I did this course alongside 22 of my students, who were enrolled in a special course on learning how to learn, and we have all benefited so much. I especially enjoyed the readings, and my students were totally engaged!! Great course!

I love this course. It is engaging, fun, interesting, I have already learned techniques I am using daily and I've only done the first class. The presenter Barb is wonderful. I am really impressed and grateful to be doing this course.

This is such a great course to help you unpack the mind. Dr. Barbara Oakley's lectures are very easy to follow along. She presents material in a way that's really approachable and easy to digest. I would highly recommend this course!

Professor Oakley's videos are engaging and the tips for developing better work and study habits and learning more efficiently are invaluable. I will definitely refer back to the tips from this video as I work and study in the future.

If you thought you had your studying techniques nailed, this course may yet prove you wrong.

A wonderfully structured and presented course that can benefit practically anyone.

If you only had time to take one course, it should be this.

This course provides useful learning techniques and interesting neuroscience explanations for the way we learn. The video lectures are objective, short and very amusing, making it easy for students to follow the course appropriately.

Very nice and useful course, providing simple and concrete learning techniques while explaining how they relate to the brain functions.

Lots of interesting online references too: blog postings, articles, websites...

I really enjoyed it

Barbara and Terrance were excellent presenters with deep knowledge of the topic and extremely clear presentation skills. I've purchased Barbara's book and read many of Terry's papers. Thank-you for an excellent Coursera.org course!

Very good course in helping me better understand how the human brain works in learning new things. I have learned several new skills that I plan to put into action. Dr. Oakley does a great job of making a difficult topic easy to un

Really enjoyed this course and found there was lots of useful information, tips and tricks. Would highly recommend for anyone who struggles with procrastination, methods of learning or who just wants to find out how we actual learn.

It was extremely meaningful and iluminating regarding things such as study techniques, memory, the process of learning, etc. I am thankful for taking the course and certainly was helpful for my development as a student and learner.

its agreat way to have a new perspective on learning what works and what not, it really is a great tool for learning and helping one to understand better any topic one decides to focus on or just a nice and easy way to learn things

blow my mind ! i used to think that i have a problem with my brain and the fact was that my brain dont come with intructions manuals, so i never know how to study correctly and i been doing wrong all the time

A live changing course

Great course. This course should be the part of curriculum in schools. I am a working professional of 37 years and I have learnt lot of things from this course, which can be implemented in your day today learning process. Thank you

A very useful course - not only for the techniques it offers, but for shining a light on procrastination and how it affects how we study and learn (or not). Very insightful, there's not excuse for not being able to move forward now.

This course taught me a lot of valuable things I started using in my day-to-day life to help learn new subjects I am interested in and helped me tackle procrastination. I highly recommend taking it if you haven't already! It's free!

I absolutely loved this course. The videos were short and interesting and the techniques described were useful in daily life. The videos were clear, concise, and captivating making the overall class an enjoyable learning experience.

When I suspended a session for resuming it on the next day, it was not easy to find the right point (position) where I had stopped. Some parts of the course (especially the initial ones) should be shortened and made more schematic.

I just start to learn online with coursera and this course is my first course in here. it was a wonderful experiance. i really get a lot of benefits through this course thanks a lot for giving us this opportunity

Thank you coursera.

This course is awesome and should be compulsory to take for all school students! It really has the potential to transform education. We really need to stop focusing on learning stuff and instead focus on learning how to learn stuff.

The tips and insights taught are not gimmicks based on fads or the personal beliefs of the instructors. You will acquire scientifically grounded awareness of how your brain works and become more able to harness your full potential.

O curso é excelente, aprendi muitas técnicas sobre como melhorar minha aprendizagem. E os desafios que temos ao aprender um conteúdo novo, porém com o curso agora compreendendo como enfrentar e vencer esses desafios. Muito obrigado!

This is a great course, it's so mind-opening and inspirational but all the methods introduced by this course are practical. I would recommend to my family and friends. I sincere appreciate the professors' generosity in offering the

Spend a few hours a week and learn something new. I found I was familiar with many of the techniques but still learned a few tips and it was also a good review.

Great course if you are planning to study again later in your career.
