I think it is good for some people, I mean i learned a lot about human brain in this course, but most of the "good advices" and techniques mentioned in videos were used by me subconciously, still would recommend for knowledge about human brain.

Instructor was very good in presenting the lessons. Information in the lessons were interesting; wanting me to keep going to the next lesson. The presentation brought an excitement that caused you to actually put the information into practice.

Easy to digest course. Many of those are just common sense things but nevertheless I've learned few new techniques which I hope will stay with me for my whole life and make learning (not in school anymore) better - for that I am giving 5 stars.

I believe everyone that is not familiar with the ideas in this course should take this. It is helpful for everything you do in life basically. It provides very practical tips and tricks while at the same time explaining the science behind them.

I had the possibilities to understand how our brain works while learning, absorbing, and handling information as well as knowledge of the matter. I am thankful to how the ability of chunking makes my learning skill easier and faster and before.

Worth every penny. All kidding aside, I found this refreshing, learned quite a few new techniques, and now have some ideas to discuss with colleagues at work. It is never too late to learn how to learn. -Professor of Internal Medicine, age >50.

Very interesting and useful in order to get more efficient in learning.
It was a pleasure to listen to Barbara and Terry, the way they give access to people like me (non professional at all in science) so much knowledge with facility.
Thank You !

For a newbie coursera student, "Learning How to Learn" is a great experience to start; course's itself is a key feature for the coursera; showing how to study for the other courses within the coursera, and for the life-long journey of learning.

I enjoyedd it and I had a chance to gain some new knowledge as I myself am an educator. It is an example of putting the knowledge into practice. Costruction of the course makes it easy to remember new things and frequently review the knowledge.
