Learning How To Learn is a great course to start your Coursera journey. Extensive information on how to learn in easy bite-sized videos that make it easy to keep up the weekly deadlines. The instructors cover a lot of basic learning skills. I wish I had taken this course before I graduated. It would've made it much easier how to learn. Compliments to the team.

Realmente a internet é um mar de possibilidades, tornando possível assistir as aulas dos excelentes Professores da Universidade da Califórnia, San Diego, e beber de uma fonte enebriante de conhecimento. O curso certamente representa um divisor de águas para minha vida pessoal e profissional, e pretendo fazer todos quantos eu for capaz de assistir e dedicar-me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this courses. The lectures were insightful and well presented. I am currently employing some of the techniques that I have learned. I struggle with procrastination, and the idea of focusing on the process and not the product is helping me to get tasks completed, when I previously procrastinated. I think every student should do this course.

Fantastic course, for me the first one at Coursera and it was definitely more valuable than I expected. They not only give you insights of learning and several functions of the brain, they also give you concreet tools to use right away.

I am sure all the things I have learned in this course are applicable for every one, despite age or background.

This is an excellent course. I was having difficulty controlling procrastination and my academic performance was terrible before this course. But now even though I haven't finished yet, I'm able to control procrastination and my productivity soared and it has in turn increased my self-confidence. A million thanks to all those involved in preparing this course!

I must say that at first I did not think this course would be of much help, but I am sooooo happy and proud to say I was wrong. This course should honestly be a mandatory course for High Schoolers and up. Great job by the two professors, you guys really put learning into a new perspective for me & truly assisted in making me a better learner. Thank you again!

This course was perfect! I have learned lots of useful tools about how to get better in learning the material! I have learned also more about my brain functions and how to improve myself in order to succeed in a test and to keep in mind that the better preperation I have, the more self-confident I will be! Thanks to Dr Barbara Okley and Dr Terrencr Sejnowski!

Brilliant, both the lecturers were very engaging and teaching the subject with passion. Now I realize that I should have done this course 20 years before. But having said, I am fortunate to come across this material and do the course. I love it and strongly recommend to young learners and of course all levels and age of learners. Keep learning - How to Learn.

Great introduction into getting back into the studying and learning mode. I have been out of school for over 25 years. This course has shown me what steps, skills and methods I need to apply to allow me to start learning again. It corrected alot of my bad habits and showed me what I was doing wrong. I wish I would have had this course in my high school years.

this course has changed my view on "Learning". The tools, the techniques, the methods are given by Professor Terrence Sejnowski and Barbara Oakley are so effective that I could see the difference in my approach to a subject within days of enrolling myself in the course. Now I am able to approach a new subject with a new perspective and think "out of the Box"

This is arguably the most important course in our modern day where self-learning is necessary to keep up and adapt to all the changes taking place. This course will give you clarity on your learning abilities and guide you in transforming how you approach learning. Very grateful to both Dr. Oakley & Dr. Sejnowski and all their guests for the amazing insights.

I enjoyed the class so much, I purchased Dr. Oakley's book and signed onto the follow-up course! In this course, I discovered key ways the mind works in relation to learning and how to use those aspects to my advantage. I'm no stranger to learning, but it was revealing to discover how to learn in better, more efficient ways than I have in the past. Thank you!

It was quite an interesting endeavor going through this course with all the neurological and psychological insights about learning process , how to tackle procrastination , good study habits , and other mental tools that worked well for me , If you struggle keeping your mind on the material you try to master I highly recommend this course . " Happy Learning "

I've learned a lot from this course. After I took this course I found out that I was using wrong way to study in the entire college life. But now I can use the new technique to recall what I have learned before and sth new in the future. Thanks to professor Barbara Oakley. She has change my learning method and attitude toward new thing in the rest of my life.

I am approaching the end of PhD study. But I still think this is the best course I ever take in my life. I think it completely changed my life. Thanks so very much for sharing such important knowledge! I wish I had this class 10 years ago. It would definitely make my student career easier. However, it is still not too late. I highly recommend it to everyone.

This incredible course provides a glimpse into the neurological processes that take place when learning something new, and offers many effective strategies that can be used to become a better learner. As both a student and an educator, I feel like the knowledge I have gained through Barbara and Terry's lectures will be very useful to me in my future pursuits.

I love every minute of it and I feel like I really analyse and learn something new. Huge thank you to the creators of the course and Barabara in paricular for beeing such an inspired and inspiring speaker. You are emazing! Thank you angain!

This course is excellent, it has really helped rewire my thoughts about learning. I am now confident that I can tackle any challenge that comes my way. I have not only learned how to tackle school related challenges, but challenges that relate to life in general, come what may, I am certainly equipped to triumph over life's challenges, thanks to this course!

This course has been a boon. It has solved the greatest mystery in a student's life :). We know what to study, our teachers tell us that this will be in the exam, they give us set questions. But no one teaches us how to study, how to read the textbook, how to efficiently use our time studying. How to get up and start studying. How to remember what you learn.

A really excellent course I learned new learning techniques with other educational methodologies that have to do with other teaching models. The course content clear and well explained. Interesting contributions from the people interviewed. I am changing my learning habits to improve in every aspect of my life. I LEARNED New habits in my learning. THANK YOU

Very insightful and totally worth it !! If you really want to become a better learner, this course is for you. The tips, techniques and methods presented in this course will definitely help and this is for everyone (not just students). Even professionals who always need to upgrade themselves with new technologies will highly benefit from this course equally.

This is a well designed course. The presentations of Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski are clear, precise and interesting. The tests and exercises help me further understand every main concept of learning how to learn. This course inspires me and reconfirms that everyone has the ability to learn new things when you use the right techniques. Thank you very much.

It's the first time i try to go through a mooc in English and it was very excinting ! Thanks for everything and good learning !! ;D
