I would recommend this to anybody, that's how powerful, useful and pure it is. Thank you, especially to Dr. Barbara Oakley, for teaching me skills that I will gratefully use throughout life, and for helping me to understand the bigger picture of how we learn. 5/5.

It is a great course and a life time learning. It explores all the concepts that will help in personal and professional growth. I recommend everyone who is looking for a way to learn how to learn and stop procrastinating. The assignments are intelligently modeled.

I don't have too much to say. However this course is highly suggested if you are having hard times studying and focusing. It helped me manage how to study and also I've become more focused and aware of how I was learning. It helped me out in everyday life as well.

It is a small investment of my time with big returns. I now have a much better understanding of how brain works (in lay man terms) in learning, and some tools to help me become a better learner. I recommend this course to anyone who aspires to a life-long learner.

In depth yet clear this course has helped me so much in the few short weeks it has taken to complete it. I thoroughly recommend it for anyone with learning anxiety or procrastination issues, but also those who want to broaden their learning techniques. It's great!

Very excellent course. I have learnt a lot of learning skills and English from the class. The course is very interesting and plentiful, I even can't stop listening to the lessons ob by one. What's more, I have been unconsciously using the learning skills to learn.

This course has helped me to realize what are really effective habits for self-study and learning, both by reinforcing good habits I am aware of with scientific evidence, and introducing new ways to approach self learning. Probably the best MOOC I've ever taken.

You will have a good time during this course. But learn a lot about how we think, how we remember, how exercise affects the brain, how insomnia affects us, how to stay persistent, how to change habits ... how to effectively change your life. Great recommendation!

It truly shapes the way of my thinking to be more structured, although I cannot say it scientifically with references as proof, but this course must be owned and undertaken by all students, employers, and very important to those who are in the educational sector.

Great information on how to study effectively. These concepts are easily applied to any course or future learning you may endeavor in. Some things you may already do by habit, but it's good to know they are the correct practice and you should continue doing them.

Un nuovo modo di guardare all'apprendimento. La consapevolezza di certi meccanismi apre prospettive entusiasmanti sulla capacità di ognuno di Noi di imparare cose sempre nuove anche su ambiti che reputiamo lontani dal nostro BackGround oppure troppo difficoltosi.

this course is a very useful course, rarely do we get tips and tricks in studying in formal schools, and in this course we understand how the brain system works when we learn new things, and how effective tips can make our memory of a material sharp or permanent

One of the best courses i have attended on coursera. Its very simple and easy to follow. Course length is very reasonable and not too many ideas have been cramped in the videos. I think this should be your first course on coursera before starting anything else.

This is the first course that I like. I appreciate how both professors extend their effort to educate us well with their concepts. I also love the idea of added interviews with individuals who are well in learning. Overall, I love this course. Thank you so much.
