An informative and interesting course! Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski have very entertaining and enjoyable approach in teaching practical ideas on learning. I learned alot and have recommended this course to friends and family. Thank you!

This course shows me how bad was my studying habits and help me to enhance it. There is so many good techniques how to study and the explanation of neural processes are'nt missing. It's pretty useful course and Barbara Oakley is very sympathetic person!

Not only did I study the basic concepts and theories of neuroscience that support continuing learning new things through a lifetime but also practiced a bunch of techniques such as Pomodoro, interweaving, spacing, and daily task list before sleep, etc.

Can't recommend enough. Wish I took this earlier in life, but I probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much. Life would have been so much easier if I had applied everything from this course instead of my endless procrastination and sleepless nights.

A powerful tool for adapting to changing times. How to learn in a world in wich to learn new skils is mandatory.

Regardless your age, this powerful mental tools will lead you to the new learn paradigm. A very important stage in the personal growth path.

I enjoyed very much learning about various learning techniques. Also it was great to realize that I actually utilize some of these techniques although I did not know they are the right way to learn and to obtain long-term memorizing. Higly recommended.

A perfect way to get your attention to 'how' you are studying, and not only 'how much'.

Thank you very much for your initiative.

I liked specially the relation of aerobic exercises to learning, which stimulates the ordinary 'geek' to get out of the lair.

Both the professors were incredibly helpful throughout the course and it was very clear that they were both passionate, and interested in making sure the material was as helpful as possible, really going the extra mile. I very much enjoyed this course.

I enjoyed this course and realized I too am able and smart. I also learned it is never too late to learn. I downloaded many of the videos and shared with my family. I recommended this course to others as well. Thank you very much Dr. Barbara Oakley

This course is well worth the time! While some of the material simply reminds of us of the good and appropriate things to do as we learn, there is also a significant amount of new content. I recommend that learners review this information periodically.

A great course! I wish someone would have thought me all this when I was younger! Eye opening and very useful knowledge with applicable techniques. All my misconceptions about the brain and learning were debunked in a second. Recommended for everybody!

I recommend this course to all students that believe they are not good students, just to know they can be best students, keep practicing with these tips and you will see you can learn everything you want, even if it’s the most difficult item like math.

Amazing sessions that changed my view totally about how to learn things. Now I feel like more equipped as I venture further into the world, especially that I am gearing up do an online doctorate program. Thank you very much, and shout out to Coursera!

Definitely a course that one should not miss if he or she want to learn new subject after school. This course provides so many simple and powerful tool, with their mechanism well explained in the videos. I just love it and will recommend to my friends.

Thank's to this course I have learned how to effectively study my assignments, how to avoid overlearning and illusion of competence. Every topic was totally clear and understandable.

I would definitely recommend this course to all my friends and family.

Aprendi a habilidade mais fundamental de todas: à estudar de maneira eficiente e correta, para conseguir melhores resultados, independente de qual seja natureza e a finalidade do meu estudo.

Acho que nunca vou conseguir recomendar esse curso em excesso!

Simple explainanation of complex and useful suggestion. Great course. Professor Oakley has a friendly and effective way to easy present concepts , it is impossible to misunderstan her.

Suggestion: Please, do take Professor Oakley's course on mindshift.

This was one of the most rewarding courses I have taken. It's also very conveniently the most time-effective one because it teaches you a broad variety of tips and "cheats" for hacking into your own mind and making yourself feel and BE more productive.

Excellent course, as from my mechanical engineering point of view. This course should be integrated into every year of primary and high school education. I am changing my study technique to utilize this course's tools in my second undergraduate degree.

Me parecio excelnte la manera en que tocaron los temas de discusion, el método empleado para el correcto aprendizaje es muy efectivo y las verdad espero ponerlo en práctica de inmediato; tuve algunos problemas con las traducciones pero se pudo superar.

It is a very good course for knowing how our brains works and how to make it work better.Maybe some of the ideas you have known before or you don't think it effective enough, but it does give some new perspectives for your learning experience. Thanks!

I learned a great deal. The pace of the course was perfect, the lectures were exciting and clearly lead.

It was a pleasure 'learning'. Thanks!

If you both (together, or separately) do another class - please let me know. I would like to 'learn' more.

Honestly, one of the best courses i've ever had. Thanks to everyone who participated in this course. I really learned a lot in this course especially how to tackle procrastination. Now I know that there is a Zombie inside me and how to deal with him :)

I love this course so much! Love the new ways of learning how to learn. Was wondering is there any relevant subject on learning how to control our emotion? I found out that both topics are connected as emotion disturbance is also a barrier of learning.

Great treasure trove of useful tools and techniques to help you get the most of your studying time - whether you're an actual formal student or you're learning independently, and regardless of the subject you are aiming to master. Great choice, always!
