Great course for 3 reasons..

1- learn how the mind works teaches you a lot about how to control it and control its impulses that prevent you from learning

2- actual teqhniques and tips that can help you control and enhance your focus and learning in measurable ways

3 these techniques not only are good for learning but great as overall life skills like time management and better thinking.

The course is well structured and very well exposed. I found it easy to follow, even if the majority of the topics were new to me. The course gives a clear understanding of a correct learning method and what are the most common errors to avoid. I also found interesting suggestions about memorization techniques, like flash cards and the memory palace that I'm willing to adopt soon.

Of many things that life is about,it surely is about learning.This course is a must;no matter what discipline you are majorly from.It will help you to become a more efficient learner given that you work on the concepts,techniques mentioned.

The way it has been presented only makes it more interesting,with humour,animations and interesting things.I enjoyed it very much.

Do give it a try!!

I am telling everyone I meet to do this course. No matter where you are on life you should do this course if you are planning on learning. The course is well laid out. You change your habits as you learn about learning. I wish I had lecturers like Barbara Oakey and Terry S. When I was getting my initial education and its just amazing that I get get access to tho sort of lecture online.

This course is very interesting for me. Although some techniques in this course such as Pomodoro is slightly popular, the instructors introduce some unusual other useful methods for learning. This course also provides some additional facts about brain. I really think I should seriously focus on my learning journey after this course. Many thanks for course team for outstanding products

Curso simplesmente incrível. Me abriu portas para entender ainda mais que nosso potencial de aprendizado é realmente ilimitado, principalmente utilizando técnicas sensacionais estudadas e testadas por tantos cientistas maravilhosos. Amei o curso e vou indicar a outros, pois no meu ponto de vista, esse tipo de educação deveria ser passado aos alunos desde seus primeiros anos na escola.

This course has helped me a great deal to start punishing myself by studying on the same week of the exam and being sleep-deprived by the time I have to do my test. It has been a pleasure to learn all of the tips and tricks this course offers and I will surely learn from it, spread the word, and make this knowledge helpful for my future students when I become a professor! Thank you!!!

I came to know about this course from the book actually.I have already started making changes to the way I learn.There are some tips that are really helpful and I started implementing them right away.The claims in the course are supported with appropriate research papers.The teaching assistants replied to my doubts and queries immediately.Overall I'm highly satisfied with this course.

I love the learning techniques provided by course instructors. The course helped me to change my intuition about learning by setting good videos, documents, assignments, and quiz. It gives valuable lessons on how our brain/neural network function in the perspective of understanding and learning. It is one of the best course which I have learned and will keep on learning in the future.

Best Course ever! I wish I had taken this when I was in the 6th grade! I wish it was given to me every year to remind me. this is the best course I have ever taken. Because Now I can apply it to everything.And now my learning has accelerated. It explains how the brain works. In understanding this you can retain way more than you ever could before. That is important with all that I do.

This course is so applicable and practical for day-to-day learning and sharing :) In fact, it is so infectious that I have since shared the strategies/tips with my family and close friends; and introduced them to sign up for this MOOC via Coursera. Thank you very much for this awesome learning opportunity. Very grateful for the resources and sharing! Looking forward to my next MOOC :)

I completed this course and wrote a review earlier. But today, a realization hit me. We no longer can make excuses like "We do not have good teachers". There are plenty of high quality resources available online for free. But we need to learn the principles of self-teaching first. This is why courses like this one is so valuable. I am going to go over the course material again now :)

After deciding to return to university after 27 years away, I knew I would have to overcome some terrible study habits. I took a chance on this course, and it not only helped me learn better study habits, but it also helped me battle procrastination (my old friend) in other parts of my life. I will remember the lessons from this course forever, and will share it with my own students.

This is not just a course however it is a new perspective of learning with fun and also i would say that here they don't change YOU, they only change your habits which hinders your performances. It is a must course which everybody should step up for. Thank you so very much to the entire team and my heartfelt thanks to both the professors Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski.

This is so far the best course I have ever attended in Coursera. The presentations of the instructors are very attractive and it is a pleasure to watch the videos. I got very different insights after listening to the course. Love Barbara's story ---- it provides me the courage to do something that I think I don't have talent at. I will definitely recommend this course to my friends.

It is quite useful a course cause it mentiones me part of the mistakes I made unawarely during my study and teaches me a lot of unusual learning techniques. The instructors use metaphor and anologies to help us understand the concepts and theories more actively and efficiently.

Thanks to the teachers, I gain more confidence in learning and challenging difficult subjects now.

I learned a lot from this class. This is not only a class that give you a right way to learning, handle your procrastination, the secret of memory, but also show you the scientific evidence. If a scientist tell me that the procrastination is not a big deal, I will believe that more than just somebody tell me. Also, this class gave me the passion and confidence to learn something new.

I only wish this course had been available when I was in high school - 50 years ago. My son, now 27, also took this course and we recently spent some time discussing it and appreciating it.

It is not only what is taught in this course but how it is taught. The material is made accessible, memorable, and enriching by Drs. Oakley and Sejnowski.

Thank you for it, --Peter Jackson, Arizona

This is a class that everyone should take. It applies not only on tests for students but furthermore, for everyone who wishes to learn continuously throughout his/her life time (any subject). It helps tremendously knowing that there are techniques that you can exercise and practice in order to enrich the learning experience, and most vitally, absorbing and remembering what you learn.

This course helped me a lot. By the end of the class I was remembering the concepts being taught to me in the class better by employing the techniques I learned in the class. It game me a lot of confidence that it was working. Before this class I thought I wasn't as good at learning as I was when I was younger but now I see that I just wasn't using the proper learning techinque.

This course has been very helpful to me. I learned a lot of very interesting teaching methods. I really liked the style of presentation of Barbara Oakley and Mr. Terrence Sejnowski. I am very grateful to them. I use the knowledge gained in my work with students. I do not know English very well, but I was able to take the course with the help of a translator, it raised my self-esteem

Learning How to Learn has been a tremendously interesting adventure! Although my university days are behind me, I learned a lot that I can use in my professional life. Moreover, the course reaffirmed good learning habits that I picked up in the past. The material is explained very well and the additional Honors assignment were a fun exercise in consolidating the material in my mind.

Really this course gave me a new insight about learning art. After started incorporating those techniques, feeling myself new wrt learning. Though it is taking quite time & discipline, but still the techniques really works very well. Hope by continuing this forever, let me revamp myself going forward swiftly. I suggest everyone to take up this course. Thanks to the Instructors.

Super efficient for me. When my friend recommended me to take this course, I failed the exam several times. However I still did not reflect back on my study method, and I even ignored his advice to take the course. At that time, I believed in myself that, studying longer hours will only lead to success, which is absolutely not. Now I am super thankful to my friend. Thank you Sergey!

This course is really valuable, every student in the world must follow it, because education is the only key to make our brain grow up. Sometimes we feel we cannot learn something in life, but with this kind of tools shown during the course, any people can get it. If we understand our brain, our own process of learning, among others, our lives could change for better. Thanks a lot!!
