The lessons I learned here gave me motivation to tackle harder subjects and even learn new things despite my age. The tone of the instructor is more cordial and rather motivational. It didn't sound like a lecture, which is rather refreshing and effective at the same time.

Türkçe altyazı seçeneğinin olması büyük bir nimet. Dersin içeriği çok dolu ve sıkılmadan, not tutarak dinliyor ve izliyorsunuz. Öğrenme şekileri üzerine yeni bilgiler elde ettim ve yaptığım hataları gördüm. Kesinlikle herkesin alması gereken bir ders olduğunu düşünüyorum.

I learned a lot about our brain structure and learning process. And I received specific techniques for effective training, which I will try to use in the future and tell about them to my students.
Many thanks to the teachers of the course, Barbara Oakley, Terry Sejnowski!

This is definitely one of the best online courses I've ever completed. I really loved the way it was taught. The course material was backed with Scientific research papers and a lot of insights about human brain. It was a really great experience learning "How to learn" :)

This a worthwhile course that can be applied by everybody, I'm using it to set me up for further study and feel much more capable of doing so with it. The course structure has a way of getting the information to stick with you as well, which is what it's all about really.

This is a great course -- short but with well-presented material.
Although I was familiar with most of the mental models and techniques presented, it was extremely useful for me to see which study techniques in particular have been shown to be the most effective.
Thank you!

I found this course very useful, well structured and with plenty of surprising information about how the brain works. I will certainly apply some particularly techniques to better understand, learn and retain new subjects and arguments. Learning is a never ending process.

Many thanks for this course. Some ideas was really new to me and I learn a lot. More important, this isn't another "tips and tricks" course, It is the system which smart people can use to improve themselves.
Keep up the good work. It was a pleasure getting to know you.. :)

Excellent course. Completely changed my perspective and approach to learning. The learning materials are very clear and cover topics from learning methods, tackling procrastination and psychological biases that limit your ability to learn new things. 100% would recommend.

It was great to LEARN How To Learn. . .
Though I'm still looking gonna come back frequently to watch all the optional interviews & assignments.
Though it took me about 6 months to complete this, but I had fun & learned a lot.
I'm gonna apply all of this into my daily life.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to better understand how best to learn. Though I've always said that I am a "life-long learner", I don't think I ever fully knew how to be a life-long learner until now.
I'm excited to employ these strategies into my day-to-day experiences.

Great course with hugely rewarding learning. If you want to know how or why your study habits have failed you in the past, you owe it to yourself to attend and practice spaced repetition of the materials. You'll find out about spaced repetition in the first class video.
