"Learning how to Learn" was a very interesting and enjoyable a course. A definite recommendation for those who want to improve their abilities to learn, be it a beginner or someone well versed in the arts of learning. The information was very helpful and easy to digest, and the suggested readings are well worth the read!

I took this class prior to any others on coursera because I wanted to make sure I would get as much as I could out of these courses. I'm glad I did. Using many of the techniques they suggest I have been able to study and retain much of the information I have been learning. I wish I had known about this many years ago!

The course is quite easy to grasp and understand. Many of the material offered seems to be simple and relatively logical. However, it alludes us to put all of these concepts into one course/material in order to be consciously aware on how to effectively and efficiently learn. Definitely a great course that I recommend !

Exceptional material and exceptional explanations. I will over it many times again. Thank you so much for putting this up for free. As a color note, the videos and style have this very funny '80s look to them. I really thought they were filmed in the '80s and shocked when I learned it was actually somewhere around 2014.

Learnt a lot from this course!!!!!

1) Where I stand and where to improve upon.

2) Pomodoro will help in building a better overall structure.

3) Study techniques that were new to me.

4) Remembering things gets a lot easier.

5) The advantages of repetitive testing.

6) Become a better test taker.

Thank you very much Coursera!!!!!

Great course, It helped me a lot with realizing the weaknesses I have in learning, The techniques I learned will also help in normal, everyday tasks. It was truly a great experience, and I'm grateful for getting to do this course. Huge thanks to Professors Oakley and Sejnowski, they did a great job building this course.

I love this course, because giving me some new insights that useful to improve my ability to learn something new, something i want to master. but, i have a little bit complain bout the quality of the sound of the video, that i found some of them is hard to be heard. Overall it is good, i suggest you to take this course.

It´s a great course, I learned many tips that helped me to really understand what I'm learning and everything with a scientific method. The teachers are really good and explain quite well the material, they suggest other books, websites and provide many links to interesting readings about brain and the process of learn.

I read a lot about neuro science and trie and apply it as best possible in my working career and as a manager of a small business

This course gets the balance between scientific foundation and practical application just right!

Exceptionally informative. Will incorporate in training of our business intelligence consultants

An incredible course that presents a powerful tool kit for learning, understanding ideas, topics and picking up skills. Since learning is a never ending journey through life, there are not too many better ways to spend your time. This is a meta skill that should precede any and all other goals that one hopes to achieve.

What an excelent class! super dinamic, Barbara is a really good teacher and I will say that a good influencer in order to motivate people who think that learn or memorice something is the most difficult thing on the world. Thanks a lot your tips and lessons help me a lot to keep concentrate in my studies and my projects

Very powerful and explicit especially very for persons who understood that to make this world a better place requires better and an excellent grasp of knowledge. Learning How to Learn gives you that mental capacity to learn more effectively since you cannot think on what you don't know.

Thanks, I'm truly enjoying myself.

Fantastic course! A lot of material and a lot of thinking to be done. Between the lines there is so much more than what it seems.. only practice can internalize such simple but proven-to-be-the-best techniques thought in this course and bring incredible improvements. So start practicing immediately and.. enjoy the ride!

This course is essential in the process of learning and understanding how our minds and bodies react to the process of learning. I've gathered information that I can carry with me throughout the rest of my life and career. Thank you to all the great professors and speakers for putting this course and concept together.

I think this course it's very good for anybody. New concepts are added in a friendly way, easy to remember. The videos are short so that you can watch them in different days if you don't have time to watch all of them in one day. I am very grateful that I found this course because it helped me so much with my learning.

I think everyone should take this amazing course, because it's very wise to learn how to learn before you dive into learning blindly. Also, the professors in the lectures are very inspiring and fun. The course is very well organized itself. Also, there are many extended learning materials waiting for me. Come and join!

Amazing course!

Now, just to say (but this comment is regarding the Coursera certificates) it would be great if they can put the amount of hours that were taken in every course in the certificate, some goverments and companys in other countrys validate the course only if the certificate shows the amount of hours of it.

Très utile lorsqu'on n'a pas appris depuis longtemps et qu'on a le sentiment de ne plus savoir faire ! Des outils pratiques pour lutter contre la procrastination, et la valorisation des temps de créativité (sport, sommeil, activités diverses...) à une époque où on assimile parfois ces temps ... à de la perte de temps !

The 'Best course' on effective learning, I've found so far online.

The information and techniques presented in the course, are very effective in every phase of life.

I truly appreciate the great efforts made by the instructors and all the people involved towards building such a nice informative and innovative course.

This course is well organized. The concepts and techniques are patiently illustrated by the teacher. Some of the optional interviews are also very helpful. I really appreciate the one with Keith Devlin. Thank you Mrs. Oakley for this wonderful course which is a true instruction manual for how to use our brain to learn!

Very useful course! Specially if you are in school or college, but good for anyone! Very practical, interesting and inspiring, great tips. I enjoyed it very much. Now I have a very clear idea of how to study to learn (not to just pass a test) and I will be able to help my son very soon with these techniques. Thumbs up.

I found this extremely helpful. I recently retired at 73, but this has given me the impetus to continue to give it a try to work in a consulting capacity. It is just another challenge in life, but thanks to the course, it will be a little more enjoyable. Thank you for all the ideas, that will help me in the future.

This course is incredible for any caliber of students, but I would personally suggest it more for high school students because it sets you up with positive studying habits that will help you survive the terrain of higher education, the instructors are lovely and the material is well-prepared and thoroughly researched

For students, reskilling employees, researchers, and even aged individuals who are willing to get into a new path of knowledge and experience, this course is a meaningful choice. I don't want to overpraise but it will give a new reform to your learning methods and habits. Thank you Dr.Barbara, and thank you Dr.Terry .

I am many years beyond my formal education and at an earlier point, about 15 years ago, thought I would be hard pressed to take on new learning tasks. I have been pleasantly finding out that I can still be a decent student, and this course has helped me considerably. Thanks very much to the teachers and other staff.
