This is a really good course. I'm over 50 years old now, with a successful career in science and IT, but even so I wish someone had sat me down when I first started studying and given me these tools. They are non-intuitive but very effective, and I really appreciate the effort from the instructors in passing on this life-changing knowledge for free.

This course should be absolutely mandatory for students looking to further their education past Middle School. The professors present sound and earnest methods of using one's entire mind to his or her advantage. We even learn how to use our disadvantages to our advantage! This is simply a perfect course for learning the finer points of how to learn.

It was very informative and really helpful. I am a serial procrastinator and I found techniques to tackle procrastination very effective. I'm going to apply those techniques in my life.

Moreover, I found the teachers very good in explaining the concepts. I would love to see them teaching more courses here.

Thank you for designing such a cool course!

Excellent course, a 'must' for students or anyone attempting to learn and retain information. I recommend the course and the book, A Mind for Numbers, to students routinely and use some of the information in workshops on study skills and test-taking. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn and retain information more effectively.

It is a great course esp for aspiring students, teachers (who in turn can teach their students) and parents. I wish these things are imparted and drilled in students at a much earlier age. I knew most of these things but by accident and over a long period of time. Brilliant course - you can even download or see all videos in 1 go like a documentary.

Taking this course is an investment on your future. It will help anyone who wishes to learn new skills learn more effectively. Here, you learn how to learn everything else, and I think thats amazing on its own. Im sure my learning problems wont bother me as much as I get more familiar with what Ive picked from here. Its a great course for everyone.

Taking this course (before you take courses in the subject matter that interest you) is a no brainer! I took this course to ensure that I got the most out of the online courses I wanted to take. The concepts and tips presented were easy to grasp and apply. I think this course will have a big impact on my ability to learn and retain new material.

This is an excellent course especially those aspiring to learn more materials. The instructor is knowledgeable and used various forms of teaching styles. She has several interviews with renowned personalities, recommends reading valuable texts by very credible authors. I enjoyed my learning. I would want to develop my class like this in the future.

Amazing course. I'm not currently studying for tests or a degree but found the neuroscientific background and learning strategies extremely interesting and helpful for all kinds of situations where we grapple with new information. And I particularly love the references and further reading suggestions that accompany each module for future reference.

Whether you are a student in a school or in a college, in my opinion, we all are students in this life. To continue producing creative solutions, we need to stay in connection with ourselves by learning. Learning How to Learn has immensely widened my horizons on how capable a human being is towards his/her mental abilities. Totally recommending it!

This course though light and breezy is full of very useful and surprising insights into how the brain works and how we can use simple practical techniques to learn and understand things better.

This course is suitable for all branches of study, academic, non-academic.

I highly recommend this course and also Barbara Oakley's book, 'A Mind For Numbers'

Very helpful and approachable. The book is an excellent complement to the course (not surprising since the course is based on the book). ("A Mind For Numbers" is the book title).

It is worth reviewing the course materials periodically (better: build your own spaced repetition flash cards!) because it's information you'll want to hang on to for life!

This is one of the best course I have ever taken, maybe I have taken this course when I was a kid so I had not to struggle this much to learn. It tells me how to control procrastination, how memory works, how to think, how to learn, How exercise contributes to our learning and much more. Course has ended but I would always be a part of this course.

I loved this course and keep referring to it in conversations with friends and work colleagues. I could not possibly say (sing?) enough praise about it. This course got me to start studying the German language again and relit the desire to finally finish that last research paper needed to complete my degree in Anthropology. Thank you, thank you!

I have been only into the preview week and the course is amazing. It has given me amazing insights and helped me understand my thinking patterns. Now I understand why my brain thinks the way it thinks. The rest 4 days have been wonderful. I am able to take control of my thought pattern and learn a lot. Looking forward to the complete course. Thanks

This course teaches you that most of the school don't teaches, this course gives the best understanding of learning by understanding your brain, I found this course very helpful, this course teaches us almost everything about how to become a real and better learner, this course gives the scientific proven ways to become a better learner. Thank you

Thank you for this wonderful training course. What I benefited most from in this course is presenting several ways to solve the problem of procrastination and losing interest at the beginning of the study, and the contribution of sports to consolidating what I learned and many very useful information. Thanks for the information you provided to us

This was a great course to learn how to learn. It goes over many important topics such as studying, chunking, memory, sleep, exercise, study methods, and test tips. The videos are short (less than 10 minutes) and the quizzes aren't too difficult if you are paying attention. I recommend this course for anyone who need or want to learn how to learn.

Ce cours est très édifiant. Il m'a permis non seulement de renouer avec la passion d'apprendre de nouvelles choses, mais aussi, il m'a permis d'apprendre beaucoup plus facilement et plus rapidement. Surout enn ce qui concerne la mémorisation. Les techniques simples et pratiques enseignées se sont avérées très efficaces. En plus, le cours est fun!!

I found the Course to be useful to me to Learn How to Learn. It helps me to plan, take actions, learn new things and subjects and to practice new things, to relate new things with old and to teach others how to learn. I am thankful to Dr. Barbara and Dr. Tserovoski for preparing and delivering the course professionally. Warm Regards Viren Sharma

I found this course as eye opener, so practical and made me realize very valuable things for me which I will be able to use/have started using to improve my learnings. I have also shared with colleagues of mine at my workplace the information about the course as well as some techniques which can be immediately utilized such as Pomodoro. Thank you!

¡Es el mejor curso que he visto en mi vida! Agradezco en el alma cada una de las enseñanzas que recibí aquí, pues sin estas no podría hoy entender la vida de la manera que la entiendo. Espero poder seguir estudiando y aprendiendo, y por supuesto poder aportar mi granito de arena en este proyecto tan espectacular de educación universal y/o mundial.

It is an excellent on line course. When I read ` Mind Shift` by Dr Barbara OaKley,I never thought that it would be that interesting and useful. I wish it continued for more weeks. Personally,I got the answers to my searches through this wonderful process of learning. I strongly recommend people to go through this course and enjoy further learning.

It is a great course which outlines different techniques which will help you learn more effectively. It also explains the functioning of the brain with regard to learning in easy to understand and fun ways. The course also helps you in dealing with procrastination. I loved the course and would highly recommend it.

Thank you Coursera and Team LHTL!

Excellent course that improved my approach to learning. When thinking of the fact how many people around the world are taking this course, it is fair to say that this course has the potential to improve the lives of hundred of thousands of people.

I wish to express my special gratitude to Barbara Oakley: Your course makes this world a better place!
