I would demand that this is course is taught in school. We go in and hope for the best to grasp what we learn in school and in life. In my younger years, I never had a manual on how to learn and would like this in my childhood. I going to come back and refresh my memory to keep everything in.

The material is presented in a very effective and enjoyable way. The instructors are both memorable and personable. The science explained is current and well illustrated along with the use of analogy and metaphor. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to be a better learner.

I really liked this free course. Barbara Oakley explains all the concepts in a very easy to understand way and the mini tests keep things interesting. The sections about 'focusing on process rather than product' and 'procrastination' are great life skills that can be used outside of academia.

This course has completely changed my perspective towards learning and has also thought that no course or field of learning is above my grasp. this course has made me understand that i can learn or acquire any knowledge or skill just by approaching it with the right technique and discipline..

To be honest, this was a great course to do if you're thinking about going back to school and have been away from it for a while, it has useful tips and tools to help you tackle what you might have problems with regarding with studying or learning, but also helps with everyday things as well.

Wonderful for learning learning techniques. It was a pleasure to take this course. I've already noticed a great difference in the way I study (I'm a PhD student); I do it now in a way that allows me to retain the information I need to move forward with my work. I highly recommend this course!

Surprisingly useful. This course title may deceive you into thinking it is only self-help "bullsh*t", but actually it is highly fundamented on solid scientific concepts, and, more important: what this course teaches you REALLY WORKS. Everybody should embrace the concepts this course presents!

With this course I learned the do's and don't of studying. I remembered how I think of myself as a dumb person way back in college when the truth is I just did a lot of wrongdoings in learning.
I now gave great importance to sleep and exercise as part of learning.
Thanks for the LHTL team. :)
