An incredibly explorative and fun course! The professors teaching really know what they're talking about and don't just teach you the theories behind how the brain works on learning, but also what to do with this knowledge: how to implement it. The presentations are very illustrative and thereby help you to further understand the material. I enjoyed it very much. It is a MOOC like no other!

Superb content. Presented well and easy to follow. At first, I thought the production was low quality and lacking. Then, in the Mindshift course, I went into Barb's basement and found out that this was all DIY and she learned how to do video editing just for the course. Sometimes it is not how fancy something looks, but how useful the content is and the material presented here is essential!

This course was really great!!! It helped me a lot to study in a better way for my exams, I learned a lot of new techniques to be a better student and it was no complex at all, it was really easy for someone who isn't an English native speaker who knows nothing about the brain, so in conclusion I would really recommend this course for someone who is interested in becoming a better learner!

This course is amazing, i got so much than i expected from the course. it is as applicable to life as it applicable to studies in school. while taking the course i read some books and materials recommended by the course, you can say i practiced my own "interleaving" but it has really changed my life. It is definitely the best course i took this year. Thanks Barbara Oakley and Dr Sejnowski.

As a student still in university, I wished I would've taken this course before I graduated in high school. I always thought bright people in my class simply had the gifts to ace an examination, but it was a myth after all. This course has been an eye-opener to me as a person who always strives to learn. It has motivated me to question my ways of learning. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Thank you for this course! As someone going back to school for computer science, tools like this are so incredibly helpful and I am already implementing some of these strategies with great success. Dr. Oakley is also very inspiring to me as someone who discovered a love for math past high school. I am very excited to continue my lifelong journey of learning feeling more prepared than ever.

I was very pleased with this course. It was a great entry level, first course on coursera, type of learning experience that would propel you forward with a better understanding of the learning process. This course successfully provides you with the tools that you need to succeed within your academic endeavors and fortifies ambition as well as confidence that may be used for any curriculum!

This course proves to be a stepping stone on the journey you are about to embark regardless of your area of interest.

I sincerely thank the instructors, Prof. Barbara Oakley and Prof. Terrence Sejnowsky, for their time and efforts in creating a comprehensive and a thorough content for all learners.

Kudos to the Coursera community for providing an engaging platform to its users.

Thank you

I found it very useful. The only regret is that I wish I knew about these mental tools earlier in my academic life. But I am glad that I took it now and will use newly acquired knowledge further in my life! The course looks simple but don't be fooled by that. I am sure even experienced learners will find something new and useful. Big thanks to the creators of this course. You are amazing!

I recommend this course without reservation to everyone I meet. It has been one of the most transformative courses of my life. I'm a terrible procrastinator, and I've never yet had any of those self-help tips, books, apps, etc that worked. This course is the one thing that has me going steadily along the right track. Understanding the learning process is key to taking full advantage of it.

I would recommend this to everyone who wants to discover the right ways to study, memories and practice new material that you are trying to learn. Absolutely brilliant course with lots of explanations and details on the process of how your brain works/operates. Knowing this, you can take advantage and use it to your benefit to study much more efficiently. I have learned so much. Thank you!

This is one of the best courses on Coursera. I would strongly recommend this to all those who want to learn anything. I was already enrolled in a course and was quite afraid of failure as I was studying after a very long time. This course gave me the confidence and the skill to learn anything. Now I want to learn programming and I am sure I will succeed. Thanks a lot Prof. Barbara Oakley.

Very dynamic and didactic. The way Dr. BArbara Oakley and Dr. Sejnowsky developed this important course for us students also applies many interesting ways of understanding in a more natural way as well as clear explanation of the methods on how to get a better approach when we are trying to learn something.

Its a universal course every student should take to start a very successful career.

The course is really informative and has enhanced my learning. It is abundant of resources which have helped me boost my knowledge. The interviews of some of the great personalities have increased learning. Also the lessons given by Professor Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski are wonderful. I have come to know about all my mistakes and methods to improve them.

Thank you very much.

Wish I learn everything from this course when I was younger and still in school. BUT IT IS NEVER TOO LATE! Thank you very much for all the valuable learning techniques from this course. I have applied a few techniques into my every day life and has found amazing results. Great course. Everyone who hasn't done this course yet, please participate in it and do the questions and assignments!

This course is a must have for students of all ages. Learning how to learn explores how your brain works in an easy to understand video format, chunks information into small doable tasks, and teaches you how to prepare versus procrastinate on larger tasks (tests, essays, ect.).

I enjoyed the extra resources that the professors included as bonus material to expand my learning.

Thank you!

I loved this course. There were so many new concepts on how to learn that I did not previously know about. Yet, the presentation was so simple and easy to understand. I believe anyone who wishes to be an infinite learner would greatly benefit from taking this course. I recommend that parents, teachers and students alike should consider taking this course. Thank you so much, Team Coursera!

Recommended to everyone for completing this course. This course provides wonderful techniques, which I thought was miracles during my graduate degree tests was actually some powerful tools that help us to learn new ideas and skills more effectively and reinforce to our permanent memory.

Thank you, Prof. Barbara Oakley, for providing us with such a phenomenal course. Love from Kerala, India

Great course! Dr Oakley not only clearly explained the concepts of learning in this course, but more importantly she taught us techniques that could be easily put into practice. I am trying to turn some of the ideas I learned from this course into habits (just like Dr Oakley said, "Practice makes permanent."). I highly recommend this course to those who try to be a more effective learner.

This was my first course on Coursera and I have to say it was amazing. The course material was delivered at a steady pace so that no one finds difficult to catch up. Itàs a perfect course for any beginner thinking to start their MOOC journey.I have learned a lot from this course, the instructors were really good, I enjoyed listening to them and looking forward to taking many more courses.

I would highly recommend this course to almost all people. It helps you to learn the new techniques and also helps you to find out the flaws you are currently bearing unknowingly. I will definitely implement the strategies and methods that I have learned in this course. Thank you so much to Dr. Barbara Oakley Mam, Dr. Sejnowski Sir, and the whole Coursera Team for this wonderful course.

This is really an useful course. Understanding the concepts of learning in turns helps in learning something new. The concepts explained in this course are simple, pictorial, easy to understand and easy to relate. Im feeling good about taking this course. Sincere thanks to Dr.Barbara Oakley & Terrence Sejnowsk taking this initiative. This course will have good impact on the lives of many.

МЫ получаем знания в школе, институте, повышаем профессиональный уровень, сдаем экзамены и помогаем учиться своим детям. У нас есть понимание процесса - прочитал, порешал, сдал. Курс дает методики, как сделать обучение эффективней, запоминать, готовиться, вспоминать и воплощать знания. Безусловно полезен в оптимизации процесса обучения. "Лучше день потерять, потом за пять минут долететь."

Большое спасибо, Барбара Оукли и професор Сейновски, за ваш огромный труд и действенные методы по работе со своим мозгом. Я очень признателен вам за то, что абсолютно бесплатно вы учите всю планету правильно пользоваться памятью, бороться с прокрастинацией, показываете важность сна, регулярных практических занятий, физических упражнений и многое многое другое... Курс советую пройти всем

This course is really helpful. It helped to look at the things I was doing wrong in my learning process. It gave me an insight on how brain works. The course taught me the importance of sleep and taking breaks in between while studying. The most important teaching I will always remember from this course is that anyone can learn anything, you need not be a genius to learn something new.
