I would like to say Barbara Oakley has some of the best teaching skills ever. The dog course instructor was also extremely skilled at teaching me about intelligence when it comes to dogs and humans and other types of apes. But my friend ደ asked me to take this course as well, and it was also pretty fun. The quizzes took some time for me to actually try to pass, but like the instructors said, mistakes are crucial when it comes to learning! Thanks again ደ

This is a must-take course. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski have put together a really great course backed with interviews and scientific papers that demonstrate there is a better way to learn that what most of us intuitively gravitate towards. I am very glad I completed this course and it has already helped me perform better in many areas of my life and be a more effective learner. I cannot recommend this enough for anyone wanting to level up

The course is intelligently designed, well delivered and addresses many common problems all of us face in learning. The techniques I have learnt here have helped me tremendously in navigating my mindset and habit in a more exciting and effective way. Most of all, I have stopped perceiving that I'm just not naturally talented. Instead I know that I can learn anything with the right mindset and techniques. I'm sure no one would regret taking this course.

This course has amazing tips on how to improve learning, how to overcome procrastination, and how to better understand how the brain works in the process of learning. The professors are so calm and make the presentations so beautifully that make it easier to understand all the concepts. I would like to thank the professors for making this course available and for bring specialists (optional videos) that showed examples of the themes. It was incredible!!

Before starting any course or learning anything everyone should consider this course first.

This course provides some really simple but powerful technique's like the Pomodoro technique, chunking, etc. which can make a noticeable difference in your learning and career too.

I would also like to appreciate Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski to be our mentor in this course. There hard work and dedication will benefit many others taking this course.

The course was exceptional and fun! Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski are excellent professors. The course was well thought out and the interactive quizzes provided an excellent way to learn. Why aren't all universities offering online courses applying this study method to learning? I also wanted to mention the guest interviews were fascinating. I learned so much from all of them. Thank you so much Dr. Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski.

Schools should teach students how to learn, instead they teach students how to get stressed and fail, then they teach them blame culture. If anyone does well in the pre-university education system in a western country it's usually as much due to accident as design. This course undoes many of the misconceptions that western education systems drill into student's heads. This course will teach you the skills to effectively learn with joy instead of stress.

See "A Posting about Anxiety, Depression and PTSD from a Learner in Learning How to Learn" as my thoughts have been posted previously by a learner. It is comforting to know we share the same experience and I now have the tools to combat decades of procrastination. There were many simple tools given but as stated in the video, the learning environment in academia is based on product not process. I only wish I would have learned this in elementary school.

This course is absolutely amazing, I would even say life-changing. Not only it helps to understand the basics of the brain's nature in terms of learning, but it also helps to embrace yourself, and what's the most important -- to believe in yourself. This is exactly what I so desperately needed in this period of my life.

Thank you so much, Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski. You've done an amazing job creating this course and sharing so many valuable insights.

I am only halfway through this course, but so far it has been interesting, engaging, and useful. As an educator I am always trying to find ways for myself and my students to learn effectively. This course has given me some great information (with plenty of citations and options for further reading) as well as useful tools I can use in the classroom. In addition, Dr. Oakley has a fun personality which really shines through. Thank you for this course!

This course practices what it preaches. Learning how to learn requires doing the techniques taught on how to learn. It's chunked nicely and gives great real-world examples of how to apply these techniques. Biological and psychological concepts are incorporated which helps to add to realities and destroy misconceptions about learning. Fantastic course, will be taking it again and again over the years to really learn the material and share it with others.

This course gives you the insights and skills of being a good learners, which many of us dont have. This course is not only helpful for students, but people at any part of their life can take full advantage of this course to help them use your brain effectively. For me personally this course has been very helpful as a working professional who is preparing for college entrance exams. It has helped me organise my study timemtable and methods more wisely.

I really learned a lot from taking this course. I learned what are the best ways to study and undo my toxic habits in "learning". I still have a long way to go to apply all these new concepts in my life (both academic and social life) but I'm sure they will bring fruitful results. Thank you for all the team members that has made this course happen. Kudos to all of you! To new learners this will surely aid you in ways you never imagined. Happy Learning!

This course gives you amazing insights into our brain working and gives ample technique to change and put to practice different techniques to learn with scientific explanations. It also deals with time management, healthy lifestyle, stress management, test-taking and preparation strategies. It is surprising to know that how doings thing that we have been doing a little bit differently would have given us significant improvement over the results we get.

A course recommandable to anyone. Please take some time to read and view the optional material if you take on this course, they are a wonderful addition.

This course has boosted my confidence, as someone with a heavy past of mental illness. As I was going through the course I have become more productive. I also fully gained back my love for learning, and it awakened in me a interest for teaching. I hope I can help many people, as this course did for me.

I have been reading on productivity methods and learning techniques since I was in highschool, but this course glues everything together. It explains the neuroscience behind learning, and by making sense of how our brain works, it gives you the best tips for learning more, and better, and how to be more productive and avoid procrastination. I believe this is a lifelong lesson and I will be very grateful to this course and the instructors in the future.

It was one of the best online courses I have ever taken so far. The tools and techniques taught in this course will help in my life I am pretty sure of that. I find myself very lucky that I stumbled across this course at the right time in my life. I would have scored much better in my previous classes if I have found this course earlier. I would encourage everyone reading this to take this course before learning anything crucial in life. Best of Luck!

As a college student, this course forced me to focus on the real truth of studying habits. I hope to use the habits learned from this course to make my college habits better. I have learned how to study and which aspects of studying to focus on. I also realized that most of the time my laziness wins over me and I choose methods of studying that are "harder" but are actually easier and won't learn, than choosing the difficult way and actually learning.

The course content is quite good and it explains things backed with logical explanations, solid research and interesting interviews. The graphics used are not 'the best' but great enough to make you understand things. It is quite evident that a lot of effort has been put in creating the content of this course

I strongly feel that this course will affect the way I learn other things, and is a great way to start with online courses. Strongly recommended.

Thanks to Sejnowski and Barbara Oakley. This course brings me the useful concepts and techniques on Learning. Some of them we might know it before. But actually we don't understand how the brain function works. By understanding the mechanism, we could build a better leaning skill which means to be more productive. I would love to practice all the skill and try to share with my family and friends. Hope that everyone could learn better and change life.

It's good,i have learned some useful learning skills,and it also give me a new perspective on learning.

This course in some sense,changed my way of study.

This is also the first class i have taken online.

Thank you for your efforts,to give me a graet course.

我觉得这门课挺好的，我从中学到了一些很有用的学习技巧，同时它也给了我一个新的方式去看待学习。

这门课改变了我的学习方法，我开始做笔记，每天定计划，尽量多使用recall，创建有用的chunk，尽管这才刚刚开始，不过我想我会从中受益的。

感谢所有参与这门课程制作的成员，是你们的努力让我有了这次不错的网上课程体验。

同时也要感谢翻译的成员，正是有了中文做参照，才让我能坚持下来，完成课程。

Thank you.

I took this course because learning is not something I had a clear understanding how the brain works while and away from active learning. It changed my way and actually I am looking forward to take on tough subjects (for me) to apply focussed and diffused modes, add to this a good sleep and the Pomodoro technique! Thank you so much for the time both Mrs Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski have spent on this course, I am so greatful to you

This course is great! I discover useful and interesting information about our brain. Also I found a lot of working techniques for studying productively and comfortably. I liked all the additional interviews. These guests gave me a lot of tips for studying and made me feel myself smart. Now I know that I can achieve anything using the right approach. Thank you so much for this course! I would like to recommend it to everyone who wants to study better.

Learning How to Learn is an amazing course, Barbra Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski, both used very calm toned voices that keeps you engaged. The course teaches proven techniques for learning that can be applied to any discipline, while taking this course, I was able to use all the techniques mentioned, on the final project, I found my self procrastinating, and having to use the pomodora technique, All in all a very rewarding course, I highly recommend.

I am a computer scientist. The ideas I learned from this course were mind boggling. During my exams I have been spending all night on preparation without realizing this could have negative effect. I am recommending this course to all my co-worker. This is a meta-learning course which tells how to learn. I have a Ph.D and it is very sad I did not know about this until now. But, it is never too late and there is so much more to learn. Happy Learning :)
