A great, concise course on how to "hack your brain" to become a better learner.

If you are enrolled in any form of academic institution, the contents of this course are essential. And even if you are not in college or school at the moment, this class has excellent pointers on the whys and hows of life-long learning.

Highly recommended!

Almost done with this course. It is already helping me understand how to learn. Very useful practical information. I hope that this course will be opened up as an on demand. I would love to share it with others. I think this is knowledge that everyone should acquire. Thank you for taking time to make this course and offer it for free.

What a fantastic course! There were many things I found I had naturally did, without realizing they were optimal learning techniques - but there were plenty more techniques within the course that I wish I had learned sooner. Better late than never though. Dr. Barbara & Dr. Terry, thanks so much for putting this great course together!

I'm really get benefited from this course. The explanations and the lectures was smooth and understandable. I have got a key concepts and ideas that will help me a lot the future. Worthy to know that I will get back into this course again for two reasons: I love barabra oakly and to see the course with other perspective and thinking.

After a few years of knowing about this course and putting it off from time to time I finally buckled down all the way through! The initial anxiety went away and curiosity took it's place with each new concept, interview and article the professor provided, thank you so much for your teaching I hope to sharpen my newly aquired skills.

I wish I could have had this material taught to me before middle school or at least before high school. It would be great to include this course in the first semester of college. Everyone in the world should learn this, but mainly everyone dedicated to furthering their education should take this couse. It has powerful learning tools.

I think this class is well done. It is simply put together and simple is the fastest way forward. I applaud Barbara Oakley and look forward to reading her books and hearing more from her. I have shared what I have learned with my high school student and encourage high school, higher education and life students to take this course.

I am blessed for having the opportunity to study and participate in this Course. I am not the same students because I know I can do all things through Christ, I have learned many techniques I didn't know before, also gained knowledge of how my brain works, and I learn from so many interesting people and their testimonies.

Thank you!

I wish if I went through this course at the beginning of my University life. But no problem with that. I am sure this course has changed my way of learning. From now on I will learn more effectively and efficiently than earlier. I didn't actually know how sleep affects our learning. Thanks a lot to the instructors and coursera team.

Pienso que es un curso indispensable, motivante y entretenido, para las personas que gusten aprender y también deberia ser obligatorio en el primer semestre de cualquier carrera universitaria. Sería interesante hacer una adaptación para primaria, si es que no existe ya. Me divertí y sentí ganas de leer cada sugerencia. Muchas gracias

I learnt learning processes and new techniques that I will apply in the future. The video and concepts are very well explained by Barbara Oakley, the examples given were easy to understand and relate to.

The quizzes were helpful in recalling the information learnt, overall I recommend the course to those who never learnt how to learn!

This is a very informative course, introducing you to a bit of neuroscience to back the information with scientific evidences and it is introduced in a way everybody could understand. It is really a course I can recommend to everyone wanting to have more efficient ways of learning and looking for scientific backings for those habits.

This course is for anyone trying to learn a new skill set as well as improve ones current position in life in general. For anyone trying to jump start TRUE change in your life it takes HARD WORK and DEDICATION. The tools learnt in this course can be applied in any circumstance the question is are you willing to try them for yourself.

This course may have changed my life and how I learn for ever.

I'm very thankful to the creators and ppl that made it possible. This was my first MOOC but certainly not my last and I think it's a good set up for the courses to come.

Thank you for letting me learn how to learn (for free(!)) since german education doesn't teach you that.

The material presented in this class will benefit anyone who wants to understand and employ more effective strategies for acquiring new skills and knowledge. It also gives great insight into some of the common frustrations of learning, and explains where those frustrations are actually normal and needed parts of the learning process.

It is amazing course and too useful i love the team and i think it is very useful for all people in all areas and all ages .It really helpful and gives you a lot of thoughts and techniques that you can use to improve your thinking and your life !! . Thank you : Dr Barbra Oakley, Dr Terry and all of the Learning How to Learn Team.

This a great course that I wish I had taken years ago. A lot of insights into how our brain works as far as learning is concerned. This course would absolutely help me to study more effectively and efficiently. And it will, since I'm not planning to ever stop learning. I also liked the optional material sections. Thank you very much.

This course should be the starting point of any academic career, it provides useful and actionable insights on how to deal with procrastination as well as providing deeper awareness on how to manage ourself in the learning process. It's a pleasure and a privilege to hear and learn form Prof. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski.

Learning How to Learn is a very helpful course. On top of the main course/videos, the interviews with different experts from different fields were very helpful. This course should be required in schools globally. I wish I have learned how to learned when I was younger. Thank you so much for creating this very relevant and fun course!

I loved this course! It helped me a lot in the way I'd approach learning new things. It taught me to study more effectively and to stay the course on what I was engaging in. It gave me a different perspective at looking at problems I'm dealing with and applying better strategies or techniques in tackling them.

Thank you so much!!

I really enjoyed this course, it was highly engaging, I loved the fun drawings as well as the more serious presentation material. The course gave me the opportunity to test what I just learnt and it was packed with useful and interesting information. I already started using some of the tricks we learnt and I feel it really helps me.

I took the English course with Spanish subtitles and I must say that the videos are easy to understand, however the exams are more difficult to answer if you do not fully understand English, yet this course provides knowledge in a simple and good way. i liked it very much and didn't find it to be at all heavy or difficult to handle.

This is a great course for life in general! Knowing how your brain works can help you in many areas besides coursework. The only things I would criticize is a couple of the optional reading articles are behind paywalls and the volume of the professors is drastically different, please equalize the volume of speakers in future videos.

This was my very first MOOC in my entire life. It changed the way I think about learning. I wish I had knew about these MOOCs earlier! This MOOC helped me to conceptualize learning strategies in order to learn effectively and efficiently. It made me realize that I could have done so much by being aware of my zombie mode(bad habits).

This is a great course to follow. Should appreciate work done by both Barbra Oakley and Terry Sejnowski , Such great instructors!!!! The experienced I gained by this course will surely improve my ability on controlling my mind more efficiently and will encourage me to face my exams as well as the future challengers as well.

Cheers!!!
