Very good and quick course, which gives you some hints on what you can improve in your approach to studying. It's a valuable resource of learning advice and mechanisms which allow your mind to learn. It's a great subject to study not only as a fundamental for other studies, but also on its own.

How to Learn is perhaps the most relevant skill for anyone at any age. More than anything, our capacity to learn is what allows us to move with the increasing pace our world is running today. Thank you so much Barbara and Terrence! This is definitely one of the most priceless lessons I've had!

This course was very much fun and has excellent learning materials. Everyone should learn this techniques to enhance/improve their method of learning. It would be better if such type of courses are taken during the school days so we all can improve accordingly but it is never too late to learn.

This course is very short, and I think Coursera itself should prescribe this to anyone using their site. The learning material is invaluable and will make you better at learning and love the process for the rest of your life. Brilliant stuff. Wish my Uni taught this to me in my first semester.

As a learning program manager, this course was helpful to understand proven approaches that can help me design better . It was also helpful to me personally; while I am not enrolled in formal education, I am constantly learning new things, and there were some good takeaways for me personally.

Everybody teach something, noone teach you how to learn until now. It's the biggest mistake that doing teachers and people who try to spread the knowledge they don't teach you how to learn. Thanks for that great lesson you give me, i hoped someone had saw me the way of learning things earlier.

The key issues have been presented in a clear and well structured way. I liked a humorous approach to sometimes complex ideas underlying the physiology of our brains. The course helped me to understand better what it takes to truly understand things and how to maintain a "hygiene" of learning.

Great course on learning.
I've been trying to learn new things in my spare time and often find the effectiveness of my time spent is left wanting. The knowledge just doesn't seem to stick.
This course has helped me understand some of the brain's hard wiring and how we can learn more effectively.

Excellent course which uses concepts and insights from a broad variety of sciences to teach students how to learn. Probably the best course I ever took on Coursera and something people in all walks of education - be it at school, university or later in life - would greatly benefit from taking.
