I love the learning models that have been shared in this course, it really brings me a lot of new concepts of learning and many helpful techniques like Pomodoro, start-hard-jump-easy, memory palace and so on. Furthermore, I notice that I've embraced exercises and sleeping more after this course:)

This course introduced me to impactful techniques and strategies that helped me greatly throughout my secondary and (currently) post-secondary schooling. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to remove procrastination, increase their productivity and achieve more in their life!

This course has been such an enriching experience. For anyone who pursues the course and completes all the activities with interest, it opens up new avenues and interests. I recommend it for all students and learners in general. I hope everyone gains what I have from the course. Happy Learning :)

I appreciate the lecturers Barbara and Terry for being very clear and not so much sophisticated explaining every concept and ideas shared while teaching the course. All four modules are structured in the most accessible way. They may be useful for any person whether a teenager or a retired adult.

One of the best courses ever!!!! So much important and helpful tips, wonderful specialists and Dr. Oakley is a perfect lecturer - during this short videos she just wonderfully "inserted" all those ideas in my head! Thank you for the wonderful topic, for the great research and the best lecturer!!!

I really enjoyed the class. As a 53 year old that's been out of the class setting for a very long time, this class has provided me with much needed confidence. Even if I never step foot in another class, this course even provide skills and techniques for the work setting.

Thank you Dr. Oakley!

im very proud of finishing this fantastic course. it could jump me a new step of how learning something new, once im a english language student so concluded it was really grantedfull. People like you can make the world more smart and less silly. thanks im looking for forward to start another one.

I feel this course gave me a solid foundation on how to tackle my education. Before, I knew some of the methods taught here, but didn't realize their importance and simply neglected using them. On top of that, the lessons were concise and interesting, which made them easy to follow. Great course!

Very simple, but at the same time very important course for everyone. Helps to understand many things that happen in our life. I'm ashamed to admit, but I did not know some things. The course is well formed in the overall picture of the worldview and self-knowledge, and will be useful to everyone

I cannot think of a single person I know that wouldn't highly benefit from taking this course. Learning is what differentiates us from the dead. And this course lessons can be applied in all areas of our lives. I am recommending it for every one. This should be a required course for all teachers.

I liked very much the course. Is a life change course, that will help me not only in my academic preparation, but in my daily tasks and in my job. I appreciate very much the way this course is granted. Thanks to the teachers and the way the course is produced (the videos are great!). Best, Maggie

Awesome course.

These mental tools are really helpful!

Thanks a lot!

If English is a foreign language for you and you have never learned smth in English, but want to - this is a good course to start and to get such an experience. After it will be much easier to study some special subject.

This course provides lots of meaningful and useful knowledge about human's brain structure and working mechanism, focused and diffuse thinking modes, and memory, and techniques to tackle procrastination and illusion of completion, anyone can learn a lot from it regardless the background and age.

I just could not stop watching the videos! This course is the perfect example of a well-designed online content, because it goes straight to the point, gives you tips on how to apply the knowledge according to your own needs and possibilities and opens the door to further exploration. I loved it!

I really enjoyed this class. I typically don't have trouble learning new subjects, but I was able to bring quite a few of these techniques to my everyday work life. I now know when I am procrastinating because the process of something seems really hard.

Thank you,

I tell everyone about this class.

The course was just amazing!

Short videos containing that allow the student to focus and don´t lose attention. One of the best online classes I´ve done!

Barbara is really good in explaining and show an enthusiasm for the subject that makes the student feel more will to sit and listen to the videos!

I am a 55 year old learner with two advanced degrees and I have struggled. My hope is that more people get exposed to your work. It has the power to ease suffering and end unnecessary battles with self confidence. It may even keep many from giving up. Thank you for your generosity and knowledge.

This should be a mandatory class for all high and university students. I wish I knew about this when I was at that age. It changed my learning habits and I am sure it will help my future studies and my life!

Approach and sell this course to your target audience. So there is your marketing idea!

Life-long learning is a must. I wish I had learned all this much earlier in life, but it is never too late. This was a great course. I also purchased the accompanying book. The Anki mentioned has also been very helpful in learning the concepts. Don't waste a moment. Take the course today.

I really enjoyed this course. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also made the material relatable. The videos were structured well, in small "bite-sized" units that were easily digestible. You could feel Barbara Oakley's enthusiasm for teaching. That was certainly a positive for me.

This is something I wish I knew when I was back in school which is why I'm teaching my kids all the techniques I learned. I've also prepared a ppt to share to my network of family & friends so they would appreciate learning more. Thank you Barbara and Terrence. I truly appreciate this course.

loved every single thing taught in the course, would love to use them in my learning process from now on. thanks to the wonderful professors who have taught the course so beautifully and for actually bringing the idea for such a wonderful and effective course. this was a nice experience overall.

This is the best course I have taken on Coursera. It is immensely fun, immediately practicable, is 'chunked' according to what it teaches, and possesses the perfect blend of head and heart. I picked up many useful skills and values, and highly recommend this course to everyone regardless of age!

This has been a very insightful class.

I have learned on how my brain works, which gives me a better chance to make better use of my natural abilities, mental skills and resources.

It has catalyzed my momentum towards learning and torn down some mental blocks that had followed me since childhood.
