I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

It is kind of opening my eyes to me on the link between long term memory and sleep. The course is well-conducted. The lecturers are very well-explained and the interviewed guests are very interesting.

A very insightful combination of memory techniques and science to help you understand how learning works and how to get better at it. It has been useful for me and I have already adopted some daily uses. The graphics and green-screen are well done and add nice visuals to help lock the content into your memory

This course is incredible. The presenters are wonderful, clear, articulate, smooth delivery. The use of the metaphors and analogies were EXCELLENT. I also like the way the quiz questions were designed. The videos were well-done, good amount of time for each one, has images, narrator, text, color- was engaging.

Wish I'd had a course like this when I was young! Nevertheless, the course was very informative, with a casual tone and friendly teachers. Concepts that are complex are broken down and you can make sense of the information easily. Can't wait to begin applying what I've learned to my "real" life. Thank you!

I'm only on the first week, and I started this class as an ABSOLUTE skeptic, but it really is helpful. I mean... I even feel like I knew a lot of this, and EVEN SO the class is illuminating, motivating, and truly feels like it's making a difference for me. I can't explain it, but I can definitely recommend it.

Taking this class has given me solutions to my biggest problems when it comes to learning and studying. If you are a person who is struggling with memorizing, studying, procrastination, and or anything really. I would highly recommend taking this class; you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain from doing so.

I am not even halfway done with finishing the course, but it is already helping me in learning. It is a shame that knowledge like this is not given to us at the very beginning of our education. That way a lot of human potential would not be lost like it currenty is being lost when children are sent to schools.

Great Course!
Very easy to understand and apply in daily basis.
I would recomend that If you're starting to participate in MOOCs courses and specialization, consider to include at the very begining to take this Course.
Barbara Oakley and her team did a good job preparing this amazing workshop.

Very informative and helpful. I learnt new skills and new interesting information. I was able to believe more in my learning ability. I was able to learn why certain things I already know are, in fact, important. I've gained some valuable skills which I am already putting in to practice now! Very worth-while.

I got to know a lot of interesting information about brains and how it works with respect to learning. Also I got to know that we are not doomed the day we are born, we can learn anything we want :) That is really important for me, because I want to try to learn absolutely new subject to me :) Wish me luck :)

it is really a helpful course for me. Learning new subjects effectively and change the leaning materials to long term memory is important in working environment, I think the requirement is not just limited the test in college. Grasping the learning skills and raise the good learning habits is benefit for life

This course has alot of valuable information in it. I was studying memory prior to this and had learned many of the techniques before this course but Learning How to Learn is still and great first step. I'm glad I worked this course and I look forward to building on this foundation with more Coursera courses.

A very well planned course. The videos are short, yet substantial and with very solid science behind. The whole structure of the program is a very good example of how to design an on-line course. I found it incredibly useful both for myself and for designing courses for my University. Very highly recommended.

I never knew I needed a learning reform! After enrolling in this course, I realized that there is something more to learning- it's not just coffee and long evenings. Overall, this course helped me a lot in my academic pursuit of attaining knowledge and internalizing its underlying concepts. Thank you so much.

I can't tell how much I enjoyed the course and the virtual meetings with Prof. Barbara Oakly and Prof. Terrence Sejnowski. With all the wisdom and inspiration they shared I am even a happier life-long learner now. What I can give in return is a wholehearted gratitude. This has been a fantastic course indeed!

I was a bad learner all my life and signed up for the course for some useful advices and practices. What I obtained is much more. It is not only about learning methods but also about practices that I can use in my work and private life. The learning materials and tests are very enjoyable. Thank you very much!

As someone who doesn't have the time for a formal education, I try to learn through my everyday experiences, no matter how ordinary or monotonous they may appear. This course opened my eyes to tips and tricks to make the best of my learning, regardless of the task I happen to be involved in. Thanks for the h

¡Excelente! El curso es realmente práctico, completamente actual y recomendable para cualquier estudiante, incluidos los autodidactas. La Dra. Oakley es amena, clara e informada en sus explicaciones. El Dr. Sejnowski acompaña las lecciones y el material optativo es útil y necesario. Imperdible, y es gratuito.
