How to monitor your time?
The course taught me to think about my own use of time and how to make a realistic study plan. It's a good course.
I always dislike learning and can't find a way. In this course, I learned to use the "three-step learning mode" : preview, summary and review to become a better student. That's great.
It is never too late to learn. Many people never learn after graduation. In fact, it is very important for each of us to continue learning.
Learning is for a better life, and curriculum leads us to develop effective learning skills for life. Very good.
