I find the course to be beneficial and can be applied immediately to my learning. I particularly like the memory techniques and the ways to overcome procrastination. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand more about the learning process and the neurological background to it.

It's a great course to learn how to learn, literally. Certain techniques I used to use were also mentioned during the course. Most importantly, I learned a lot more and new ways on improving my learning skill. I would like to revisit course materials when I "hit" the wall during my learning process.

Life lessons that should be taught in schools. The basic skills that everyone needs. I (med student) am grateful to all the people who made this possible. Thank you. Special thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley, Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and people behind the scene who made this course possible and accessible.

Great course with powerful information. This was assigned for my summer math class and was not given a good time window to complete, so I had to cram it in(funny because that is very contradictory to the material. I will keep refreshing myself on the notes I took and attempt to teach others with it.

Magnificent. It helped me really understand why certain techniques had worked for me over the years, and which techniques I should learn and hone to improve my learning. I found Dr. Oakley's story especially motivational, and have been inspired to try and learn more than I thought myself capable of.

Thank you really much for this awesome course! I only wish that I had seen it earlier, 6 years ago, when I began my university studies. This year I am finishing my Masters degree in Computer science. I strongly believe that this gained knowledge will help me for my whole remaining lifetime learning.

I started this course not knowing what I'll be getting, not knowing if it will succeed in improving the way I learn and my life overall. Now, that uncertainty cleared out and I know for sure that this course did it for me. Now I'm learning new things everyday and actually getting values out of them.

First off, the course brought to me many new ideas about learning. Secondly, the exercises reinforced many of those ideas. As a result, I now have a much better shot at being an effective learner. Having said that, our results will only be good if we "deliberately" apply what this course teaches us!

I found the course helped relieve some anxiety about ging back to school this fall. I learned a lot about myself and will continue to apply the knowledge I gained about how my brain works, how I learn and how to best improve the way I learn and think. I enjoyed the course my than I thought I would.

I hope to keep on getting back to this course over and over just to remind myself how learning works, and how I'm able to make my own learning manual associated on my abilities. Thank you for lending us this material, it now opens more opportunities for me on how to approach things about learning.

I used to study much for school but was not getting the exact output of what I put in. Learning this course has helped me to understand and know the mistakes . I believe going forward my results would not be the same because I have started putting into practice all that I have learnt in this course

This has been very well put course about improving one's learning skills.
Even though most of the subjects might have been somewhat familiar to me as a psychology MA It was still very helpful in a learning context.
Definitely worth spending your time on this to improve your capabilities to learn!

By far the best course i have ever seen. Excellently structured and this course motivated me to think a lot about myself, for example i am practicing pomodoro technique. For the first time in my life, I published an article on Medium because of the final assignment being given in the honors section

This course has been comprehensive, enlightening, inspiring, and useful.
It was well-presented and well-structured. Your learning builds upon itself as you go through the course. I found myself easily digesting lessons, immediately applying the strategies, and finishing the course in half the time.

I find myself using the techniques I learned in this course not only when I'm trying to learn new things, but also when I'm trying to strengthen my ability to create and write. I recommend the course to everyone who is committed to expanding life skills, academic skills, or any other learning goal!

EXCELLENT course – Dr. Barbara Oakley explains very well (it is really helpful she is so calm but, at the same time, excited about what she is teaching!) and she gives a lot of good examples, so that we can understand more deeply where to apply the techniques she talks about. I highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful course for students and educators alike. I teach kindergarten ESL, but I've been able to put into practice much of what I learned about learning to help my students learn more and remember it longer. Plus, this course has helped me to rekindle my own lifelong love of learning.

Great course! It helps to formalize best learning practices and become a good learner. You'll find out what Pomodoros and interleaving are, how to understand and remember newly learned material better with less effort, how to procrastinate less. Thanks to whole LHTL team for such great information!
