The course shown me a lot of wonderful techniques that I've not known before. I know why I failed or struggled to learn when I was in shool and how to improve my current study. Thank you so much for bring this awesome course to anybody in the world.

A transformative course. As a high school teacher, I've shared this course with so many colleagues as we seek to improve the study-skills of our students. One of the best short courses I've taken, MOOC or otherwise. Thank you Barbara and Terence.

I really loved having taken this course. Classes are taught in an incredible and passionate way. Great gratitude to the teachers, the interviewees, the colleagues to all who have shared their knowledge with us and in such a beautiful way. Gratitude!

Great fundamentals about learning. Clarifies how to learn after years of what now feels like wasted school that was unable to place the wrong emphasis on how to learn effectively. Makes learning feels like less of a chore and more interesting again.

My first course on coursera. It's a great start - very interesting and inspiring course. I recommend it to anyone, who wanna try courses. You'll learn how to rid off procrastionation, manage your task, prepare to tests, use a pomodoro technique etc.

Barbara Oakley is very thorough in her teaching skills. The best part about this class is she dis show what the problem is, how it happens and the solution. Great, great class. I encourage everyone to take this course before taking other classes.

I am very thankful that I have downloaded this app and enrolled in to this course I came to know that lot of my practices with I thought was correct were wrong and I am very thankful for madam Barbara Oakley and sir Terry and the entire courses team

This course is LIFE ALTERING!

I've even read the book by Barbara Oakley - "A Mind for Numbers" from cover to cover and I've absolutely loved the book as well. I do plan to read the book twice a year so as to cement the lessons into my learning self.

Highly recommended. After taking this course I learnt that how my study methods were absolutely wrong. I used to spend more time than needed because I actually didn't the right approach. This is something we were never taught in schools or colleges.

I think the difficulty of the course and progress is very suitable for beginners, you can see very attentively when producing, I looked up some information in learning, think that teacher is very clear. So this course I'm very satisfied, very happy!

The mental tools presented are really helpful. And I'm happy to see that I've been using some of the techniques even before the course, but now that I'm conscious about them, things will be easier to understand and I'll benefit more from my studies.

I really learn so much in this course. It help me to understand more about learning, about how the brain work, and it also useful for my teaching. I think I can use all things I've learnt in this course for my children and my students. Many thanks.

Truly an amazing 4-weeks course that helped me to understand and recognize the significance of focused vs. diffuse thinking, procrastination, chunking, and memory. Many thanks to the wonderful instructors, Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski!

It is an excellent course! I have found out new things about how to learn in an intelligent and effective way. The teachers are marvellous and explain every concept very well with good mood and in an understandable way.

I am happy to have done it!

Deberían obligar a los maestros y profesores a tomar este curso y planificar sus clases de acuerdo a los descubrimientos de la Neurociencia. A pesar de que soy muy buena investigando, leyendo y estudiando, el curso llenó y superó mis expectativas.

Thank you so much Barbara and Terrence. I have learned so much during this course. Both fundamental knowledge to understand how my mind works and practical techniques to use my brain, and my body, more efficiently to learn more, faster and happier.

Excellent training, powerfull tips, a very productive way to invest your time!

I would recommend this training to everyone, from primary school children to highly educated proffesionals, there is for sure something to learn or recall for everyone!

I highly recommend the course as it is the foundation of a pyramid of knowledge for every other MOOC out there. You might have known some content subconsciously but here you have it backed with science. High five! Thank You Barbara Oakley! Спасибо)

The course is excellent. Both lecturer are really careful when selecting the topic, and they use simple and easy ways to make students understand the key points. By having tests, students can review and remember most of the lecture. Thanks so much!

Yes, I am the boyfriend. It is true! :P
