    The course was very good enough, and I learn perhaps all those things need to learn anything
    Every matter though in the lecture was important. I loved the course I learned that every brain skill needs time to learn and it's important to spend at least 20hours to get familiar in any skill id doesn't mean 10000hours are not required. It's the best lecture to watch before studying anything , its important to learn how to learn before starting to learn
