imho if you plan on taking the course, try to find a better solution to every idea they suggest. The ideas behind why learning is the way it is are valid and well researched, but their solutions, while valid, could be better.

If the course moved from a set of rules to a set of principles and a philosophy, imho the course would be more useful.

One of the few things that blew my mind in the course was how they interviewed someone who went around the world learning different languages at an accelerated rate. His method is to learn enough to ask questions, then he only spoke in that language slowly picking up the language the way a kid does.

Most of the class comes down to differentiating between a focused and diffused state (though it's really a spectrum) and how to get into each mental state and the benefits of doing so.

imho, if you want to accelerate learning, learn how to meditate. It will increase awareness and reduce distractions. Though this is a bit more advanced than the class' recommendation.
