All the things that are mentioned in the course are helpful for anyone who want to learn new skills effectively, who thinks that they don't have what it takes to learn any difficult subjects. I wish I knew these teachings before when I was school or college, but now I know it and I'm certainly gonna take it in use. Do give it a try, you won't regret it.

This course is really good. It explains how our brain works, how we can deal with procrastination, how to change a habit, what happens in our brains when we learn something new, what we should do to really learn and what to avoid.

I highly recommend this course for everybody who wants to understand how our brain works and how we can develop ourselves. :)

This was an eye opening course for me. I learned a lot of new tools and concepts and a whole new way to approach learning. I wish this had been available to me when I was a student but I feel it has tremendous value for anyone who wants to learn something new. The instructors were great and presented the material in an easy to understand and fun way.

This course has been immensely useful in identifying the mistakes I was making in learning new things. I have been able to understand why even after putting in a lot of effort my grasp of concepts remained brittle and prone to be forgotten when recalling after some time. This is a must take course for anyone who like me is struggling to master concepts.

Well, this was the first MOOC I've ever completed. The course has provided a tremendous amount of knowledge. It has given a deep understanding of some of the issues related my learning problems. The material was designed with the help of highly professionals in the field of education and learning. I really appreciate the efforts made by Coursera Team.

This course was a great combination of understanding how the human brain works and different techniques to actually improve ones learning abilities by studying more effectively. The material was presented in a really positive way and created a lot of motivation to pursue ones dreams and view studying from a different, much less frustrating perspective.

El curso es grandioso! Me ha dado valiosas herramientas que podré usar ahora y en el futuro para aprender correctamente cualquier materia que desee.

Sin duda, fue un curso intenso.

Pude darme cuenta de lo equivocado que estuve durante años respecto al enfoque que usaba para abordar temas difíciles, en cierto modo este curso me ha ayudado a "despertar".

The course is structured to help students retain what they have learnt, i.e. they do what they preach. I learnt many new ideas and understood some of the science behind advice I have previously received about learning. I recommend this course to anybody unfamiliar with learning how to learn, even for those who already have a strong academic record.

Отличный курс, буду рекомендовать его всем. Мне кажется такое должны проходить в школе, я очень рад что прошел его. Я уверен что это поможет мне в жизни. Полученные знания начали реально помогать мне уже в ходе прохождения курса. Единственное что расстроило - плохой перевод на русский из-за этого иногда трудно воспринимать информацию и проходить тесты.

Excellent course! I was discouraged and burnt out from my past profession, and wasn't sure what changes to make and how to make those necessary changes in my life. This course has been so encouraging, enlightening and motivating that is helping me face my challenges and hopefully to make positive changes in the near future. Thank you, Debbie and Terry!

It is an exceptional course that makes you understand the way your learn. You will learn truly tools to improve your learning process in any field! You will debunk how good is your actual method of learning and improve it once for all! Learning How to Learn will teach you with scientific proven methods. A valuable insight for those passionate to learn.

Great course on learning. In here, you will learn about how the brain works and with that knowledge, you'll learn to make the most efficient use of it. The instructors are good and the videos have a lot of visual aids to help. This is one of the first online courses I took and I believe I learned as much as if I was in a classroom with the instructors.

It has been a long time since doing any sort of online learning/ training and this was the perfect start back into it. Barbara and Terrence perfectly breakdown segments of information and make the learning process seem more understandable and manageable. I can't wait to take the skills I have learned in this course to make the most out of the next one!

This course was eye opening in terms of giving more new tools to utilize as I finish my last semester and take this new found knowledge into my daily job. Some of the techniques I had already learned on my own but most of them were very new to me! I definitely think this is a worth while course, if you have the time please I insist you try and take it!

A lot of people mention that they don't remember the things in high school due to the fact that they just purely relied on memorization. This course is essential to learning information to prepare you for future courses and life tasks. Stop relying on memorization and start recalling the information and putting your knowledge through quizzes and tests.

The class was well paced well and interesting. I developed skills that I wish I had learned in high school :-). I gained great insight into how we learn and was able to apply what I learned everyday. I found myself constantly sharing the information and tips I learned with family and friends and really getting excited while talking about the course.

Hello, I met here some extraordinary people. The course was very exciting, intriguing and remarcable concise. As a lecturer (with a degree in Civil Engineering) I found this course very useful for my futures lessons, the way of learning that is taught here is fitting like a glove. I feel that I have improved my way of thinking and I thank you for that.

I learned many new techniques on how to effectively learn new things, the Pomodoro technique, recall practice, using metaphor and analogies, team learning, and many others. These can also be used to retain and better understand already learned material. I would highly recommend this course to anyone and will be sharing it with my family and friends.

One of the best courses on the internet. They should teach a simplified version of this from grade 1. If we somehow manage to include the topics mentioned in this course for kids, I truly believe we will be able to change the lives of everyone on the planet. If we are lucky we will also be able to save the planet before we reach the point of no return.

Oakley (with support from other researchers) provides some handy study tools in this healthy guide to good study habits. The lectures are accessible to any learning level---middle-schoolers to graduate students. The lectures and quizzes reinforce material from her book. Highly recommended for everybody who wants to get the most out of their study time.

I wish I had this course before I started college. I'm pretty sure at one point or another I did everything exactly opposite of what this course teaches. I often crammed, did not study effectively, and definitely fooled myself on multiple occasions of thinking I understood material.

Everyone who is serious about learning better should take this course.

This course has taught me the key points and methods to improve the learning processes more effectively and efficiency. There are plenty of helpful hits, skills and strategies for gaining better performance in the my study processes. Now I have more understanding the factors of successfully learning and being more concentrate in new things learning.

Excellent ... my knowledge on this topic has grown significantly, it has a logical thread, and have done significant work to make it fun ...

Excelente...mi conocimiento sobre este tema ha crecido de forma importante, tiene un hilo conductor lógico, y han hecho un trabajo importante en hacerlo divertido...

gracias totales!!

Exceptional course. The knowledge you will gain from this course will serve you for your entire life. Honestly I wish I had known about this course sooner in my life. Definitely recommend to anyone from any background and at any age. I guarantee you will learn something that will be incredibly beneficial to you if you ever have to learn something new.

this course helped me to better understand the basic tools i need to learn and how to better myself through learning.Barbara is one of the best teachers i had and her life story just motivated me to try and learn new aspects or subjects that i didn't think or wasn't confident enough that i can learn or even understand (besides engineering).Thank a lot
