The course has amazing content. It's a very structured with an interesting approach. For someone who procrastinates a lot, I didn't get bored! I wish we had this course way back in High School. So many tips and my favorites are the Pomodoro and the Memory Palace techniques. I highly recommend this course for everyone.

Best course I ever had so far!!! I love the way the two main professors teach in these great fantastic videos, I love the speed they talk and it really makes sense to me. I really love these interviews that Barbara did with those great people in different areas. It's really worth my time!!!! I can't appreciate more!!!

It was the first course that I finished in Coursera and I loved it. I really got excited about what I was learning and I've been using it in my work and in my stydy. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It was the incentive that I needed to invest in myself again and learn new things that I always wanted to know.

This course is an excellent mix of practical exercises and lessons, mixed with deeper understanding of principles found in the science of learning, helping students understand how the brain learns and how we process and store information.

I think this is a superb class for a subject that is highly relevant to everyone.

It was very enjoyable and helpful. As a sociologist I found all the topics very intersesting because you managed to keep it both professional and easy-going. Excelent teachers, very insipiring. I believe that everbody can watch it and understand it. Thank you for this course and I hope we will see more in the future.

The course was very insightful. I learned a lot and it helped me gain a different perspective on how to study compared to traditional study methods. Understanding how one thinks and learning ways to correct common misconceptions would be very helpful and in realizing one's own study style and become a better learner.

I have really enjoyed this course, a lot more than I thought I would. Doing this course has made me think about my own learning techniques and what I have been doing right or wrong. It was really interesting and it has inspired me to look more into how to be a better learner. I would definiteky recommend this course.

i am tremendously happy for enrolling to such a great course like that it helped me a lot ,every single information that i have learnt helped me in my ordinary life ,i have been more aware a bout every thing happens to me ,i ma really honored for covering my free time by attending to this course,thank you so much

Realmente disfrute este curso, me mantuve motivado en aprender y me resultaron muy útiles los conocimientos que adquirí, he logrado modificar algunos hábitos y he mejorado mi productividad. Ahora quiero seguir profundizando en el tema y compartir este conocimiento con otras personas. Gracias y saludos desde Colombia.

This course presents a number of strategies which will definitely make your learning more effective -- if you apply them! Spaced retrieval, one of the key strategies, is notorious for not being applied even by students who have been exposed to the research on its value. So, learn how to learn, and go out and DO IT!

After having spent years away from any structured or institutional learning, this course gave me a great set of tools, perspectives, and strategies that are making the undertaking of resuming study much less of a 'boogeyman' - I can't thank Barb and Terry enough for bringing this course to fruition. Thanks, everyone.

Very interesting course. Learning how to learn is important for us, because homo sapiens due evolution are design to learn in jungle or deserts or country land but as we have live in earth from 200 hundred years ago (and before) and fast changes make that us need to learn diferent to master tecnologies and knowledge.

I can highly recommend this course to learners of all ages. I feel I got a lot out of it and wish that I had taken it many years earlier in my life. I'm now encouraging my kids (one in high school, one in college) to take it. I'm convinced both will benefit from it a lot and become better and more efficient learners.

An absolutely phenomenal course. I will recommend this to all of my students and colleagues. The course design, techniques and delivery were excellent. I appreciate the time and thought put into every detail as well as the humor and personal touches. It was worth every minute and will be useful in many walks of life.

Wow, I'm pretty impressed, I'm doing this course now for a week [2nd approach] and I can see the first results already. I'm confident now to handle a lot more tasks than ever before and yes I'm happy.

If you have some struggle with learning, here you can figure out effective and useful ways to approach it.

Good luck!

Amazing!! It gives tools that are very useful, it's nice to watch, easy, and it also explains many of our behaviours and habits in a very useful way. I love it and I think it can be useful for learners but also for teachers because it gives a new perspective on how we learn and the best ways of approaching knowledge.

This is an Awesome course ! it's a "page -turner".. it is so deep yet easy to understand and incorporate into your daily life..i Just Love it ! I would like to thank the instructors especially Dr Barbara Oakley for her efforts to make this course easy and comprehensive for everyone !

Highly Recommended for Everyone !

Excellent tutors and material.I am 59 years old now and wish I had known this stuff when I was at school and before I decided to go into further education,at the age of 30. I would have even got a better grade than I did for my degree. I think this course should be part of any school's / college curriculum Thank you.

I so thoroughly enjoyed this course Barb Oakley is wonderful and engaged me the whole time. I will be reviewing this course as much as I can over the months to get those "chunks" into my head. Testing always has me concerned but the advise here made a lot of sense, like getting a good sleep the night before!! Thanks

Really useful to anyone who wants to learn or teach a lot but has never had a clue on how to do it in the most optimal way. Having this knowledge has allowed me to understand why I wasn't learning much and how I could improve my note-taking methods and learning habits so what I learn sticks for longer, even forever.

Один из лучших курсов на Coursera. Действительно эффективные методы, которые изменят вашу учебную жизнь к лучшему. Огромная благодарность всем профессионалам и участникам интервью, которые были причастны к созданию данного курса. Это дополнительно мотивировало и создавало условия для достижения личных учебных целей.

So First , a lot of thanks to Coursera and Syrian youth assembly to give me this chance to start online courses and learning new things .

The course was very interesting and useful in all respects, and I learned a lot from him through explanations and examples

thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski .

That's just wonderful! So many suggestions to improve a process solving difficult problems, learning something new and tricky things. Unlike other sources of the tricks described here, in this course it's explained why these techniques work. That's really very useful. Especially for me, who doesn't believe in magic.

great course if you really want to learn something new take this course. course have really good stuff, concepts that will going to help in your learning.I found about new learning concepts that i can use in my real life with learning new things. thanks for this course. awesome three weeks with learning how to learn

This was the very first I enrolled since joining Coursera. It blew me away. Barb has a way to keep your attention.

Regarding the content: very good stuff. A lot of thinks I did not know. Please don't skip over the optional interviews. These provide great insights of how very successful people deal with this subject.
