Learning How to Learn was the most professional and well-structured educational course I have ever had. The sublime cover of the material, strong scientific basis, professional attitude to bring citations everywhere to share extended resources, and of course smooth and confident presentation of Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski are noticeable. among all. I can see a great amount of hard work behind creating this MOOC and I appreciate all the experience shared through this course.

O Curso foi muito interessante. Fiz os meus trabalhos e tirei uma classificação final de 90%. Nos Peers Assessment corrigi e classifiquei 8 trabalhos, em vez dos 3 requisitados. O Curso foi por vós oferecido após eu o ter solicitado e foi aprovado. Mas até hoje ainda não recebi o vosso Certificado. Se me ofereceram o Curso e tirei uma nota excelente porque não me enviam o dito Certificado? Eu não tenho possibilidades de o pagar.... Agradeço o favor da vossa especial atenção.

This course has given me insights on how to improve my learning techniques to help me better understand what I'm trying to learn. I really enjoyed how the instructors explained the materials. Everything was easy to understand and I have been implementing some of the methods or techniques I find effective for me, such as the Pomodoro technique and the spaced repetition. Thank you very much for this wonderful course! I can't stress enough how I recommend this course to anyone.

Outstanding! This is the first Mooc you should take. It will set a new, and firm foundation for learning, retaining, and re-examining how you learn. It reveals how the mind works, and how many of the old ways we were taught to learn aren’t nearly as effective as we thought. Dr Barb Oakley and Dr Terry Sejnowski are so extremely relatable and informative. Love them! After this class, you might really enjoy “ Mindshift “, by them. Waiting for more...hint,hint...Barb and Terry.

I would recommend this course for everybody. Even if you may not struggle with learning in overall, I believe this course will teach you how to learn more effectively, how to remember things better and longer, and maybe answer your unasked questions... Learning how to learn taught me few amazing tips which I will be using in feature. This course also open my eyes in certain things and give me new insight to a lot of material in terms of learning. Thank you, for this course.

Firstly, I would like to thank Dr.Terrence sejnowski and Dr.Barbara Oakley for sharing something which is the foundation of learning which provides a content worth learning by every single being.The best part what I found was that along with the verbal explanation it is very well illustrated which goes very well with our understanding the concept in a better way.I highly appreciate the background work and would recommend others to get benefited from this course.Thank you.

I've learned many things in the course. The insight on the two different modes of thinking is important in learning as I would know that being relaxed and just taking the time away (diffused mode) away from the material can help solidify the concept in the brain. Study habits and even motivation that even the less brilliant can achieve great things is definitely enlightening.

This course have bring wonders to me, and would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

The speaker's Barbara and Terry make the course very interesting, the personalities involved and the videos shown throughout the course have been carefully selected and give their actual/current experiences about their techniques used to learn and apply the new knowledge in all types of businesses.

I want to thank Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski for the time they took to create this course that will help many new students and old students like myself.

Sincerely

This course was really well presented with lots of references and examples. I was already familiar with most of the principals and techniques discussed and yet I feel like a really learned a lot. The important thing really is to actually apply these concepts in all your studies, make them habitual, and that can only come from practice, persistence, consistency and determination. This course was well worth my time and I also found the in-course interviews quite fascinating.

Learning How to Learn is a wonderful subject and is taught greatly by professor's of McMaster University. I would like to thank them for creating such a wonderful course. I did all the mentioned activities and assignments and understood the importance of the way you learn. I have learned a lot of useful techniques from the course which will surely help me learn more effectively. Infact, I have started implementing a few of them already - starting with Pomodoro Technique :)

Thank you so much to Prof. Barb Oakley, Prof. Terry Sejnowski and the Learning How to Learn Team. The quirky humor combined with the useful techniques taught in the course have helped me better understand my learning tendencies. Not only that, my oh-so-persistent habit of procrastination has now been reduced to the brainsize of the zombies of this course. Big thanks to the Pomodoro technique, I kept my procrastination zombie controlled and mostly asleep.

Thanks again guys!

The first course in Coursera that I have completed is this. I have used many MOOCs like edX,NPTEL,Futurelearn. But no one provide such high quality online courses like Coursera. "Learn How To Learn" course is the best one to show how MOOCs(Coursera specially) do great job.

After enrolling this course, I have also purchased the book "A mind for numbers". This is really wonderful. The book really changed my learning way and the course ignite me to utilize the MOOCs life long.

This course is my very first one on Coursera. It provides all the helpful learning tips, scientifically proven, in a fun and easy-to-understand way. I love how the course is designed with short videos and quizzes. The quiz questions are very helpful in recalling the info. I also love how the assignments are designed. All the modules--videos, quizzes, homework, optional reading--were designed with one purpose, i.e., to help the audience learning better. Thank you very much!

I really enjoyed the course. Both professors, Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski, made the course interesting and easy to follow. It made me realise that already implementing small things in the learning process can make all the difference. I found the additional interviews with other experts also very valuable - to learn from their journey has been an inspiration. And finally it is nice to know that all this not just good advice, but it is also backed up with science.

Básicamente éste Curso es muy instructivo acerca de Técnicas asertivas y practicas que se pueden implementar de manera rápida. He aprendido nuevas herramientas para seguir aprendiendo, y me ha ayudado en mi proceso, de preparación en mi Carrera de Administración que estoy cursando, a pesar de que ya tengo cerca de cincuenta años, ha sido muy estimulante conocer estas estrategias de estudio y aprendizaje, las cuáles voy a poner en acción en diferentes aspectos de mi Vida.

first, I would like to thank Dr.Barbara Oakley and Dr.Terrence Sejnowski for their effort to make the information very simple to the beginners like me. it the first time for me to attend an online course but it was not difficult and I enjoy that very much. I would like to recommend this powerful learning machine for all students to begin their education life with the basic steps of this course. I learn a lot from this course and I will implement it with my daily routine.

The course information was easy to understand, but highly beneficial for anyone who would like best practices in learning how to learn. Whether this information is for someone who is interested in life-long learning opportunities or for students there were many ideas shared that would help people actually learn information vs. just remembering it for short periods of time. As a wise person I know often says, "The ideas are simple; they are not easy, but they are simple!"

One of the finest learning experiences I have EVER had. Not only was the content outstanding but the elearning format was used with a skill beyond anything I had seen before. I will review every course turned out by this provider in the hope of having another first rate learning experience. Oh, oh, one more thing the listing of sources was a wonderful addition. There are several topics where i would like to research further.

WHAT A WONDERFUL EDUCATIONAL OFFERING!!!!!!

Some topics like rereading helped me realize that it is not effective and makes me forget the topic and lead to illusions of competence. Pomodoro technique is really effective that helps me focus to process. Chunking got my interest and wanted to apply this while learning. I tought neurons never born everyday. They can survive by doing physical exercise. I learned much. Really.

Thank you very much for this course to the nth power. Really helpful. 10 / 5 for this course.

This is an excellent course to take for any student. Simplified concepts that are easy to comprehend are neatly organized to hold your focus to teach you the ropes on teaching yourself.

I have reconfigured my own way of approaching materials I would like to learn and have gain great confidence in my own learning capability.

This course is not only recommendable for anyone who is enthusiastic about learning, but also to people who would like to improve their way of life.

As an older student, I found this course very helpful. I learned new techniques and learned why the ones I was using, weren't helping much, if even at all. Learning the science behind the techniques really helped me understand why some learning techniques work and why many techniques don't work at all. Tackling going back to school in my forties has had it challenges, but with what I have learned, I feel confident that I am capable of learning what I am trying to learn.

I believe this course should be mandatory for any curriculum that is high-school level and up. How many of us have asked ourselves, "why do I even have to learn this?" Well, this course puts things into different perspectives that allows you to fully understand why curricula are set up the way they are, how YOU learn as an individual, and it offers a myriad of tips and tricks to help improve that learning process. This course is a must! A big thank you to the creators!

As a working adult, I found this course to be incredibly insightful. I wish I took this class when I was younger. There are so many things I did wrong in my early learning life that made learning hard for me. I'm using the methods taught in this course in my daily life to learn new things. And I've started sharing these tips with my 8 year old and have seen positive results. Do no underestimate the power of 25 minutes of focus time and you mind in diffuse mode. Amazing.

This was an excellent course that provides a lot of insight into how your brain retains information and thinks, but does so using easy-to-understand images and metaphors, so you'll soak everything up like a sponge in no time. It also offers some excellent tips against procrastination, which is useful for just about anybody. Even if you're not actually learning about anything, I recommend everyone to check out this course to learn some great habits to improve one's life.

Every week after going through different techniques I wondered I was using half of it unknowingly but had not identified it as the cause behind my good performance in my studies. This course has helped me understand the reasons behind the use of these techniques and how it effects our neural structure. So, it would help me in future to learn tough concepts easily and apply those concepts in the real world. Thank you Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski for this course.
