I wish I had watched this earlier. It fundamentally changed the way I approach learning. I am so grateful for both of the instructors – their love for learning was loud and infectious. I found this course to be easy to digest, informative, and entertaining. It is by far the best MOOC I have taken so far.

This is the first time ever I have attended a full online course and has been taking it seriously. Well done preparation of the course. I immersed with every lessons of her (Prof. Babara Oakly) Thanks for the course again. Would love to be influenced more by Prof. Babara Oakly and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski!

I think that this course is one of the best I learned. I highly recommend it for everyone. In this course you know some of wrong ways to learn and solution for them to improve your skills through understanding how to memory work. Beside, you also know the role of relaxation and entertainment in studying.

Excelente curso para la vida, los profesores enseñan muy bien, uno se da cuenta que durante la vida uno nunca ha aprendido como debe ser, ahorita uno ya no piensa que es bobo sino que nunca a aprendido como debe ser, gracias a este curso por motivarme a aprender y a mejorar la confianza en mi memoria !!!

Excellent course with simple to use techniques that helps in learning. The course instructors were superb. In very easy to understand language they explained the concepts of the how the process of learning works and how the mind can be trained to learn better. Many thanks to Professors Barbara and Terry.

It was great.l really enjoyed it. I have attended many such sessions for the guidance of my students but some of the tips were very amazing like attempting the paper from hard to easy questions and revising the paper from back to front and the reasons were logically justified .It was superb.Thanks a lot.

Highly recommend this course for everyone. It provides great insights into your own learning style and shares great tips and methods to "Learn how to Learn" to achieve better results in everything you do. No matter how young or old, everyone will be able to have find something useful and benefit from it.

I think that this course is something that should be taught and emphasized on early in the college career. It has concepts that are necessary for success. I feel that if this course was available to me when I was in undergrad, I would've excelled much more and probably would've been able to tack on more.

Thank you so much! It has been amazing to watch and read all this scientific content. Not just for students but for anyone who would like to adopt a life long learning habits, this course is a true treasure. I really liked the illustrations and how calmly Barbara presents the material. Thank you so much!

This course concisely debunks every major issue associated with learning. The professors are engaging, kind, and funny. Learning How To Learn has inspired the confidence in me to continue my academic career after years away from college. Thank you so much for making this information available for all!

Excellent (especially Dr Oakley; really easy to listen to, cadence and attitude encouraged me to continue with the course till the end). Useful tools, useful introduction to the science underpinning the tools and observations. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning something new and complex.

An absolutely life changing course. I am so lucky to have found out about this - not only has it helped to re-spark my passion in learning, it has helped me in my academic career to relearn and understand concepts that were once difficult for me. Thank you to both wonderful teachers for this opportunity!

This is an amazing course. Learning is made very easy by the tools shared in this course. Dear Procrastinators and all others who think they are studying hard, please do this course. Actually each and every person should enrol for this course as it helps improve day to day life. Thank you for the course.

A real masterpiece. Didn't have high expectations initially. But as the course progressed, I witnessed one of classic training sessions. Right content and terrific presentation. I would highly recommend this course. Being an aspiring writer, this course was highly useful to me. Expecting more in future.

Loved the course. Learned many tricks for learning things fast and understanding them deeply. I'm pretty sure this course has changed how I'm going to learn new subjects/skills in future.

If you are planning to make MOOCs or some other skill, then this course is a must to extract more out of limited time.

Every one must study this course,

In this course I understand about how my brain works and the scientific way to create the t longerm memory.

Learning about chunks , working and diffuse mode of brain , deliberate practice , recall , overlearing , illution of competence ,procastination are interesting ...

I thought this course was very informative...and entertaining. The presenters provided a great deal of information in a very easy to understand style and used a variety of examples and videos. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in understanding various methods that can be employed in learni

I learned so many useful things in this class. It's a meta-class. How to learn is not something you see very often. I've shared the link with all my friends. Anyone who thinks of themselves as a lifelong learner, and anyone taking classes after a break away from school, will really appreciate this class.

Amazing MOOC! Barbra makes understanding how the brain works so easy! The course is filled with great examples and with a very easy language. I feel like I learnt stuff that I will use for the rest of my life... so thank you Barbra and the people of Coursera for this great tool for learning how to learn!

The course is really helpful. After learning you will have a general picture on how the brain works(the diffuse mode and the focus mode)(The working memory and the long term memory)(Some basic neuron science)...........I really learned a lot. Thank you Professor Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski. :)

The only negative thing I can say is that this course was not available when I was younger! I am grateful to Barbara and Terrence and their team for providing such a wonderful learning experience. At 43 years of age I have finally learned how to learn. And this is outstanding thing to say by an educator!

I'd not use the term the best course ever, but instead I must say that this course is one of the greatest and important courses in the Coursera platform. In my opinion, every student regardless of his field of specialization should follow this course to increase the effective learning methods of his own.

A must-take course for serious learners who are either planning to study something or are already on their learning journey. This course will give you the mental tools to tackle tough obstacles with confidence and get to know how to make the most of the power of your mind to learn and acquire knowledge.

This course helped me become more focused in my studies by utilizing Pomodoro and diffuse mode techniques. All the content, from beginning to end, is reinforced with logical explanations and examples to help create retention and build new healthy habits. I have recommended this course to others as well.

Great journey! I really enjoyed reading and learning more about the brain and the most effective strategies to use it.

Thank you for the clarity and the amazing resources you provided.

I will certainly try to share the main ideas with my young students so the they can benefit and enjoy learning forever.
