One thing I felt I discovered over time is that if you wish to retain all knowledge you learned in a course, it's basically impossible to do so at a normal course's pace. The courses move too fast. You basically have to cram and forget.
I based this off of a Coursera course - I made anki cards for all the new information and made sure to review all the new cards on the day I learned them. The review time rapidly turned into hundreds of cards per day and it just didn't scale.
For that one Coursera course, I ended up being stubborn and limiting my pace to what I could Anki. I ended up taking the Coursera course three times - I passed 100% the final time, but still hadn't finished putting the last two weeks of content into Anki.
