Very interesting course to understand how our brain is working with new information and materials.

Got several unknown technics to improve my ability to learn.

Authors did a good job and try to motivate their students to keep learning in future.

It was pleasant to invest my time into this course.

Its just amazing. I am so motivated by doing the course that I want to start doing something new, do something which was there in my bucket list but was suffering from procrastination. I am thankful to the reverend professors for showing me to learn and do new things.

Profound regards, Coursera!!

This course is fantastic. I feel like it's the best place to start if you want to get the most out of learning whatever skills you want to acquire. The lessons are simple, yet enlightening. You can begin using the techniques immediately after learning them and really see the difference it makes.

This course is a must for everyone! i used to procrastinate a lot but the habit starts to change as I learn the basic concept of our brain. This course really helped me to change the way I learn and understand new materials, how I study efficiently and effectively without having to force myself.

Great class! They explained how to use helpful learning tools to help retain information and stick to a schedule to avoid having a negative relationship with school and study and combat procrastination. I enjoy school so much more, I retain more information and I have all A's so far! Thank you!

This was amazing. A lot of practice, a lot of practical ideas. At fist I was a bit prejudices to the lecturers but in a few days I liked them very much. I use this "focused-diffuse thinking" approach a lot lately to remember the things I was trying to remember. Also I like additional interviews.

Sûrement une des choses les plus intéressante et enrichissante que j'ai pu faire, c'est un cours très agréable à suivre et que je recommanderai à n'importe quel étudiant ! j'ai déjà fais passer le message dans ma fac, de plus les résultats sont nettement visibles pour ma part.

Merci mille fois !

This course helps to unlock my brain and prepares me for life learning process. I believe it will do the same to everyone. I recommend that you start your learning process by learning how to learn. It lights up my brain and shows me that there are spaces in my brain for things that I never knew.

As an experienced vocational education teacher, this course has highlighted many concepts and ideas that I can pass on to my students to help them pass the course I am teaching. It has also opened my eyes to misconceptions and mistakes I am making in my own studies towards a Master of Education.

Right now, I am starting the last course week, but I am totally in love with all I have been learning.

I recommend everyone to read Dr. Barbara's book along with the course. It really helps deepening the learning.

Thank you very much for the possibility of learning from such high level professors.

I you are interested in knowing how we as a individual learn anything & what factors influence it to what extent, go for this course. The professors here will teach in a manner somewhat different & interesting from norm. Anyways, I think I got to learn a LOT !!! from this course, so Thank You..

Life-changing course teaches you everything about effective learning and how to learn better providing you with techniques and also ways to overcome challenges when they arise. The professors in this course explain every aspect easily and digestible making concepts and ideas easy to understand.

Amazing content. Even though I had self discovered some of the techniques mentioned in this course, the way they are presented and explained with scientific evidente by world class guests makes this course a must for anyone who is serious about achieving in the professional and academic life.

Sorry to have overridden your process of learning but i have completed within a day because i wasnt able to do anything else while i am thinking about this all day long. this has the best content for you to analyze how you do things. And this review is totally personal if you dont agree i fine.

Dr. Barbara Oakley presentation is actually refreshing and welcoming. Even with the completion of a couple of graduate degree programs and other professional/personal learning endeavors, this course brought out new and useful techniques that can be utilized by people at any level of education.

This course is very effective for me in every steps of my life. By following this course, I have learned many valuable points for a better learning. Thanks a lot my dear lecturers for your help on developing my life skills and for giving me a strength to be positive in every moments of my life.

Amazing course. Wish I had come across this a long time ago. Concepts are on point and extremely comprehensible. I definitely have learned a lot from every single session. It is something I have been wanting to know for a very long time. A big Thank You to the team for making it so easy for us!

Very useful concepts to help with learning. The course has embedded in the course design what it is trying to teach the students to learn, such as space-repetition, recall, analogy and metaphor, to name a few. I enjoyed the course and the learning. Many memorable points such as the flying mule.

I have not been involved in college courses in many years. I've worked in corporate America and this was a refreshing change of communication. I learned a lot! I've left corporate I, now I'm a contractor. I cannot believe how much I learned from you to use even in my day-to-day life. Thank you!

This course helps me to understand better how the brain function and accept information. It gives me a new perspective on teaching.I hope everyone will have an opportunity to be part of this course. I am suggesting this course to parents and teachers who could teach their children how to learn.

!

Excellent course! The instructors are very experienced and kind. All the tips and concepts are very important and all professionals at any discipline must learn them. I will definitely take their next course: "Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential"

Excellent course - I recommend it! Why don't they teach this stuff in school? It's practical information that will serve you over your lifetime. A good chunk of the material is techniques you may already be doing or heard of but there's enough in here to walk away with new ideas and new habits.

This course is fantastic, it has opened up my creative side and although it is early days, I believe it can only get better. Having completed the course, a lot of the material feels familiar to me, possibly because it makes so much sense. I believe that it will help me in many areas of my life.

Every student needs to take this course so that they can cut through the nonsense out there about studying and improve their own study habits. Ditch highlighters, learning styles, supplements (except ritalin...amazing stuff) and be open and honest with oneself about ones appaling study methods.

Loved this course! Although I was familiar with many things they discussed in the course, like the Pomodoro method many others may not be. I liked the summary of helpful tips in the fourth week and honestly it's a very simple course to complete. Definitely worth the 2-3 hours per week workload.
