Great course! This is a lot more general than Learning about Learning but is also useful nonetheless. I like the focus on keeping positive and being confident in your potential despite our weaknesses.

This course teaches about having a growth mindset and personal development. The instructors spoke clearly and communicated their ideas in an accessible, engaging and easy-to-understand format. However, I thought this course was only average. The syllabus seems disjointed and incohesive. I didn't understand the rationale for the themes for different weeks. I was also disappointed with the assessments. The answers were either very obvious or required to know word-for-word what the instructor said- in that sense, you didn't apply the knowledge that was taught to you and ironically, is counter-intuitive to the ideas that was being taught in Mindshift.

It was an entertaining course but the title is misleading. Only the first part regarding breaking through obstacles to learn was true. "Discover your hidden potential" is a big claim and unfortunately the course material didn't deliver as promised. It felt like the the same old "selling shovels in the gold rush" tactic. Maybe a title like that provides some confidence and hope to people that have not been able to focus in their studies but I think promising to "discover a hidden potential" is too uncertain to declare.

OK, felt like Learning to Learn (btw excellent course) rehash. I felt this course was a bit muddled, was trying to ascertain what their focus was, career prep? paradigm shifts? epiphanies? learning and studying habits? neurology? Some good points, like the value of being open to learning skills that are completely out of your area of supposed expertise and having a growth mindset, but I felt the presentation lacked focus and didn't translate their background reference material (which was great to read in my own time)
