I just finished the course and I highly recommend it.
The value of actually knowing how to study is immeasurable. I will be using 100% of the mental frameworks and tools that were explained in the classes.
Thanks to both Barbara and Terrence for the work they put into the course 🙂.

An eye opener course on how the brain works and how one can optimize learning. Incredibly useful. Spot on tactics on all the problems and fears one might encounter when learning difficult topics in any field. Probably the most important course, it should be mandatory for everyone.

Wow! i didn't know there were many techniques in effectively using your brain. I have just discovered how to unlock my potential. What I like about the course is how the lectures were kept short and meaningful. I hope I can apply the techniques discussed in this course to my life.

I found it enlightening: this course makes you understand how your brain works in very simple words. Actually it was very interesting reading how and why things I already did actually work best in my study routine and learning new things.
One of the best ways of spending your time!

The best course to learn how to learn. You will get answers many questions that you would have had on learning. The methods and techniques will be extremely helpful. I wish I had known these techniques when I was young where I would have enjoyed learning more than I actually did.

This course is extremely useful for me. As living in a country that exam-oriented education takes the lead, I find that a lot of my former study method were wrong. Therefore, I would definitely recommend this course to my friends, cousins, and of course, my teachers. Thanks a lot.

Great course. Learned a lot and have started to use the strategies I learned in my studies. Gave A Mind for Numbers book and recommended the Learning How To Learn Coursera course to my niece who is starting college in seven weeks, and my dad who is starting to have memory loss.

More than the way in which you should learn to learn, the course in a general way shows you how you should handle the information in your brain. It is the living example of a good way to learn to learn on the subject of learning to learn.
They did a great job with this course.

It is great course for those who thinks just because of some silly problems. My biggest problem was that i am not consistent toward my studies and i get easily distracted. There are many useful techniques i learned from this course and most that will change my life is "Pomodoro".
