It's okay to disagree with any of those bullets. I disagree with the entire hand out, but that's not relevant to the people it works for in whole or in part.

I'm a total autodidact. I've been doing it long enough that I know what works for me, but I know that many people don't have the base knowledge to do it, so if they need a resource on how to become a better self-learner (or be successful at coursera), at least it is a start.

Testing/recall and spaced repetition well validated. Focus seems like a gimme. What are your specific problems?

Curious to know, what works for you?

Not the parent but the most powerful technique for me is definitely doing recalling, and for this you definitely need to have patience.
