This course teaches about having a growth mindset and personal development. The instructors spoke clearly and communicated their ideas in an accessible, engaging and easy-to-understand format. However, I thought this course was only average. The syllabus seems disjointed and incohesive. I didn't understand the rationale for the themes for different weeks. I was also disappointed with the assessments. The answers were either very obvious or required to know word-for-word what the instructor said- in that sense, you didn't apply the knowledge that was taught to you and ironically, is counter-intuitive to the ideas that was being taught in Mindshift.

It was an entertaining course but the title is misleading. Only the first part regarding breaking through obstacles to learn was true. "Discover your hidden potential" is a big claim and unfortunately the course material didn't deliver as promised. It felt like the the same old "selling shovels in the gold rush" tactic. Maybe a title like that provides some confidence and hope to people that have not been able to focus in their studies but I think promising to "discover a hidden potential" is too uncertain to declare.

OK, felt like Learning to Learn (btw excellent course) rehash. I felt this course was a bit muddled, was trying to ascertain what their focus was, career prep? paradigm shifts? epiphanies? learning and studying habits? neurology? Some good points, like the value of being open to learning skills that are completely out of your area of supposed expertise and having a growth mindset, but I felt the presentation lacked focus and didn't translate their background reference material (which was great to read in my own time)

A fairly good primer for anyone who wants to get started with MOOCs and online courses. I assume that the materials and videos are recorded in 2016, but there are some of the stuff taught that may have been outdated such as the Pomodoro Technique.

My grips with this course is that a lot of the lectures and explanations are too shallow and vague for the students who expected in-depth learning. I feel like this is more of a motivational courses akin to reading a self-help book if anything.

Pretty good, although not awesome. I took the previous course, Learning How to Learn, which covered a lot of the same material and with more depth than this Mindshift course. However, this course did have some additional info I found helpful and although they didn't have as many interviews, the ones they included tended to be more beneficial and interesting in my opinion.Also, the editing and video style and animations were much more advanced and modern than Learning How to Learn.

Overall the course itself was good. However I do have a problem with the assignments/discussions obligating you to be personal with a bunch of strangers. I understand that it helps, but not everyone likes talking or discussing their personal goals, values, life, plans, past, etc. I found it very difficult to partake in those assignments/discussions. However that is just my personality (which is why I gave it a lower rating). Sorry.

The first two weeks had great information, but then weeks 3 and 4 go into areas that didn't seem to match the content from the first two weeks. I also did the Learning How To Learn course, which did a much better job teaching the skills I was looking for.

Also - the videos are tediously short. When I'm sitting down to focus, the frequent interruptions to advance to the next short video were distracting,

Learning how to learn is and excellent course. This course doesn't provide what i was hoping for. I really don't care how MOOCs are made and how you can buy green screen online. It is unneceseary long, covers everything and covers nothing at the same time. However, advices from people in Optional Bonus Videos helped me a lot.

This is a good course. I recommend most people take it

However there is nothing really extraordinary about it, nor any newsbreaking information .

In spite of this , applying the lessons from this course has helped me think in a different way and contributed it's small part in my journey towards self improvement

the delivery was well done just as in learning how to learn, my 3 star rating is only based on some points i don't fully agree with. Nevertheless it gives good insight for those considering a mindshift and those who didn't know it is possible to mindshift. Thank you to my both professors!! Job well done again.

Most of the material is a "B-Side" or review of the material from the far more superior "Learning How to Learn" MOOC which I have found very helpful. Also, some of the weeks are filled with "gap-filling" videos that have no real purpose for the overarching goal of the course.

Some concepts were really nice like importance of being slow learner,diffused/focused learning but other then that ,most of the things we regularly hear from our seniors like importance of mentor,reading books,defining goals etc.I expected something more out of this course.

Not nearly as good or informative as the previous course, Learning to Learn. Too vague, barely touches on the subjects I was hoping to receive more insight on such as career change and anything applicable to learning at a later age.

I really liked the first couple of weeks of this course, but weeks 3 and 4 were not all that interesting or informative. I found the precursor to this MOOC, learning how to learn, more engaging overall.

Interesting new psychological concepts that can help one learn their respective subjects better . But this is not a course where you get a new skill . It is for self improvement and development.

Precisava ensinar mais sobre técnicas importantes para manter o foco e o aprendizado. Aqui nesse curso explica mais como funciona o processo de aprendizado mostrando como o cérebro age e etc.

It's not a bad class, but it doesn't cover many new topics. Most people would be better served by taking the Learning How To Learn course, which I found to be far superior.

I love their "Learn how to Learn" course, and I learned a lot. But his course for me full of repetition. Probably if I had taken this course alone I can give higher rates.

Limited new materials from Learning how to learn. It's more like a self-help series than an educational course. Might be useful for those needing encouragement.

Too much focus on individual stories and not enough focus on research or strategies. Not as good as learning how to learn but still good. Would recommend.
