Watch A Bit Of A MOOC On Learning Math And Science; Help My Friend
A friend of mine, engineering professor Barbara Oakley, is preparing a massive open online course (MOOC) for Coursera about how to learn math and science (and pretty much anything else) more easily using insights from neuroscience.
Her first brief ten minute video is here. She'd appreciate it if you might be willing to watch the video, and then comment in the very brief survey here.
Also, if you might know middle school, high school, or college students who would be willing to watch and comment on the video, please just pass along the links and urge them on. This video something that is meant to help learners of all ages, whether they are struggling or excelling at math and science -- and your comments and others' will help let Dr. Oakley know whether she's on the right track.
Feel free to also leave comments here.
When will the course be available? What name will it be under? I logged into coursera to check it out but the search came up with nada.
Thank you

Her gender-neutral unkempt look detracts from the value of the video. A little style effort on her part would elevate her to the level of the information she's trying to convey.
The short survey implies that a math/science student/graduate would not find the video of as much value as a non-math/science student/graduate.
