This course helped me a lot on realizing what I was missing and the real mistake that I've ever made. By fixing my cognition in learning, it gave me a better chance to study and retain more than ever.

With this short course, I was able to discover new ways of learning whatever topic or concept I want, even if I'm not initially good at it. I'm very thankful that I have learned how to learn the right and effective way. I also appreciate the interactive way of learning because of the videos, quizzes, and my virtual classmates.

Thanks Barbara for your time and efforts to make this course accesible for everyone. I have been trying to learn many things over the years. But, this makes my life very easy to learn with your techniques. I regret it not knowing these techniques from my college days. As the quote says "Better late than never".
Cheers....

This brief course provided me plenty of practical tools to enhance my learning and studying, as well as to avoid illusions of competence. I particularly enjoyed the lectures in the first and the third weeks, though the whole series of lectures are extraordinary helpful. Also, the optional videos are great and very encouraging.

This is an excellent course for anyone and everyone. I will be recommending to all my friends and kids to learn about the concept of learning. If we all know how to learn effectively, I believe we will overcome one of the fears we all have in life. Learning. Will I become good at that thing? This course answers that and more.

Great class to take before embarking on a journey to learn new subjects. Taking this class has tremendously helped with my motivation when learning how to program for the first time. Highly recommend it to anyone. Especially helpful to those taking online courses, since it is hard to keep studying at times when we hit a wall.

At any stage in life, this course helps us understand our physical and psychological selves. Together with tools offered to make the best use of our bodies and minds, one can get ready to tackle topics that are new to us. I totally enjoyed learning the tools and was surprised to learn so much about our brain.
Fantastic course!

Barbara Oakley patiently, intelligently, and quite effectively explains the growing body of science of memory, learning, and how to master the process. It seems heavily oriented toward college students, but even this 52-year-old working professional will benefit from applying the techniques described in this Coursera. Dig in!

Some topics are very well known by teachers and are told to every student, but It's nice to see a more deep explanation on how our minds work when they are learning and I really appreciate being taught these tricks to help our minds to learn from such knowledgeable academics and researchers like Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrence .

Me ha sido de mucha utilidad, me gusta mucho aprender, y este curso me ha dado muchas herramientas para hacerlo más eficaz y eficientemente, aún sin haberlo terminado (por cuestiones de tiempo porque mientras termino mi carrera universitaria, pero lo terminaré y lo repetiré para reforzar los conocimientos adquiridos).
Gracias.

This is one of the most important courses that I have taken for my entire life, I will try in the future to design a similar course because many people don't have these successful skills taught in this course, I am highly appreciating Dr. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski for their dedication and helpful tips and tricks.

I took this course out of curiosity. I ended up learning much more than I anticipated and it will be quite a while before I can integrate all that I learned. I very much recommend this class. The instructors are nice and clear, the material is interesting and well rounded, and the tests helps you integrate the materials.

This course was excellent! It was so good I stopped another course I was taking to focus on this course (so I could go back to the other course and future courses to study/learn better!)
I can objectively say this course has been very useful and I will work to integrate what it teaches going forward in my studies and at work.

The Masterpiece of the Guide on learning how to learn.
Especially the teacher like Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski is the best teachers in the course. The course completely overviews the process of learning and helps you learn strategies for your life by changing the perspective of seeing through the tools on learning.
