This is an excellent course with useful information to improve your learning skills and based in scientific research. I recommend this course very much if you want to acquire new knowledge on how to learn better and more efficiently. Best of all is that the lectures are also entertaining so learning how to learn was also fun!

I think this course is powerfull because, it teach fundamentals tips, modes and many things related to the process of learning, since your mastered an idea until you keep the idea and reforce the knowledge not only using the memmory but also keeping in mind other perspectives, solution's, and related thinks with other carrers

At any stage in life, this course helps us understand our physical and psychological selves. Together with tools offered to make the best use of our bodies and minds, one can get ready to tackle topics that are new to us. I totally enjoyed learning the tools and was surprised to learn so much about our brain.

Fantastic course!

Barbara Oakley patiently, intelligently, and quite effectively explains the growing body of science of memory, learning, and how to master the process. It seems heavily oriented toward college students, but even this 52-year-old working professional will benefit from applying the techniques described in this Coursera. Dig in!

Some topics are very well known by teachers and are told to every student, but It's nice to see a more deep explanation on how our minds work when they are learning and I really appreciate being taught these tricks to help our minds to learn from such knowledgeable academics and researchers like Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrence .

This is an excellent course not only to learn how to learn but also to discover your own hidden potential. Regardless of age, gender, profession or purpose, this course can benefit anyone who is willing or meaning to learn anything at all; be it cooking, cricket or calculus. I am extremely grateful for this course. Thank you!

Me ha sido de mucha utilidad, me gusta mucho aprender, y este curso me ha dado muchas herramientas para hacerlo más eficaz y eficientemente, aún sin haberlo terminado (por cuestiones de tiempo porque mientras termino mi carrera universitaria, pero lo terminaré y lo repetiré para reforzar los conocimientos adquiridos).

Gracias.

Insightful, and very helpful. This course will help you shape your studying and learning techniques, as it teaches you valuable skills. I would recommend it to anyone who is about to start a new course of study or someone who likes learning and wants some more efficient ways to do so and retain what new information is gained.

This is one of the most important courses that I have taken for my entire life, I will try in the future to design a similar course because many people don't have these successful skills taught in this course, I am highly appreciating Dr. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski for their dedication and helpful tips and tricks.

I took this course out of curiosity. I ended up learning much more than I anticipated and it will be quite a while before I can integrate all that I learned. I very much recommend this class. The instructors are nice and clear, the material is interesting and well rounded, and the tests helps you integrate the materials.

One of the best and useful course.Throughly loved the delivery, content and structure of course.the instructors leave no stones unturned to let u have a firm grasp of the material.I wish if had undertaken this course much earlier during my college times, then it would have a tremendous impact on my outcomes.

Loved the course.

This course was excellent! It was so good I stopped another course I was taking to focus on this course (so I could go back to the other course and future courses to study/learn better!)

I can objectively say this course has been very useful and I will work to integrate what it teaches going forward in my studies and at work.

The Masterpiece of the Guide on learning how to learn.

Especially the teacher like Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski is the best teachers in the course. The course completely overviews the process of learning and helps you learn strategies for your life by changing the perspective of seeing through the tools on learning.

This course provides great tips for becoming a more advanced thinker and learner. I would encourage anyone to take this course who is looking to maximize their potential. This course is aimed at college students but I believe that professionals looking to expand upon their skills will also benefit from learning how to learn.

Great course! THanks for the paced interleaved sessions :)

WIsh there was a continual mechanism we could come back to and build on our learning as time goes on. I think this was a great courses introducing us to important concepts in learning how to learn and not just what to learn. Hopefully can get rid of bad habits myself.

Excellent course! This course should be mandatory for everyone, the content is so good. Even the optional videos are excellent and quite valuable. The content is presented in a simple and easy to digest format. Yet the principles are explained in a powerful fashion. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn better.

Great course! The overall structure is very good and introduces new ideas step by step. The course is easy to follow and really has long-term impact - the learned material can be beneficially used in nearly all areas of life and improve them greatly. In only 4 weeks my studying has revolutionized and my grades have gone up.

Great course! I will recommend it to colleges and students. Anyone should know how to learn. I had the same thoughts about learning, this course helped me to pack and confirm my approaches. I liked a scientific base of all material and its good presentation by teachers. Thanks to the team of authors! I enjoyed the course.

actually, when I first time hared about this course I was so excited because it is on the idea no one tells you about (how to learn) and also a lot od the idea that the course mentioned I already know from youtube but

generally, the course is great it has a lot of useful tips for taking tests and information about the mind.

The course is interesting and practical in approach.

The instructors are highly skilled in their approaches. This course has help me to improve in learning because i now know some of the various techniques of learning that have been proven to be effective through research.

i say thank you to my instructors and to coursera.

Thank you so much for the course! It approaches the essential information in a simple and perfectly digestable way. The course gave me a whole lot of useful tips for basic life challenges: studying, personal projects and professional growth. I will definitely use techniques and ideas presented in this course on daily basis.

This course helped me re-establish an approach to learning, something I will continually practice throughout the rest of my life. With clear-cut examples backed with scientific studies, the contents of this course and the effective use of metaphors/analogies, my confidence in learning has improved dramatically. Thank you!!!

Before completing this course, I had struggled with my studying because I did not know how to digest all the knowledge and information effectively. But through each session, I gradually get a hold of how to chunk the information, how to link them together and use them in the test effectively. I highly recommend this course.

This course is very practical and the knowledge gained is balanced by plenty of opportunities to work things out and actually use them. I highly recommend this course for everybody! I've passed on a link to this course to my son, if that tells you anything about the degree to which I believe this course is just plain GREAT!

This course is enlightening . I learned things about how my own brain works that I would have never come up with on my own. I imagine tha I will benefit greatly from this course in my further studying.

I recommend this course for anyone who ahs issues with test taking or wants to get even better results on their test taking.
