I originally enrolled in Mindshift because I am seeking a career change, and am taking multiple online courses, but felt as though I wasn't focused or strategic in my search and evolution.

Now, I have knowledge of tools to help me become focused or strategic.

I loved learning the meaning of focused and diffused learning.

But mostly Mindshift has been like self therapy for me. It has reinforced and validated things I have already experienced, thought and believed. And put them into a practical and applicable context.

I no longer feel intimidated, but rather encouraged and inspired, to continue on my path.

I think what I will remember the most about Mindshift and Learning How to Learn, is that there will always be critics to my career change. I loved this lesson and was glad to see it in this MOOC. I have encountered these critics in my past and I unfortunately listened to them. And I have experienced these critics in my present. So again, I feel validated and reinforced to continue on my journey of what I know is best and true for me. With better understanding, insight and tools to help me through the intricacies and challenges along the way.

It's hard to actually review this course because topics covered are very wildly all over the place and on different levels of knowledge. Correct way to handle this course would be to actually divide this course into two - first two weeks that should be called "Advanced learning" and week 3 and 4, that are more about encouraging people to change their lives. And, I believe, these are two totally different topics...

For anyone that wants to learn how to learn Week 2 is a total and absolute MUST listen. Several times...

Weeks 3 and 4 are only for people that wants to change their work life or/and level of work happiness. Important topic, no doubt about it, but to more limited number of people.

So if you enjoyed "Leaning how to learn" - you'll find Week 1 and 2 very useful. Otherwise check this course only if you consider changing you profession or way of work life.

Oh, and too few videos from Dr. Sejnowski. His videos in "Leaning how to learn" were a great contrast to easy-going and fun videos from Dr. Oakley - and for me it really helped to keep my focus on the MOOC.

This is the very first MOOC that I took and I wasn't discouraged and disappointed. I wanted to take online courses to pass time as we are all under quarantine because of the COVID-19 pandemic.During the first week, I became lazy and postponed taking the classes. But after all, I decided to finish it. I like how I can see the instructors's faces because it made me feel like I was in a classroom setting. I also appreciate the humor and jokes incorporated while discussing the topics. I was able to learn a lot and see things in a different perspective every time I will finish a video.I also enjoyed reviewing other people's submissions on the peer-reviewed assignments because I learned how to grade properly based on the rubrics and give an honest, respectful review on other people's work.The only think I didn't like though, is how some sound effects are too loud (eg. the "ting" bell sound at the start of every video). As I was using earphones, it hurt my ears hearing the sound.All in all, I enjoyed and earned a lot from the course.

A solid course that discusses how to learn, develop, and apply skills to your career, as well as the benefits associated with lifelong learning. It is recommended that you take the "Learning How to Learn" course before moving on to this one.

While in theory this course sounds like an appropriate continuation from the aforementioned course, it does lack substance at times and very superficially covers material. The course also does not have a very engaging student cohort; the discussion form is very bland and if you decide to do the honours content then be prepared to wait a while to receive your results. Despite this, Mindshift conveys some important messages which may be very beneficial for different viewers. It is worthwhile to check out, but please do Learning How to Learn first as this course will build from it.

The course has great information and I found it interesting to the end. I did find the videos hard to watch and to keep my attention on what was being said, at the same time. My own thoughts kept intruding, and so I learned to look away while I listened. This helped a lot. I love how the course has mini tests after the videos and a quiz at the end of each chapter. They helped me see where I needed to pay better attention and kept me focused throughout the course. This course has really helped me learn how to pay attention. Now, if I even think I've missed something, I now back up the video so that I catch it all. It's important not to miss anything. Online learning is so much better than in-class learning just for this reason.
