So glad to be studying this course. I am very grateful to the prolific materials this course provided. All interviews provided new ways and thoughts about everyday life. Finally finished my first course on Coursera, I hope more to come thanks to all the studying methods. Thank you again and wish you all the best!

This course has definitely made me think introspectively at how best I learn as well as the many valuable items to use to better learn and understand the subjects that I both enjoy learning as well as those that I did not enjoy from the past.

I look forward to continue my learning through the many Coursera courses.

Wonderful course that explains the neuroscience of how to learn successfully regardless of the subject. It supplies different methods along with the science and data to back it up. The interviews were insightful as it allowed you see how passionate some of the experts. I learned a lot and plan to keep on learning!

I love this course, I´m into learning& teaching & neuroscience in education,then this course was really helpful to counterbalance my previous knowledge of the topic.It is really good if you want to learn how to study better and at the same time to undertand how to take advantage of our different modes of thinking.

Very useful course with great optional readings and interviews to supplement your material. Core knowledge is good enough too but that little bit of extra really helps. This is stuff I'll definitely be using years from now so I'm glad I took this course as it'll affect pretty much everything I do from here on out.

As a psychology major I was already familiar with most materials covered by the course before I took it, but Dr. Oakley did a wonderful job by making everything so approachable and attractive as well as creating a really friendly learning atmosphere. Definitely I will come back to these videos again in the future.

It was well-worth taking this course. It has shown the foundations of effective and stressless learning process. Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski proved that it is vital to focus on studying process, not on the product of the studies. Only this way we can further proceed in our educational and professional lives. 10/10.

It was a very meaningful experience. From the beginning I started to learn and apply the many ideas that the course bring to me. I liked the way that the instructors made easy to learn so complex concepts. The strategies and exercises are excellent and challenging, I am going to apply them for the rest of my life.

Powerful and easy techniques for learning.

Confirms and perfects some of the techniques we learnt in earlier years as a student and beginner.

Animations are funny and powerful . Weekly course summary are short and effective.

Recommended for everyone who want to learn and learning in life never stops!!! Good work.

I would strongly recommend this course to each and every individual who would like to improve their learning techniques and increase the LTM capacity. It clearly states all techniques to attain the desired outcome by making us understand how our brain functions rather than simply focusing on the techniques itself.

I've learnt so much about study techniques that work and the ones that don't. I was able to identify with most of the methods that does not work as it were methods that I personally used. I am eager to start learning other courses and applying what I've learnt in this course to see how my study habits would have i

Fantastic course to understand how well we can make use of various techniques, avoid obstacles to learn any topic. It also deals with the power of human brain. surely these techniques will help build the self-confidence of an individual when they are able to concentrate and make the best use of the mental agility.

A detailed, knowledgeable and generally awesome free course which really helps you to understand what goes on behind the scenes when learning and how you can be a more effective learner. The content is great and Barbara is a fantastic lecturer. I wish I had taken this course prior to university! Highly recommend.

Very useful, powerful and practical techniques to help you get better at learning, including some counter-intuitive approaches that you probably wouldn't have been able to figure out by yourself. Barbara and Terry are wonderful course instructors, and their approach really help me understand much of the material.

It was immensely helpful to have such a wider perspective on the topic. There were many aspects that was quite new to me. Earlier I had the fear of learning harder topics but this course gave me confidence to try a totally different way of looking into problems and simultaneously grasping harder items. Thank you.

The course has changed my mentality. It isn't so focus on the act of learning itself, but instead give useful tips to less procrastinate, be more efficient, how to retain information better etc.

It is well structured, and I think that it is more impactful than watching bunch a self improvment videos on Youtube :)

This is the best MOOC of the world not of coursera only. I actually improved my CGPA and my understanding of the stuff I study through this MOOC. Both the trainers are the best in the field. This course is a must for every learner of any age group on this planet. I cannot thankyou guys enough. Love from Pakistan.

It was very fortunate that i found this course, im very thankful for both the instructors and their team. Its very much valuable information regarding how our brain works that i got to know from this course and i have started to share the knowledge and implement it with people. Thank you all very very much.....

Our brain doesnt come with instruction manual. But this course gives an insight of how brain works and what techniques you can use to trick procrastination. I am implementing the techniques in these courses and I feel a lot happy with life now. Its worth the effort listening to these lectures. Highly recommended.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity of learning one of the most beautiful subjects I have come to know: Learning How to Learn. Barbra Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski are not only great scientists and explores, but have the gift to teach and reach into the hearts of those who truly search for their guidance.

Incredible, made me actually start studying other things and do work over the summer rather than being lazy and just sitting around all day. Would recommend to anyone struggling with procrastination and other problems along those lines. Really open your view on learning and is incredibly helpful and motivational!

This course really helped me to analyse myself. Now I can master my tough subjects. It has highlighted all small details which I missed while learning. Focused & diffused modes are important & I implemented the pomodoro technique including other advises in my learning process. I recommend this course to everyone.

This is information everyone needs to know. I used to feel so much frustration, doubt, and anxiety when I would try to learn something new. Now, I realize, it wasn't because I was stupid or slow, but that I wasn't studying in a way that helped my brain grasp new material.

Thank you so much for making this course.

This course is really fun, the material is packaged in an effective way of learning. Prof. Barb Oakley's presentation of learning materials is easy to understand. thanks prof Barb Oakley and Terry Sejnowski. they are really talented teachers, maybe I need to learn more with them because learning with them is fun

Very interesting, all claims are based in research. The lessons are short and focused. Help me broaden my awareness about the different learning styles. Now I accept that I'm a slow learner and that can actually be an advantage in some situations. The learning techniques are usually easy to understand and apply.
