Definitely a good course for understanding how we as humans learn; breaking down tips and practices to help with common struggles and issues when you're having a difficult time grasping new information. Puts you at ease that its all too common for us to not always comprehend everything that is presented to us even if it's in a course structure.

The material in this course was well laid out and presented in a simple yet effective fashion. I highly recommend this course for those who feel they struggle with studying, retaining new information, understanding new concepts, solving complex problems, struggle with test taking, or feel inadequate in their general area of studies or learning.

Sometimes we have knowledge that we can't tell where it is from, with this course i could organize and prepare even more for whatever i am studying. The feeling of accomplishment is filling me and since the start i've been sharing with workmates and family about learning how to learn.

It is with grate joy that i rate this course with five stars.

A Wonderful course that really helped me learn a lot about the way we learn and how I can enhance my own learning. It made the entire process very fun and entertaining, which led me to have a greater interest in the subject! Both Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski are amazing teachers, who have truly made this a course worth viewing!

Even though it's been many years since I graduated from college, I found this course very helpful as a reminder on ways to learn effectively. I'm a dedicated life-long learner, and I've signed up for a master's level class at our local university for this upcoming fall semester. I feel this class will help me as I move forward in this endeavor.

Very good course. I was already using some of the techniques shown here. After watching the course I now understand why the thechniques I was already using worked and I also have learned many new ways of improving my learning. The teachers are outstading in their academic fields and the course is held in plain langue so anybody can understand.

The "Learning How to Learning" course at Coursera is an amazing course, extremely useful and I fully recommends for everyone who sees learning as a passion. Did it twice (1st in 2016) and it always helps me on how to organize my mind putting my brain to working in different ways to absorb content from a new studying area as widely as possible.

This course was a perfect way to learn and improve your techiniques on learning, studying and reading better. It also gives us the do's and don'ts while taking exams, along with providing an insight into how unrelated habits like sleeping and exercising, can help us learn better. Thanks to Barbara and Terry for creating this wonderful course.

Agradezco la oportunidad de tomar este curso que me ha ayudado a crecer como un ser humano capaz de aprender cualquier disciplina que desee incursionar. Estoy muy feliz y optimista. Me siento muy bien conmigo misma y quiero seguir aprendiendo y con el deseo de ayudar a otros, especialmente a aquellos que estén dispuestos a aprender a aprender.

It was a very engaging course that I just completed it without any pressure and also enjoyed the new techniques to learn ans master tough subjects not only in academics but also in Life. Barbara Oakley(the instructer) was so nice and educative that it was a fun during this course. Thank you coursera for Providing us this course . Thanks a lot!

An excellent and powerful MOOC, thanks Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski your knowledge about this topic is simply amazing and marvelous!! I learned how to learn in a more productive way and how to use my time wiser,also I learned many things I didn't know about the brain and how it works. Thanks to both of you and thanks Coursera.

I've learned so much from this course. I've recently started implementing the tips and techniques taught in this course in my life and noticed that it has helped me a lot. My respect and gratitude to Dr.Barbara Oakley, Dr.Terrence Sejnowski, and the rest of the Learning How to Learn team for making this course accessible to everyone for free !

Powerful course, it made more aware of my problem with procrastination and taught me ways of fighting it. I wish I knew all these learning techniques from school, maybe my life would have been different now. I enjoyed very much the way Barbara Oakley presented this course, she is an amazing professor and such a sweet lady. Thank you very much!

This course helped me to understand how I can be more effective learning new things. What I learned in this course will help me my whole life in different aspects such as professional and personal ambits. I love to learn new things every day and now I will do it with quality, understanding how it works and using excellent techniques and tools.

Очень информативный, и полезный курс. Я смог научится многим практическим приемам при изучении любого материала. Все просто и доходчиво, нет никаких "силы мысли или помощи космической энергии". Правильно поставленная техника обучения, упорство, и человек может овладеть новыми знаниями, навыками - это я считаю главными мотиваторами, стимулами

There's always room for improvement. Harboring the notion, you're above learn new information, is counterproductive. This can impede success, in more way than many.

This course helped me with self discovery. In addition, provided effective ways I can study, with proven learning techniques, and better test taking skills, than I previously had.

I love the instructors and how committed they are to really help people, even going an extent of interviewing people who have had great achievements thus increasing motivation towards the learners to become better. I also love the fact that they are using metaphors and analogies that are quite helpful in the learning sessions. I enjoyed alot!

Great course!

They give you a lot of tools for learning and against prograstination, most of them small and easy to apply. The most important underlying (neurological) concepts are explained in a way thats easy to understand and they provide a lot of interviews with interesting people about the material.

Thanks for making this freely available!

This course is one of the few I've actively managed to complete thus far, simply because I used the techniques outlined in the very first week to carry me all the way through. That should tell you how useful and valuable the information is, and how good of a teacher Barbera Oakley is.

I'm also terrible at names, unless they're repeated often.

This course has been revolutionary for me for several reasons: 1. It helped me to realize there is value in online learning, 2. It fed my curiosity and inspired me, 3. It has just the right amount of theory and practical advise, 4. It has just enough depth to give a quick peek into the world of behavior for you to want to learn more. Thanks.

This is one of the rewarding courses. I highly recommend this course as it will add to both your professional and personal life. The information and techniques provided will have a great impact on your life for years to come. I believe that starting with this course is a smart decision as it will be very beneficial in learning other courses.

Great course! I learned how to improve and enhance my memory and learning for future lessons. The material was well put together and practical for everyday learning. An amazing class and now I have skills that can help me for a life-time of learning like I have always desired. Very thankful I took this class! Short 4 weeks of amazing content.

this class is a must take for any life long learner. There are always things you can be more mindful of when trying to pick up a new skill, and this goes deep into the psychology behind them. I am now a more efficient learner, and have even used some of the insight from the class to help shape my personal life to be a more effective person.

In my view, this is very great source for everyone who wants to understand how our brain understand a particular topic, and how to get the most of it. After learning this, I get a much clearer picture about how our brain processes new ideas/concepts in our daily life. Definitely a must-have course for everyone striving for excellence in life!

I might not have participated in the course itself very much, but thanks to the e-mails from the LHTL team I am constantly abreast with their book recommendations, various and inspirational interviews and more. One day I will surely come back to the course and pay special attention to it! A great, I'd even say perspective-changing course! :-)
