Preface

It is a free course on coursera, taught by Dr. Barbara Oakley (opens in a new tab) and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski (opens in a new tab), you can enroll here (opens in a new tab)
I came across with it because my coding teacher recommended us to take it after we graduated
I was told that it is good course, but I didn't know it would be so beneficial that it changed many perspectives I had had about learning
I love this course because it solved mysteries I had ever since I went to school:
- Why is it so hard to memorise subject related stuff?
- Why my classmates can always outperform me in not just one but usually various subjects?
- How can I get better at learning?
These are the notes I took back in 2021
The notes were not intended to be shared, that's why the content could be messy
I have always wanted to retake the course because of how impactful it was to me
I want to re-learn it with the new learning techniques and experience I have had over the last two years
I would like to retake this course and write new notes in the future, so it is more readable for my future readers
