Excellent course! Would highly recommend it to anyone, not just students. It was very well thought out and actually taught me how to learn. I enjoyed the videos as they were short, sweet, and straight to the point. I am definitely going to be able to study more efficiently and take tests more confidently.

This is one of the best (maybe the best) course on Coursera, seriously! It applies to EVERYONE, because everyone is LEARNING. This should be your first course on Coursera, so that you learn here how to learn, to apply it on the other courses you want to do on Coursera. Thank you so much Barbara and Terry!

This was a really good first course to take. I learned a lot about how to study in a more effective manner. There were a lot of errors that I was making when studying, which were pointed out to me during the videos and thoroughly explained, while giving better alternatives in the same videos or in others.

I am deeply grateful to all the teachers, experts, and interviewees in this course, for their knowledge sharing, which will help to strengthen my learning powers. Furthermore, I'll recommend this course for sure to my friends who need to improve their learning competence, one of our life-time capability.

Before I took the course, I was a notorious procrastinator. Afterwards, that's changed drastically as I finally possess the know-how to better deal with it and motivate myself. That along with everything else the course has to offer convinces me that I will do much better on tests and studying in general.

When they say learn powerful mental tool to help you master tough subjects... they meant it! Dr. Barbara Oakley has done a fantastic job at making this course smooth and entertaining. If you put in the effort you will come out with the necessary tools for your lifelong education. What are you waiting for?

I have always thought of myself as a good student. I like learning, and I'm a teacher. And being a good student means always looking for ways to improve or seeking solutions for performance gaps and fighting procrastination. This course (and the book Mind for Numbers) were helpful and easy to complete.

This is a wonderful course that teaches you the right ways of learning. We generally don't pay attention to the learning style we are following, this course makes you aware of more effective techniques which can be applied. Also the information about what is going on in our brains while leaning was great.

I enjoy this course a lot. It helps me understand better about my pitfalls in learning and how to deal with it. The course walks the talk by applying learning technique through out the materials (metaphor and analogy) that makes it easier for participants to understand and really make the knowledge stick!

Un curso útil, amigable y que nos enseña las maravillas del cerebro humano y herramientas de aprendizaje que se pueden aplicar en todas las áreas. Lo he recomendado ya a toda la gente que conozco, así como la lectura del libro "A Mind For Numbers" de la Dra. Barbara Oakley. Realmente he quedado fascinada.

The graphics and language used in this course are easy to understand, even new terms are well defined through context clues and visual cues. I have already learned and applied so many of the things I've learned and I'm even helping my fiancé get through his graduate classes more effectively this semester.

This course is an eye opener for me on the way I used to learn new things. This is having significant positive impact on my life now and in future. I have learnt lots of powerful tools and methods to improve the way I learn things. Thank you so much for the professors, Coursera team and everyone involved.

This course prooved that with right technique anyone can learn new things. Thank you Barbara Oakley and terrence sejnowski for creating this insightful course.

I wish I had watched this earlier. It fundamentally changed the way I approach learning. I am so grateful for both of the instructors – their love for learning was loud and infectious. I found this course to be easy to digest, informative, and entertaining. It is by far the best MOOC I have taken so far.

This is the first time ever I have attended a full online course and has been taking it seriously. Well done preparation of the course. I immersed with every lessons of her (Prof. Babara Oakly) Thanks for the course again. Would love to be influenced more by Prof. Babara Oakly and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski!

I think that this course is one of the best I learned. I highly recommend it for everyone. In this course you know some of wrong ways to learn and solution for them to improve your skills through understanding how to memory work. Beside, you also know the role of relaxation and entertainment in studying.

Excelente curso para la vida, los profesores enseñan muy bien, uno se da cuenta que durante la vida uno nunca ha aprendido como debe ser, ahorita uno ya no piensa que es bobo sino que nunca a aprendido como debe ser, gracias a este curso por motivarme a aprender y a mejorar la confianza en mi memoria !!!

Excellent course with simple to use techniques that helps in learning. The course instructors were superb. In very easy to understand language they explained the concepts of the how the process of learning works and how the mind can be trained to learn better. Many thanks to Professors Barbara and Terry.

It was great.l really enjoyed it. I have attended many such sessions for the guidance of my students but some of the tips were very amazing like attempting the paper from hard to easy questions and revising the paper from back to front and the reasons were logically justified .It was superb.Thanks a lot.

Highly recommend this course for everyone. It provides great insights into your own learning style and shares great tips and methods to "Learn how to Learn" to achieve better results in everything you do. No matter how young or old, everyone will be able to have find something useful and benefit from it.

I think that this course is something that should be taught and emphasized on early in the college career. It has concepts that are necessary for success. I feel that if this course was available to me when I was in undergrad, I would've excelled much more and probably would've been able to tack on more.

Thank you so much! It has been amazing to watch and read all this scientific content. Not just for students but for anyone who would like to adopt a life long learning habits, this course is a true treasure. I really liked the illustrations and how calmly Barbara presents the material. Thank you so much!

This course concisely debunks every major issue associated with learning. The professors are engaging, kind, and funny. Learning How To Learn has inspired the confidence in me to continue my academic career after years away from college. Thank you so much for making this information available for all!

Excellent (especially Dr Oakley; really easy to listen to, cadence and attitude encouraged me to continue with the course till the end). Useful tools, useful introduction to the science underpinning the tools and observations. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning something new and complex.

An absolutely life changing course. I am so lucky to have found out about this - not only has it helped to re-spark my passion in learning, it has helped me in my academic career to relearn and understand concepts that were once difficult for me. Thank you to both wonderful teachers for this opportunity!
