About this course

Most people waste hours re-reading notes, highlighting text, and hoping information sticks — a strategy cognitive science consistently shows to be among the least effective. This course replaces those habits with spaced repetition schedules, retrieval practice, the method of loci, and interleaving — techniques validated by decades of laboratory and classroom research. You will build a personalised learning system you can apply to any subject immediately.
