Great course! Should be taught prior to HS/College so students can understand best habits to really learn the material and ingrain it in long term memory rather than short term or working memory. Especially loved the content on procrastination and the "Pomodoro technique". Thanks Barbara and everyone at UCSD who made this course happen!

Learning How to Learn is a great course. It taught me a lot more about procrastination and taught me a lot of really good study techniques. I am a 12 year old 7th grader and I really enjoyed Learning How to Learn. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be a more effective learner. Thank you to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

This really was an exceptional course, with a great balance of useful and practical tips for learning and information about how we learn. The concepts in this class aren't just limited in usefulness to learning. I've been using these techniques (especially the Pomodoro) to be more productive at work. Great job Drs. Oakley and Sejnowski!

I have never given a course five stars, and did for Learning How to Learn. The reason is because the topic can be used to strengthen so many situations (school, work, sleep). This course is helpful not only to me, but my family, which include two teenagers. There are so many resources to connect with and learn more about the topics.

Brilliant journey into how our brain operates when we are studying new subjects or acquiring information from the world outside.

A lot of interviews with interesting people who share their own techniques of memory training, studying and struggling with procrastination.

Easy to understand and worth applying in your real study activities!

Great, Love the mental skills covered. chunking,brainstorming you can lear so great teqniques. I did not like the peer graded assiments because no one grades them so are out 2 years without grades with the was an auto pass if over 6 months without a grade. however, this class was hard and challenging I felt like I learned a new skill.

I'm impressed. When I first started the course, I had low expectations as I would of most self-help literature. Fortunately, the videos were often comical and there was a lot of empirical research done to enforce all the learning strategies. It was interesting to follow and I am looking forward to applying these strategies in my day-to

ESTE CURSO ME AYUDADO A ENTENDER LA CANTIDAD DE HERRAMIENTAS QUE EXISTEN PARA APRENDER MEJOR ME HE IDENTIFICADO CON MUCHAS DE MIS DEFICIENCIAS Y GRACIAS AL CURSO YA SE COMO CONFRONTARLAS ESTOY MUY AGRADECIDO CON LOS DESARROLLADORES DE ESTE CURSO Y TODOS LOS PROFESIONALES QUE PARTICIPARON APORTANDO SU GRANO DE ARENA CON SUS ENTREVISTAS.

As I started the course, I felt quite funny that I want to learn how to learn..i had preconceived notion that I might know how to learn properly, but as I went through the course I came to know about various interesting learning techniques and mind training techniques like Pomodoro, mind palace and lot more. really an awesome course!!!

"Brains do not come with an instruction manual. So we have to write one ourselves" -- Dr. Terry Sejnowski.A beautiful course that teaches you a vital life skill -- effective learning -- through engaging instructors who explain the material by breaking down important concepts into concise, to-the-point videos with helpful illustrations.

Before this course I didn't know how our brain works and what techniques can help in better learning. I was an A student, hold a masters degree, but with everything I've learnt by taking this course will help me in future to master anything faster and greater. I strongly recommend this course to everyone! It will broaden your horizons!

This is a basic course for any student who starts learning in true sense. In my opinion, presentation of content was very simple and easy grasp but with huge impact.

I will not only adopt these techniques in my life, but also teach them to everyone around me. Definitely suggest this course to them if they want to learn more about them.

Excellent course but taking it just begins The Path to self improvement. The course will provide the tools and resources but it's no magic bullet and one has to apply what one has learned in a purposely progressive way and be persistent! Every journey begins with a single step, and learning how to learn is one giant leap for brainkind!

I really enjoyed this course and found the way it was structured with short lessons that had relevant content a great way to study. The course gave you varied learning techniques that were repeated to make each lesson more solid.

I recommend this course and will defiantly look to see if the same tutors have any other courses available.

This is one of the best course, specially for those who are struggling in their studies or any other task and not getting result of their efforts. It is also helpful for those who want to enhance their learning skills. The course addresses many core issues that we as a learner are not aware of and provides techniques to deal with them.

A really useful Course - why didnt they give us this at school when I was aged 14? It could have saved me 30 years of frustration - This should really be mandatory for all students prior to their exams, not only do you find out why and how you struggle with difficult concepts and explaining them, but a complete toolkit on how deal with

I hope taking this course ten years before. I have learned many things, many techniques. I'm watching the lessons again and again. Actually prepare to take some courses on a new field, I'm recalling Learning How to Learn's tips to make my learning process effective. Thank to Mrs.Oakley! Love Learning team with all the Friday greetings.

Fue un curso fantástico. El material se presentaba de manera clara y consisa, y los examenes estaban formulados de tal modo que necesitabas pensar detenidamente cada problema para saber qué respuesta era la indicada. Además, las técnicas de estudio y, en general, los datos que presentaba, eran útiles para estudiar el curso en sí mismo.

I wish I had this course available when I was starting to learn. This courses provides a approach to learning any area one is interested or required to learn. Madame Curie said "Nothing is to be feared but understood...". This subject makes understanding something new easier so that we don't fear the new but enjoy the learning process.

Very helpful course, not only for students, but for any kind of learners. It is good to know how things work behind the scenes (here - in our brain..), and get some simple but effective tools to manage better with learning processes. Built from short videos, you can learn bit by bit, and practice the tools while learning how to learn..

This course is perfect for anyone looking to improve their learning skills. It provides learners with the necessary tools to efficiently tackle difficult subjects. Through engaging lectures, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of how their brains process information, and learn how to optimize their learning experience.

I hadn't attempted to learn anything for >20yrs years and this course was a fantastic start. I'm now doing well in 3rd year Civil Engineering and still often utilize concepts learned in this course. I think it could be useful for many areas of study. Also, this course was much better structured than some MOOC's that I've come across.

I loved this class. I am planning on going back to the videos and refresh as needed. I wish I had learned this a long time ago. It teaches the tools to become a better learner. I also want to add that as a parent of small children, I want to pass this knowledge along to them so they can develop better study skills early on. Thank you!

As a BA, MS, DO, and more certificate holder person, this course really helped me to understand how I learned, how I can continue to learn in a better way, and how to structure my presentations for other adults to learn. Highly recommended to understand and make actionable advances in neuropsychology.

This was worth my time invested.

Coursera's Learning How to Learn class provided me insight into how to learn more efficiently, and what I was doing that simply doesn't work. Additionally, the explanation of why people procrastinate and how to work through it made the course invaluable, not only to studies but in my career as a software developer. Highly recommended.
