The amount of techniques that we get from this course help us not only throughout our learning processes but also can be considered life-changing skills: on the moment that we are able to recognise how our brain works, we become more aware on how to master it. I hope I can use those lessons on diverse areas of my life and career.

I really enjoyed this course, the first weeks took me more time to complete, but as I started using techniques that were recommended, then I could complete lectures and assignments on time but also having more time to relax. One of the things I really appreciate is the "focus on process instead of the product". Loved this course!

This was a great course. It was my second time attempting the course and I'm glad that I was able to finish it and learn from it. I had read A Mind for Numbers when I first attempted the course and enjoyed it. It will be good to revisit the learning tools in this course periodically to continue to help me become a better learner.

Great course to get the basics of learning methods. Even those who thought they were "in the know" on this topic will learn something new — especially through the supplementary interviews. It's also surprisingly funny, in a surprisingly non-pathetic way (i.e. not like "oh an academic is trying to be funny <eyeroll>) . Good stuff!

Brilliant course. It was an eye opener for me. I realized how many mistakes I had done in my life when trying to learn things. I think this course would be game changer in my life as I would 5X my speed of learning things. And knowledge and speed of learning is the prime ingredients to succeed. This course gives you super powers.

I have enrolled in this course to get some idea on how I could do better when I am writing my PhD thesis. As I went along, I felt I should have the privilege to enroll in this course years before, because that way my learning since then would be a lot more effective. Thanks for all who are involved in this course. Regards -- Riaz

Coursera has broadly openned by mind on using different techniques in learning old/new material. I loved all the examples that were given in each of the videos, which made it very easy to understand. I definitely recommend coursera to anyone who is willing to learn wether young or old, its great information for everyone to know.

Great course! Training materials (slides, abstracts) were carefully prepared and well explained. Test tasks and their deadlines were clearly defined. I'm sure this course stimulates everyone's intellectual development. In this course I learned a lot of useful things and enjoyed learning. I wish everyone success in their studies!

This is a very good course. Learning how to learn is an important mental tool for everyone, especially those who work in a fast-paced industry and need to learn new things every day. The material is simple and clear, it's easy to understand. And of course, the instructor is an expert in the field. Thanks to Barbara and Terrence.

I learned a lot from this course. The material is relevant and the course is not too long or too short. The instructors are very good and the material is well presented and easy to follow. I highly recommend this for high school students and above. And for older people like me who are "going back to school". Thank you Coursera!

It is a very useful course that helped me a lot about how to learn. the course has provided wonderful techniques to study in a more effective and productive way. Dr. Barbara helped us to learn about how our memory works and how to study any subject not just related to our already field of work but anything like math and science.

Often we misunderstand the method of learning the things in right way, and blame your mental capacity of being inefficient to grasp. This course will help you to explore to break your mental barrier and makes learning meaningful and endorse the feeling discovering the right way to learn.

Kudos the team for encrafting this course.

Very interesting and informative course! I `ve got a lot of helpfull tips and methods that can be applied in learning different things and type of knowledge.

PS: And I finally understood why solutions to problems sometimes pops in my head after they were really needed. And how to increase the possibility of them being on time.=)

This is an amazing course! I found many new techniques that helps me learn better! Some techniques of the course I was using for a long time, but didn't know how and why it worked. With that new knowledge I can use it on purpose.

I highly recommend it to anybody who need to learn something new.

...but who not in this day and age?

This was a wonderful course packed with valuable inormation presented in a swift and consistent way. I will probably revisit the material presented here while I implement the techniques on learning during my studies. Thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and everybody who contributed to delivery of this course.

This course guides you to overcome your weakness in any particular field which you find interesting, and will convince you that if you decide to learn something new, you can master it just by following simple learning steps and some helping tools. It will also help you overcome procrastination. Good Luck Learning How to Learn :)

Very insightful, credible, and well-researched! The course has helped me realized the wrong things I've been implementing when it comes to my study habits, while simultaneously helping me become a better learner. I have also learned many other concepts regarding neuroscience. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.

Thanks so much for this wonderful course. I'm a new coursera user so that was the very first course I took and I loved it! There's so much new helpful information I didn't know.Although I think the only problem with this course is it is only four- week course I'd love this course to be longer to get even more tools for learning!

Pienso que este tipo de cursos son muy importantes, si hubieran más cursos como este, mejoraría nuestro aprendizaje diario y la sociedad tendría mejor conocimiento en general del mundo que nos rodea. Pienso que este curso es muy importante para cualquier persona, de cualquier edad, para que mejore su modo de aprendizaje.

Gracias.

I have completed the first week of the course. I am fascinated by these brain facts, and examples of historical figures utilizing and understanding their thought processes! Watching the video lectures by Professors Oakley and Sejnowski is rewarding. They are smart and articulate, and I am powerfully improved by their example.

i thought this can help with my procastination, but actually this gives me a chance to look back and have reflection on my learning years, my method, learning habits, i would really like to take this course ten years ago and it would be of a great help.

as for my procastination, it took me 2 months to finish this course, so.....

Great course! I've always wondered about learning how to learn because in my country schools are not paying attention to how does a brain works or how does a human being understands a new subject efficiently. So, this course has answered a lot of questions that in my mind for a long time. I recommend this course to everyone. :)

This course is well organized with clear explanations of the material. It gives the scientific fundamentals as well as strategies to improve learning ability, in some sense it helps to understand why some "habits" work. Especially liked the optional interview, particularly with Scott Young and Nelson Dellis. Highly recommended.

It was just an amazing course. I went through a rollercoaster ride throughout this course as it helped me figure out where I was exactly going wrong and how I can correct myself now . I would really recommend people to join this course and the mentors are very knowledgeable , sweet and helping. It was worth it.

Thank-you team!

It was a really great course, For all the people who want 100% achievement in their academic goals, and learning new things and mastering it. The tips and tricks mentioned in this course also helps in improving problem solving, strategy making and understating learning human psychology, that can help you in every field of life.
