This course is very important for every one need to learn more easy and effective as I am learned for more than 40 years ago but this course add more values to me to learning how to learn more easy; more effective; new techniques.

I learned how the brains works this help us to dealing with it.

This course add to me valuables life skills; So I thanks Dr. barabara Oakley and Dr. Rerrence Sejnowski very mush for good work.

Also I would thank Coursera for great helpful.

This course changed my life. Thank you for resurrecting my dreams so that fewer of them have to be wasted away because of procrastination, self-hatred, insecurity, forgetfulness, stubbornness, and fear.

As a soon-to-be college student, I could not have asked for a better pre-college summer. I am no longer nervous about school and I am ready to learn about anything. I'm also ready to take over the world!

You guys are amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Peter completed this course.

This is by far the best course I have ever taken. It solidifies and explains everything I've known about studying and provides a deeper (yet simple ) understanding of why we behave in certain ways and how we can improve our learning capability.

Barbara Oakley was especially great, she has a good and steady flow and method of explaining that makes it easy for one to understand.

This should be mandatory in every school and university!

Excellent!

This course should be not only like and optional instead more like a mandatory course at the beginning of the college or even earlier, things could be a lot more easier to do and one can be and feel better.

Right now I have finished my career in Computational engineering and I'm actually working in a big size company, I can tell you that with applying a few things that I missed and learned in this course I feel I did in a week, the work of whole month.

this is an amazing course that gives you such good techniques to help you go through a hard process called learning it helps you to see learning as an operation that you can take procedures to help you make it easier and I want to thank the professors and the staff behind the camera for their effort I recommend this course for anyone trying to learn anything and as it is mentioned in the course it is ok to take a step back and learn how to learn thank you again.

That was an awesome course to attend and I highly recommend it to those, who struggle with studies and need learning tips and trick. It is always difficult to make a first step, but when it is done there is a chance to see a light at the end of the tunnel. This course got me illuminated and broadened horizons in the process of learning. I will study hard and make my dream come true by passing the exam and getting other learning outcomes in different disciplines.

It was one of the best courses I've ever attended in my life. The explanations were so clear, even if English isn't my mother language. The professors made a wonderful work and were so kind, so so clear and friendly that I feel their passion for the topics and they were amazing in teaching me all of the things covered here, with lots of practical examples, advises to become a better student and not only, but also to train my brain and my memory to became better.

Great course with a lot of great tips and instruments on how to learn more effectively. Concept of two learning modes of our brain, chunks, repetition, einstallung, testing yourself, true understanding of the content, metaphors and analogies, on working and long-term memory, memory palace, zombie mode and procrastination, pomodoro technique, hard-start and easy jump, perseverance, deliberate practice, repetition, recalling and importance of discipline are great.

An excellent course to debunk the belief that if like me your not an institutional learner. All that's needed is the understanding of "How to Learn" and the correct process. These are ideas that have brought together things i thought i did right and things that i clearly did wrong like cramming for an exam.

This course has changed the way i look at learning and given me the belief and confidence to not only learn new topics but also enjoy the process of learning.

Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski discussed a lot of interesting things about the underlying concept of learning. They don't just tell you how to do the techniques, they make you understand why you should do the techniques, and in turn you'd find that they are very effective and helpful. The tests were like practical applications of the discussed concept. This course is very useful, i hope i have come across this sooner. Thank you Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

Feeling glad and happy. Did learn some new stuffs but did learn loads of new terms and theoretical insights within brain processing's. Thank you so much. Simply loved the session. It was great getting back to theoretical learning after a long break. Learning online was something i've always wanted for pretty long. Glad that finally got to it. Many thanx to everyone who made it possible including MDEC and my cousin who introduced it. Thank you. Have a great day.

One of the best trainings i have attended. Very well structured. Concise and excellent presentations. Lots of testing. Very interesting topics relating to the functioning of the brain that can affect our learning capacity. Number of useful tools to leverage on the brain´s nature and unleash our learning potential. Opportunity to learn by reviewing the work of other student. All this for 2 hours a week over 4 weeks. Plus a number of optional readings and videos.

I really loved this course. While I didn't go for the certification as I was searching for better ways to study, this course was quite wonderful. Barbara does a wonderful job at explaining things and I learned so much about my brain and study methods. This really helped me tackle things and improve my learning, especially as I was searching for such knowledge already for years. So if you're interested or challenged in learning, go for it, you won't lose time ;)

The course is very relevant to anyone who thinks learning is an ongoing process. It is very important to people who don't think so. The course brings to the forefront the basis of key issues in learning and also provides concrete techniques to help one learn better. It provides opportunity for the learner to reflect on his/her own problems and helps improve. Hearty thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terrace Sejnowski for helping me take my learning to the next level!

Отличный курс! Очень понравился. Хотя и возникли сложности. Английским языком почти не владею, смотрела с субтитрами. В целом все было понятно. Но очень сложно было сдавать тесты, так как на них перевода нет. Приходилось переводить самостоятельно, и часть смысла терялась при переводе. Поэтому страдало качество работы с тестами. Если есть возможность приложите файл с переводом тестов, так же как с субтитрами.

Большое спасибо создателям курса и успехов в работе.

It was a very interesting and instructive course. I learnt a lot about the brain, the way to study, how to avoid procrastination, how to prepare for a test, team work and methods of learning. In fact I suddenly find myself back to my old joyous way of attending to all my work in a day besides learning! I am now eager to restart my learning of Sanskrit and finish writing my novels. Both Dr.Terry and Barbara have prepared the course very well. I thank them a lot

I am very much grateful for this impeccable course. I have learned essential learning strategies that would help me to exceedingly go through tough subjects.

However, I am going to recommend this course to all those who are interested in deep learning and to my loved ones to enroll to this course.

I appreciate your wonderful job and generous effort to make us learn better and become avid life long learners. Especial thanks to DR. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Sejwnski.

This course was truly phenomenal! I don't normally take online courses, but the thorough work and research done by Barbara and Terry has really changed the course of my life at the current moment. It has improved my learning skills, but has also improved my confidence in my ability to be a better learner. I especially loved learning about Santiago Ramòn y Cajal, and found that story to be particularly inspiring. Excellent job to both of you, Barbara and Terry!

Good day to all, this is my first course with course era and also forst online course. To start with how to read and excel is excellent as it is common and most required at all stages of life as we keep on learning one or the other. This course helps to give some key takeaways like pomodoro technique, importance of night sleep before exam and also benefits of exercise that helps brain function.

Thanks to the team especially Barb.

Wishing you all most and more...

A very helpful course. Barbara is a very delightful instructor. I did also enjoy learning a bit about the brain in relation to learning from Dr. Terrell. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn more effectively and efficiently. There's a good number of learning techniques in this course. The Pomodoro technique is one technique that is so easy to do and yet so effective in stopping procrastination. That alone has made a huge difference. Thanks so much.

In this changing world, taking this course means changing your perspective towards learning. The instructors we're precise with what they have to render, they made the learning easy and informative. The course talks about various skills and methods for learning how to learn. They talk scientifically about the strategies which have been proved to be effective and productive for people. The best part is that it is practical.

Thank you for offering such a course.

A wonderful way of learning the scientific foundations of many useful learning techniques. With powerful examples, images and stories, Barbara and Terrence teach us what mechanisms are activated when we learn, which modes does our brain use to tackle with problems, how to improve our memory and how to overcome procrastination, among other contents. This course is fun, informative, useful and very easy to follow. Thanks for having put this boon to our disposal!

Antes de tomar este curso no me esperaba que fuese tan interesante y motivador. Mientras iba avanzando en el mismo, iba aplicando las herramientas o tips que aprendía, en el mismo curso. Este curso ha cambiado los objetivos que tenia en mi vida, y espero también cambiar los objetivos de otras personas, permitiendo les que ellos apliquen técnicas o consejos que serán mas efectivos en sus vidas personales. No tengo mas que decir que Gracias Learning How To Learn

For someone who wants to improve to become a better learner, this is the course you have to take. I learn many tips and tricks on how to learn better, what technique you can you use to tackle your deficiencies, and the motivating stories of others which encourage us that anyone can be a master at something, anyone. I hope I can re-watch the videos again, I would love to re-watch it again. Please. Thank you for the lesson. Looking forward to your other courses.

I find this course as very enriching one, with wonderful lectors! The information discussed down here brought me to many other different topics in conversation with friends, streghtened my knowledge base and motivated me to follow the path of finding new areas of knowledge!

I recommend this course to everyone who is opened to new ideas, new methods, new approaches and challenges! :)

Thank you very much for your efforts in creating this course! :) Good luck! :)
