This is a great course. Barbara's book - Mindset - originally inspired me to overcome my perceived short-comings in regards to mathematics and programming. This course is in a sense a course made out of this book. I've thoroughly enjoyed both and can recommend others to follow in doing so. Learn how to learn, you can do it too!

It is very well organized and explained course with easy tests just to recall informations (which is actually one of the techniques to better learn). It is nice to listen to Mrs Barbara's calm voice. I learned earlier how to learn but i found new very usefull techniques in this course :)

Thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

It is fun taking this course. I found the stuffs I learned from the course will benefit me for rest of my life. I highly recommend to people who have an open mind and willing to learn. This course required commitment. Just learn a little bit a day for 4 weeks, you will able to complete the course like I did. Happy Learning!

This was a great course that helped me realize why I was already using a lot of important learning techniques while learning new skills. The material was presented very eloquently, not to mention the subject matter is inherently interesting. It was a great pleasure taking this course and I couldn't recommend this course enough!

The course is based off cutting edge research and provides valuable advice on the best way to learn anything. Many of the concepts and ideas discussed by Barbara and Terrence resonate clearly with my experiences. One thing I would like to see in a future course is some tips on how to tackle material that isn't student friendly.

It is fantastic course, helped me learn new and powerful techniques for learning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise to students like us. Thanks for this MOOC as many would not have the opportunity to meet you guys or study with you in college to learn these techniques. This online course has solved the problem.

Absolutely amazing course. All the material is of high quality and it's clear they've worked really hard on the structure of the course. Once I began this course it was hard for me to turn away from it!

An absolute recommendation for anyone who wish to deepen their understanding of learning in general and of their own learning.

This is one of the best courses i have ever learnt. It is exceptionally good and has provided me with over 10 new techniques and approaches to learning. On the whole, i would say this has shaped up my idea of what learning is. THANK YOU, Mrs. Barbara Oakley and Mr. Terry Sejnowski. THANK YOU Coursera for providing this course.

this course is amazing! it is filled with new and fresh ideas and the latest research! very useful for self-development and broadening one's horizons. I recommend to everyone who is studying and will learn, as well as obligatory for all teachers and parents! I would like to know how to get certificate of this course????

The course was very lucid and helpful. The videos were short and straight to the point. The material was presented in an interesting way, and the instructors were very likable.

I thought there were several points and facts that I had not known before that will help me to be a better learner in the future which is invaluable.

I highly recommend this course, learning how to learn by Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrance, given the methodology and the way they articulate the course I have to say I was impressed since the first week. That and the new concepts and techniques makes this course a must do as it open the doors to learning new skills efficiently.

OMG!!! I'm trying to become a language study coach. I have been incorporating new techniques for myself as a multiple language learner. I couldn't believe I passed the final test one the first shot with a 94%. I really put into practice what it said, and I am benefiting!!! Can't wait to do another course with these professors!

This course is priceless! I would like to express my gratitude and admiration to the Dr.barbara oakley and Dr. Terrence sejnowski for such a wonderful job, for developing this extraordinary and useful course about learning how to learn and encourage so many people around the world to improve their skills! Thank you very much!

I wish I had taken such a course a lot sooner in my life (I am 34 now), but I'm very grateful for the whole experience, as it will allow me to better organise my life, habits and schedule so I can better acquire new skills without losing valuable time in the process, with structure and clear goals before facing new challenges.

With this short course, I was able to discover new ways of learning whatever topic or concept I want, even if I'm not initially good at it. I'm very thankful that I have learned how to learn the right and effective way. I also appreciate the interactive way of learning because of the videos, quizzes, and my virtual classmates.

I'm very grateful for this course, which gave me strength to face new challenges. I feel confident to try things apparently impossible, until now. in addition to this, the course is fun and full of complementary material. You can go even further! Thanks a lot to Barb Oakley, Terry Sejnowski and the Learning How to Learn Team.

Thanks Barbara for your time and efforts to make this course accesible for everyone. I have been trying to learn many things over the years. But, this makes my life very easy to learn with your techniques. I regret it not knowing these techniques from my college days. As the quote says "Better late than never".

Cheers....

This brief course provided me plenty of practical tools to enhance my learning and studying, as well as to avoid illusions of competence. I particularly enjoyed the lectures in the first and the third weeks, though the whole series of lectures are extraordinary helpful. Also, the optional videos are great and very encouraging.

This is an excellent course for anyone and everyone. I will be recommending to all my friends and kids to learn about the concept of learning. If we all know how to learn effectively, I believe we will overcome one of the fears we all have in life. Learning. Will I become good at that thing? This course answers that and more.

Hello Everyone, anyone who is facing issues with procrastination, and wanted to learn any subject or language, this course is for you. Course material can help you understand the working of your mind, how you can enhance your ability to memorize things effectively and many such techniques which can help you to learn anything.

This course is amazing for anyone who wants to learn anything! The instructors are knowledgable and entertaining. The information they provide is so useful and they've made it easy to start applying the techniques immediately. The additional interviews always added something new to my learning. I highly recommend this course.

Thank you very much to Prof. Barabra Oakly, Prof. Terrence Sejnowski,and Coursera for this wonderful course on “learning how to learn”.Good mixture of research into the neuroscience of learning and practical advice.I appreciated the opportunity to review my own learning methods.Looking forward to applying what I have learned.

Este es un excelente curso que te ayuda a ver el aprender desde una perspectiva diferente a la que en la mayoría de los casos la vemos, al ser mucho mas profunda es muy interesante y completa.

Me encanto haber podido tomarlo y creo que es muy útil para cualquiera que tenga como reto el el abrir su mente y APRENDER A APRENDER!

If you want yo invest your time learning incredible tools to improve your learning and comprehension whit good teachers that have a big tour on this field, this course is for yo. Also if you already have tools but you want yo improve yours abilities. On my case I wanted to enhance my English and get incredible tools to learn.

Great class to take before embarking on a journey to learn new subjects. Taking this class has tremendously helped with my motivation when learning how to program for the first time. Highly recommend it to anyone. Especially helpful to those taking online courses, since it is hard to keep studying at times when we hit a wall.
