Best course I have taken on Coursera. Very deep concepts explained so well and in a manner such that anyone can understand so easily. Also, the optional interviews included are so inspiring and tells us many other things that we can apply in our lives to make it better and understand any concept in a better way.

Before reviewing this course, i thought it won't help me a lot, i have already got my University degree with a high grade " Medical college". but after getting this course, i found new valuable techniques to study more efficiently and it helped me way beyond what i have expected .

thanks for this precious course.

Really makes the difference for those who need to change their minds about what can they learn or achieve. Makes you understand with simple words how your brain actually works and what can you do to get the most out of it, also gives you the topics so you can continue learn about the techniques of your interest.

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken on Coursera. It's not only about learning the methods, tips to learn and study better but it's also a inspiration for learners who are not confident on their learning ability. I am so glad that I have chosen to take this course prior to my master's study program!!!

I didn't realize how much progress we have made (as a human race) about understanding the brain. This course really takes a lot of that information and make it into a practical usable way to learn, understand, and grow. Thank you for helping me understand that there are better ways to learn, retain, and apply.

The best course for all who want to learn new things. It helped me to figure out where I was doing wrong and how can I use my brain to learn new things in the best way. This helps even if you are not in love with the subject you are learning. The presentation of the course is amazing, peer assignments are great.

Great course, delivered in an original, fun and easy to grasp way

Helped me better connect the dots related to activities from my daily routine, understand what I'm doing wrong and how could it be better

It certainly imporved my daily performance, although I did't even take it from a student learning point ot view

I was always giving up on tougher subjects when I lost a flair for them. This course has taught me how to tackle tough subjects and also conquer them successfully. It has helped me not just in my e-course completion rates, but also helped me climb the career ladder faster. Thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terence.

Lighthouse in my life. (and way of learning) If possible great to have a traditional Chinese translation, instead of simplified Chinese. There is a big gap between the two types of Chinese for Mandarin / Chinese learners worldwide. (HK, Singapore, Taiwan... etc) Sometimes it could make misunderstanding for me.

This was one of the best material that I have study. It has been very helpful for me to go through to this material. Thank you for the effort to make this course available. Unfortunately, I am going through a lot of financial issues now since I recently loss my job and I am not able to purchase the certificate.

This is really a great course to learn how to learn. It is very powerful and helpful course for individuals, leaders, teachers, parents and students. Various concepts of brain working and how we store the information for short term and long term memories. Detailing in technique to improve your ability to learn.

As someone who did not go to college immediately after high school, I found this course to be an excellent refresher and teacher on effective learning. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, and will likely adopt some of the methodologies from this course into my work as a training coordinator. Thank you!

It is certainly a great course. It has changed my view of thinking and mastering. I can guide my students and teachers under my training through a new way to think and understand from a different angle. May Allah help the team leaders and members to provide quality education and training to the world community.

A great course - teaches one of the most important subjects that are rarely being thought: "How to learn?" It helped me realize some issues I've had with my current learning methods and gave me tools for tackling future learning problems.

Explained in a really simple enthusiastic and fun way. Highly recommended.

The course I was looking for to better my learning methods and to help my kids do their best in school. The teachers explain themselves in an optimum way, the videos don't last too long and are easy to follow even if I am not a native speaker. The tasks to accomplish are clearly explained. I really recommend it

Interesting and helpful course. Wise format, good lectures, memorable images. Lots of useful information presented in a pleasant, sometimes fun and always easy-to-remember way. Enough testing so you're sure you get the main idea and concepts. Don't miss the additional reading and interviews. They are great too.

I truly enjoyed this course, lots of helpful information and great tips/exercises to help with the learning process. This is a great course for anyone that is planning on learning anything, the concepts crossover to just about anything. I would like to thank the professors for putting this together and sharing.

Great primer course for any discipline. The material is well-designed, well-paced, and (for lack of a better word) joyful. There are many practical tips and techniques that I look forward to further ingraining as the weeks go by. I am grateful to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowki for their good work.

The course gave a great insight into how to learn. There are certain techniques that I've already been using, but many of them were new to me. The explanation of why some methods work and some don't was extremely clear.

Thank you for this great course, I will gladly use the lessons learned in my future learning.

I was skeptical about the course at first. The presentation seemed pretty old-school, although interesting. As the course progressed and I applied the theory and methods from the course I started learning far better and absolutely love the course! Perfect for anyone and everyone who embraces life-long learning.

This is an amazing course. It teaches easily a lot of tools to be a better learner, and explains the reason why they work. They even used the techniques on the course itself to make you learn better its contents.

Also Barb has a great attitude in all the videos, and Dr Terrence touch very interesting subjects.

:)

Short and crisp course that provided me with many insights that I did not previously know. Things I learned here will definitely help with things that I will be learning for the rest of my life. Thanks for the course instructors and the people behind the scenes for bringing out such a course for the learners.

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken and quite possibly, the most important. The insight, skills, and info I learned in this course are going to serve me for my entire life. I only wish I had taken this course sooner. If you are considering taking this course, do it NOW. You will be so glad you did!

It was the first online course I take and believe it's quite interesting. A variety of content , which mainly aid to develop some good habits about learning. I was impressed by the instructors , the videos , and the lectures. I advise anyone to take this course. I much appreciate you for this valuable courses.

I feel truly happy to have chosen this MOOC! Both of our lecturers, B. Oakley & T. Sejnowski gave extremely useful information on how we can actually LEARN HOW TO LEARN and how to make life-long learning one of the best experiences. I believe all educators and learners should join this course. Congratulations!
