faculty and Coursera for helping me grow.
