How to Research: Finding Out Whether It's True

The discipline underneath every documentary, oral history, news piece and civic record: how to ask a question that can be answered, find sources worth trusting, corroborate what matters, and be honest in public about what you could not settle. Built on the Trusted Documentation Rubric this platform grades real work against.

Learning How to Learn

Most of us were never taught how to study, so we reread, highlight, and cram, which feel productive but fade fast. This course replaces those habits with what cognitive science actually shows works: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, sleep, and deliberate practice. Each lesson is cited to the original research. By the end you'll have a study system you can run on any subject, and know why each piece earns its place.

Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan: The Science of Actually Doing It

Everyone told you to visualize success. The research says that, on its own, it makes you less likely to get it. This course teaches what actually works instead: mental contrasting (imagine the outcome, then confront the obstacle inside you) combined with implementation intentions (if this happens, then I will do that). Together they are called MCII, and Gabriele Oettingen's team packages them for the public as Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan. You will finish able to run the method correctly on a real goal of your own, explain why each of the four steps is there, and, just as importantly, say honestly what the evidence does and does not support. Every study is cited with a DOI. The effects are real and they are modest, and this course tells you which is which.
