After going thru this it made me double down on SRS Recall with Anki and it has helped me a lot. For things that you can get solid repetition thru daily life, work, etc it isn't necessary, but if it's not something that you'll encounter often enough now using SRS will speed up the initial learning stages.

Like mentioned above though don't get caught up in optimization. Just make your cards and review them.

I can't really recommend this course. I think most people interested in the subject at all are able to find SRS and memory palace.

The specialty of that generation of MOOC teachers was similar to Ted talk hosts. Very inspiring and distracting from any actual learning on the idea that taking their course first is somehow optimizing instead of corrupting. Serious material is harder to study after getting dopamine hits for going through this entertainment.
