It´s a great course, I learned many tips that helped me to really understand what I'm learning and everything with a scientific method. The teachers are really good and explain quite well the material, they suggest other books, websites and provide many links to interesting readings about brain and the process of learn.

An incredible course that presents a powerful tool kit for learning, understanding ideas, topics and picking up skills. Since learning is a never ending journey through life, there are not too many better ways to spend your time. This is a meta skill that should precede any and all other goals that one hopes to achieve.

Very powerful and explicit especially very for persons who understood that to make this world a better place requires better and an excellent grasp of knowledge. Learning How to Learn gives you that mental capacity to learn more effectively since you cannot think on what you don't know.
Thanks, I'm truly enjoying myself.

Fantastic course! A lot of material and a lot of thinking to be done. Between the lines there is so much more than what it seems.. only practice can internalize such simple but proven-to-be-the-best techniques thought in this course and bring incredible improvements. So start practicing immediately and.. enjoy the ride!

I think this course it's very good for anybody. New concepts are added in a friendly way, easy to remember. The videos are short so that you can watch them in different days if you don't have time to watch all of them in one day. I am very grateful that I found this course because it helped me so much with my learning.

I think everyone should take this amazing course, because it's very wise to learn how to learn before you dive into learning blindly. Also, the professors in the lectures are very inspiring and fun. The course is very well organized itself. Also, there are many extended learning materials waiting for me. Come and join!

Amazing course!
Now, just to say (but this comment is regarding the Coursera certificates) it would be great if they can put the amount of hours that were taken in every course in the certificate, some goverments and companys in other countrys validate the course only if the certificate shows the amount of hours of it.

Très utile lorsqu'on n'a pas appris depuis longtemps et qu'on a le sentiment de ne plus savoir faire ! Des outils pratiques pour lutter contre la procrastination, et la valorisation des temps de créativité (sport, sommeil, activités diverses...) à une époque où on assimile parfois ces temps ... à de la perte de temps !

Very useful course! Specially if you are in school or college, but good for anyone! Very practical, interesting and inspiring, great tips. I enjoyed it very much. Now I have a very clear idea of how to study to learn (not to just pass a test) and I will be able to help my son very soon with these techniques. Thumbs up.

I found this extremely helpful. I recently retired at 73, but this has given me the impetus to continue to give it a try to work in a consulting capacity. It is just another challenge in life, but thanks to the course, it will be a little more enjoyable. Thank you for all the ideas, that will help me in the future.

I am many years beyond my formal education and at an earlier point, about 15 years ago, thought I would be hard pressed to take on new learning tasks. I have been pleasantly finding out that I can still be a decent student, and this course has helped me considerably. Thanks very much to the teachers and other staff.

This course not only changed my mindset, it also change my life. It sounds like a cliche but I truly noticed a change in myself.
