    Aafrin Bordiwala completed this course, spending 3 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be very easy.

    The MOOC on “How to learn online ” teach some great techniques of focused and productive learning not only online but also offline. Stress and time management are good units of the course. Very short but knowledgable each unit. The course one can complete in one single day.
