Concise yet superb teaching from the experts about learning how to learn. Highly recommended to all ages! Well, I'm proud to say that I'm currently applying some of the techniques in studying taught in this course like pomodoro and diffuse mode of thinking. This course makes you aware of your own learning strengths and weaknesses. But at the end of the day, as Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski said, we are all in the driver's seat of our learning.

Amazing course. Videos very well done, easy to grasp all concepts (not because I'm smart but because the instructors are), charming, warm, kind, fun and extraordinarily knowledgeable instructors. This is very important knowledge taught with total mastery of the subject.

This course should really be compulsory reading for schools all over the world! I can't thank the instructors enough, I learned so much and they are both such a joy to watch!

A very useful study. For some time I was looking for a way to overcome procrastination, change my habits, including mental habits, and during the course I found the best solutions that worked right away. Everyone should complete the "Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects" course. The course is well prepared and led by the best teachers Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski. Thank you very much.

It was fun doing this course. I am now known to new techniques of learning. It is amazing and I have enjoyed it. I learnt many techniques to be applied for better learning and I will continue to do so further when I am learning. Thanks to Dr.Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for such a great guidance and for being wonderful instructors! I am happy to learn more from you. And yes happy after doing such an interesting course. Thank you!

This course has been an eye-opener...the research behind brain science, memory types and how we can get smarter in the way we learn, is impressive. Importantly, the concepts are relevant and applicable in our daily work, both as students and as professionals.

I highly recommend this course to everyone who is looking to improve their learning abilities. I wish I had understood these concepts much earlier in life...however, it's never too late!!

As taught in this course its not about getting excited about new ideas , its about how we implement it in our life . I have got scientific explanations for many of my doubts regarding learning , memory and habits. I really loved the course and its recommended to everyone regardless of age and profession and field of their interest. I like definitely apply the learned techniques into my day today life and hope i will make me a better learner .

I was really happy that I took this course. I made me see areas where I could improve my learning as well as provide me with new ideas that would help me in learning. It also showed me that I have two different modes of thinking, and the functions of each. I recognised how important it is to give each a chance in the learning process. All in all, a very informative and excellent course! Thank you for helping me learn how to learn even better.

Thank You! Barbara Oakley, Dr. Terry Senjowski and the whole team for this wonderful course. I truly have learned much much beautiful techniques about learning that I had not heard before. Again, Thank you!

This course is so fundamental to education that we should teach it to students in 4th grade. It would make a difference to our collective knowledge base. I think every college freshman would benefit by taking this course in the first semester. It was well designed and practiced the skills it taught - spaced repetition, recall, testing for example. The extra reading resources were excellent and enhanced and reinforced what the course offered.

This is an excellent course for anyone to complete. Prior taking this course, I was hesitant since these topics have been preached to students for a million times. Yet I decided to go for it. To my amazement, its really been a life changing course.

I would like to thank professor Oakley and professor Sejnowski for explaining the material in a simple and effective way, not only highlighting the challenges but also providing solutions for them.

This course will help me in a lot of ways. I realized a lot of things that I have been doing the past days were just simply wrong. I didn't have a remarkable change in my daily routine on what I was doing as I finished the course yesterday. I am sure slowly slowly I will change my habits and I will learn faster and retain more information in long term.

Thank you Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrence for helping me out and lot of other people out there

This course was incredible. I learned so many useful, practical ways to improve my learning. Both professors did a great job communicating their content in ways that were interesting and informative. I especially liked the addition of the interviews. Having the honors assignments challenged me even further. I'm going to teach these skills to my students now. Please sign up for this class right now. You cannot afford to wait any longer

An incredible course! I advice it to EVERYONE: not only for students, but to everybody wanting to improve his/her memory skills, ability to fight procrastination and concentrate on whatever you are doing at a speific moment.

The lecturers are the nicest professors I've ever seen in my life! I really would like to meet them and to thank for the work they do. Barb and Terry - you are my love, indeed!

Good luck and happy learning how to learn!

What a great course! I can recommend this course 100% to everyone who is interested in learning how to learn! In times of the current lockdown it was one of the best things i choosed to preserve my mental health! Thx!

Was für ein fantastischer Kurs! Ich kann diesen jedem zu 100% empfehlen, wer mehr über das Thema "Lernen wie zu lernen" erfahren möchte. Ein wirklich gutes Verständnis der englischen Sprache ist hierfür jedoch sehr vorteilhaft!

I am a working professional, not in academia. As an individual who believes in "life-long learning", I found the information and strategies in this course to be broadly applicable to life in general. The session on dealing with procrastination (focusing on process over product) was particularly eye-opening for me. I also found the discussions on how the brain works in relation to learning and memory to be highly beneficial. Great course!

It's a good topic of all like: - student,reader and public speaker and any body who want to learn the learning process.

Thank You,

This is a very practical course, in which the instructors not only teach about the theory behind learning but also provide pragmatic techniques to help you foster your own learning. Personally, I find both of the instructors a bit awkward, but in a very cute way. Also, they don't just talk the talk, they also walk the walk. Very inspiring and enlightening course to talk for anyone who is interested in improving their own learning abilities!

Amazing course!! I can't wait to try and put it to practice with the new academic year.

My only regret is that a lot of the topics talk about "problem solving" and I'm still a little unclear as to what to do when what you're studying has seemingly nothing to do but is mostly about trying to remember facts, and dates, and definitions.

I guess I'll have to get started and see how I can apply the techniques of this course in my new student life!

Wonderful instructors, truly engaging course! Learning How to Learn has given me a new confidence in pursuing and mastering quantitative subjects necessary for me to secure the career in healthcare that I have always dreamed about, but was never sure about. I've already seen amazing results with my current science courses and will be sure to use and share the techniques highlighted in the course throughout the rest of my life. Thank you!

Excellent course about learning methods that can easily be worked with during ones learning projects. The overall course is very motivating and the way of presentation by Dr. Oakley as well as her co-presentors is done in a very comprehensive and illustrative way. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is interested in learning new things in a very efficient and long-term way.

Many thanks for providing this great online course!!

I really enjoyed Learning How to Learn. It was full of great strategies and has helped me pass a demanding professional exam that i had been struggling with for the previous three years.I have purchased the companion book for this course, and even the children's version by Dr Oakley, to have a refference of the matrerial and to share this with my own children.I will continue to follow the work of Dr. Barbara Oakley & Dr. Terrence Sejnowski

This is an excellent course on how humans learn and retain information. I think this should be essential learning for every student. It has changed how I approach learning and I find new skills to practice every week throughout the course.Take some time to go through the course and learn how you can more effectively retain information. I found it to be extremely helpful in my life of learning and it has changed the way I approach learning.

I appreciate the opportunity to take this course as it will help me a lot when I study my other courses and it will help me in my general life too.

In this course I've learned lots of things about how to learn, how to memorize the information that I learned, how my brain works and how to use my brain to learn with more efficient.You guys really should take this course if you want to be more efficient and productive in school or university.

Very easy is to understand the course. I plan to review it in the future because I believe the course has timeless lessons. Because the brain is built in a certain way I don't expect it to change in my lifetime. I believe learning is a lifetime skill and the basics should be mastered. Whatever the new subject is the beginning of learning tends to be similar to something you learned in the past. I highly recommend the MOOC. Happy learning!

The class was different from what I expected. I love how sourced the individual videos were. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone taking this course to take it slowly and do notes video by video. Only one thing I saw weird was the small typos and inconsistency in the notes format! It didn't really matter much in terms of the content, the only thing that could be improved from a simple point of view is that because the content is impeccable.
