Amazing course, I'm a doctor and i know well how to study, but this course did really surprise me, i learned a lot and now i feel that it really changed the way i study and learn or even i live .. i can just say AMAZING !!i advise all people to learn this, this course is a must for all!

Highly recommend this course if you are in a learning rut or procrastinate too much. It may change your way of thinking about learning. Videos are short and straightforward in digestible chunks instead of being a long boring slog. Includes quizzes in between videos and two assignments.

I am a retired teacher. This course was very interesting. There were various techniques to sharpen our memory. This course teaches to be more disciplined in whatever activities we do. Though we know some of the points told in the course earlier, but it refreshes our mind and reminds us.

Exceptionally Great and Interesting! FABULOUS! I want to watch everything again and again... Congratulations for all creators and staff. Blessings for Dr. Barbara Oakley & Dr. Terry Sejnowski and Staff! Thank you very much!!!! You are great!!! This course will change my life completely.

It is my first course and Im absolutely happy that I tried and passed. Its so many new things that I've learned and I really want to continue. Content is perfect - so simple to understand and easy to learn. Much approtation on it! Speacial thanks to Barbara Oakley. She is great teacher.

This course was and amazing reminder that we as humans are capable of a lot things if we take want to. It will change the your view on things and will prove to you that where is will there is a way. I am very glad. I took this course and I feel much more motivated.

Thank you, Coursera.

A very nice course showing the academic research about our brain and applying this knowledge to help us to learn more effectively and with more passion.

The course videos and interviews are very helpful and easy to understand. Thanks for your effort of the course's team! So kind of you!

Great Course. So much has been said by many others. If you're interested in learning great techniques to help master any material not just math and science then I highly recommend this course. Thank you Barbara and Terry for your commitment to help others to learn and help themselves.

Lectures are fun and interesting as a class on learning should be. I recommend taking this class to anyone who is interested in continuing their education online or on a campus. This course should be a prerequisite to learning from middle school or high school on. An absolute must take!

Exceptional! A calm, easily grasped, and informative course on how the brain reacts to learning. One comes away not only with much understanding on the learning centers of the brain, but how to utilize several mental tools to overcome one's own learning difficulties. Highly recommended!

I learned the following to master a subject -

1 Mental tools,

2 Learning techniques - Promodoro, Memory Palace, Metaphors and Analogy

3Making Learning techniques as a 'Habit'

I shall learn a subject concentrating joyfolly on the process of learning and not on the product of learning.

Having worked as a teacher for over 25 years, I considered this course of paramount importance to my line of work. Not only have I learned a lot, but it has also helped me to get rid of some prejudices toward learning and teaching. This course will definitely help me further my career.

It is highly important to learn this course before starting the main study process. The information is extremely useful. And as it was said in the course we lack of a manual for our brains. but people, as every one knows, should read manuals before start using anything new they obtain.

i have lagged finishing this course TREMENDOUSLY and for that i am super embarassed but the tools this course has given me and the things i have learned have not only worked for my specific learning needs but also into all areas of my life. the professors seem incredibly sweet as well.

Best course to take no matter what field you're in! This course is seriously life changing. From understanding how learning works, to tips on studying and taking exams, to changing your perspective about learning and your ability to learn. Honestly should have taken this course sooner!

Truly helpful to understand how your brain works and how to trick it for you to learn better. I appreciate the funny analogies used in this content. I love that the videos are short and interesting at the same time. Thank you for sharing your discoveries and tips! Let's all learn more!

All the things I wanted to know about learning when I was in school.

And some of this stuff, I thought back then I was the only one to think about this stuff, no professor or pupil was talking of these concepts.

It would have been hugely useful back then... I will be hugely useful now :)

This is a revolutionary course. I am greatly in debt with the mentor. thank a lot of mentors for presenting such an astonishing feat of educational material with such a thorough explanation of details of the activities of our brain and performance of it in such a beautiful way. Thanks!

I have learned many things in this course. Such as the pomodoro technique, how important sleep is and the difference between focused and diffuse modes in learning. I thought the course was well structured and I would highly recommend it to others. Thank you so much for opening my eyes.

This is a very good course as every thing is explained in very scientific manner. If your going to attend this course then don't leave the optional studies and videos of this course as it will provide you with deeper understanding of the material. A very much thanks to both professors.

Learned a lot of techniques to use our minds. The techniques they've listed and explained in the course, when practised can definitely make you remember anything. And it's not just about learning...they've also explained how to use the knowledge you've gained in the most effective way.

The course is very consice and apt. It is very very useful. The course has actually helped me learn how to learn. It has given me awesome useful techniques to learn new stuff and also cleared misconceptions which I had. Thanks. Also, the professor is a good teacher and is also funny.:)

Thanks so much - I felt like since I am getting older, I would not be able to start out towards a new degree, but you have given me some new tips and techniques that make me feel more confident that I should move forward with taking more classes and hopefully move forward in my career.

This course is really great! Whether you are studying or working I think it gives you so much in terms of mastering how to memorise things. I will be sharing some of these techniques in my new lessons, and I will adapt my lessons according to what I've learned in the course. Thank you!

It was the best course I've ever had.

In Russian: в рот мне ноги, это самое шедевральное творение человечества в области саморазвития, буквально за две-четыре недели ты узнаёшь о себе туеву хучу полезной информации, которую можешь применять на практике буквально во всём.
