This is an amazing course. Learning is made very easy by the tools shared in this course. Dear Procrastinators and all others who think they are studying hard, please do this course. Actually each and every person should enrol for this course as it helps improve day to day life. Thank you for the course.

A real masterpiece. Didn't have high expectations initially. But as the course progressed, I witnessed one of classic training sessions. Right content and terrific presentation. I would highly recommend this course. Being an aspiring writer, this course was highly useful to me. Expecting more in future.

Loved the course. Learned many tricks for learning things fast and understanding them deeply. I'm pretty sure this course has changed how I'm going to learn new subjects/skills in future.

If you are planning to make MOOCs or some other skill, then this course is a must to extract more out of limited time.

Every one must study this course,

In this course I understand about how my brain works and the scientific way to create the t longerm memory.

Learning about chunks , working and diffuse mode of brain , deliberate practice , recall , overlearing , illution of competence ,procastination are interesting ...

I thought this course was very informative...and entertaining. The presenters provided a great deal of information in a very easy to understand style and used a variety of examples and videos. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in understanding various methods that can be employed in learni

I learned so many useful things in this class. It's a meta-class. How to learn is not something you see very often. I've shared the link with all my friends. Anyone who thinks of themselves as a lifelong learner, and anyone taking classes after a break away from school, will really appreciate this class.

Amazing MOOC! Barbra makes understanding how the brain works so easy! The course is filled with great examples and with a very easy language. I feel like I learnt stuff that I will use for the rest of my life... so thank you Barbra and the people of Coursera for this great tool for learning how to learn!

The course is really helpful. After learning you will have a general picture on how the brain works(the diffuse mode and the focus mode)(The working memory and the long term memory)(Some basic neuron science)...........I really learned a lot. Thank you Professor Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski. :)

The only negative thing I can say is that this course was not available when I was younger! I am grateful to Barbara and Terrence and their team for providing such a wonderful learning experience. At 43 years of age I have finally learned how to learn. And this is outstanding thing to say by an educator!

I'd not use the term the best course ever, but instead I must say that this course is one of the greatest and important courses in the Coursera platform. In my opinion, every student regardless of his field of specialization should follow this course to increase the effective learning methods of his own.

A must-take course for serious learners who are either planning to study something or are already on their learning journey. This course will give you the mental tools to tackle tough obstacles with confidence and get to know how to make the most of the power of your mind to learn and acquire knowledge.

This course helped me become more focused in my studies by utilizing Pomodoro and diffuse mode techniques. All the content, from beginning to end, is reinforced with logical explanations and examples to help create retention and build new healthy habits. I have recommended this course to others as well.

Great journey! I really enjoyed reading and learning more about the brain and the most effective strategies to use it.

Thank you for the clarity and the amazing resources you provided.

I will certainly try to share the main ideas with my young students so the they can benefit and enjoy learning forever.

Fantastic, short, and fun course! I'm excited to apply what I've learned about learning. I plan do some spaced repetition and to return to review the course material with the intention of internalized all of the good ideas and learning strategies. Thank you professors Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski!

Es un curso muy completo, los materiales extra como lecturas y videos adicionales realmente representan el arduo trabajo del equipo para este curso. Les agradezco, no solo aprendi la tematica del curso, sino que tambien me dieron mucho material para poder avanzar en mi carrera que no esperaba encontrar.

One of the Best course I came across how to learn smartly... instead of learning long hours... all parts of course are giving insight details of technique of learning with consideration to working of our brain. Thanking to Both the Mentors and Coursera for giving such an opportunity to learn this course

As a lifelong procrastinator without good study habits, I found this course invaluable. It explains good learning techniques, ways to overcome procrastination and important insights into how the brain learns. I’ve already incorporated principles from this course in other subjects with excellent results.

Wonderful course! I was initially hesitant about this course as I thought it would simply rehash material that most people already know, but this is certainly not the case -- even for a post-university grad like myself. The two instructors are enthusiastic, the course is well presented, and very useful.

An Excellent Course. This course has helped me a lot in understanding things better and also introduced various techniques of learning that I was unaware of. Everyone who has trouble understanding the concepts or thinks they have weak memory should try this course. Thank You Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski

Barbara's sequencing of material, interleaving of concepts, and frequent use of imagery were immensely helpful in getting me to retain the information. This course has fundamentally changed my approach to learning & helped me "get out of my own way" when it comes to achieving something I care about.

Excellent help for learning how to study new and complicated subjects. As a mature student retraining in a technical field this helped me take my haphazard textbook reading and understand my specific learning process. I could then focus and hone my homework and study habits to be much more effective.

I got a very important insight from the course. Teachers gave a lot of useful priceless information that is difficult to just. You can live all your life and never know these important things. Great luck to learn about them on the course and learn from such excellent wise teachers. It's Zen!. Thank You!

Great course! Very informative and helpful for anyone who wants to learn (and teach) better and more efficiently. It is very good structured, and the content is represented in a clear, comprehensive and concise manner. There are a a lot of additional resources which are very good. I highly recommend it!

I like the podomoro strategy. It something I tried duringstudyinf for my last test. I get really distracted so I do other things other than homework but this helped me focus and want to focus so I can feel good about enjoying walking my dog, or checking my phone, or a longer break like watching Netflix.

A great course for shifting your perspective on how to approach learning something new. The course is not too difficult but offers valuable tips on how to use your brain wisely. I learned a lot from it and definitely suggest this to someone who feels like they haven't been the most "successful" student.
