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! :-)

A brilliant course for people of all ages, lifelong learners. Kudos to Barbara and Terry and team for putting this course together.

It is something that we think we know, but when you go through the course, many facts about learning are highlighted which are very important to know about learning and the process which are not taught in school!

I think the course is great as a practical guide to study with a flare of science. You won't be overwhelmed with scientific terms and results. But the advices will always be nicely explained and based on research you can later look into deeper on your own. I was cautious about this course, but now, after completing it, I highly recommend it.

I would recommend this course to everyone, in school, looking for a job or just to wanting to know more about how their brain works. It's helped me understand that everyone struggles, not matter how intelligent and perservirence, studying in small chunks and repitition over time are all things that help a person learn. Thanks for this class!

En estos tiempos de cambio tecnológico acelerado, independientemente del contexto socio económico de cada persona, estas técnicas que nos compartieron en el curso nos ayudan a Aprender nuevamente, con la esperanza de que la reinvención personal sea lo mas productiva en lo posible. Agradecido con esta oportunidad de aprender de mejor maneras.

Un excelente y valioso curso que enseña estrategias fundmentales de aprendizaje y crecimiento aplicable a la solucion de problemas de la vida humana y al desarrollo personal de las personas. Lo altamente lo recomiendo a cualquier persona porque saldra muy beneficiada de las enseñanzas del curso, explicado de forma clara, objetiva y sencilla.

It is an excellent course, excellent instructors. Although I am not a specialist in the complex concepts that the topics involve, the Doctors expose them in a simple way without losing objectivity or trivializing them. The bibliography is very complete and well directed. I just really appreciate the opportunity to participate in this course.

I feel myself in a classroom, having the best mentors instruct me and preparing me for this training. I can't wait to met them again, and i will definitely continuing to have my trainings with COURSERA. Thank you to Mrs. Barbara and Mr. Terrence, for there precious time doing this valuable training to all. My best Regards, and see you soon.

In this course, I learned more about advanced learning techniques and techniques I didn't know.Thank you to the professors for their very creative, colorful and easily sensible communication and lecture. a great recommendation for all future students because I believe that it will mean a lot to them both in their studies and in everyday life

Honestly one of the best things I've done for myself in a long time. My thanks to professors Oakly and Sejnowski for their excellent presentation and consistent positive good will. The course will teach you a great deal about how to pursue your educational goals with strategic, reasoned methods.

Thanks for this one, Coursera. I appreciate it.

A very powerful course to help students to do better to learn a skill or subject. This course is wonderfully oriented. It was enjoyable to watch and listen. I learned a lot from both professors. They are very talented and wise. Specially Miss Barbara is an excellent speaker. I hope everyone will do this course and get an idea about learning.

This course was amazing. In addition to teaching learning techniques, they also incorporated those techniques into teaching. The end result is that you learned how to learn even better.

I recommend this course to anyone pursuing I.T certifications were you often learn to pass the exams. But afterwards wondered where all that knowledge went.

This course should be taught to individuals pursuing a teaching credential. I wish I had this information when I began teaching 20 years ago. It would have been a benefit to my former students. My current students have received valuable tips. They have been using the techniques over the last few weeks and are showing tremendous improvement.

This course helps all the things we have to do before start to study. The pomodoro technique is interesting, it helps to control the procrastination. I love the importance of the process, always think about it and don't think about the product. The mindset is important too. We have to win our fears and especially always believe in ourselves.

Hats off to a great and well-rounded course (my first here on Coursera) with wonderful mentors, interesting tasks, useful tricks and info for studying and test-taking, and more! I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their learning methods or skills in any field, and also to anyone who values life-long learning. Cheers!

Frankly speaking I didn't think there will be anything useful for me to learn, but in this case I am pleasantly surprised. Concentrated and easy to acquire knowledge of how to deal with certain issues, unleash cognitive powers of ones brain and overcome "inner" couch potato monster with few simple tricks - can't wait to put it into practice!
