This course helped me a lot on realizing what I was missing and the real mistake that I've ever made. By fixing my cognition in learning, it gave me a better chance to study and retain more than ever.

I've had a magical journey through learning how to learn new things during this course and enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you dear Prof. Oakley for giving me such a great opportunity. First I read your book "A Mind For Numbers." I think Everyone should read it! So interesting and useful. Also thanks a lot Dr. Sejnowski for the precious information about keeping our new neurons alive, via learning and exercise. :)

This course should be taken by everyone on Earth. Everybody can learn something from this course on how to become a more effective learner. It's a shame that a course like this is not mandatory. Dr. Oakley is a PHENOMENAL educator whose teaching style is unparalleled. This is one of the best, if not THE BEST, course that I've ever taken. Do yourself a favor and at least try it because you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Very informative. It covers the main aspects of learning and, best of all it's backed by scientific researches that actually alllow to better understand all your behaviours when talking about learning a new thing. Because that is what they teach you, how to familiarize, learn and master any skill. It's also great for ESL students as the course is presented is a clear manner and with subtitles in different languages.

I was a classroom teacher in the 90s, an early adopter of technology, and I earned my Master of Education in the days of the Arab Spring, when blended learning was emerging as the most effective technology enhanced strategy. All the same, not only did I receive a 21st century, evidence-based upgrade to my knowledge of learning theory, but I witnessed first-hand how to design and deliver a "sticky MOOC." Thanks, L2L!

An excellent course on Learning. I have enjoyed all the materials introduced here; it's original, well presented and explained clearly. You can see from the way that they have designed the course that they apply what they preach; for example regular, mini-practice tests placed along the way before the actual quizzes to help us master the material in hand. And it works as you can feel that you are making progress.

An amazing course which can be seen as a helpful tool to better learning from any subject and from life in general, as a coching session helping you to organise your learning and at the same time your daily work or tasks and a motivational course which makes you understand that (learning) everything is possible. It changed my way to think and to welcome my new tasks or learning sessions with motivation and patience.

I wholeheartedly loved this course! Which I think...says a lot. I feel I got way more out of this course, in terms of applicable life tools, than I even thought when I initially signed up. Understanding what is going on in my brain, throughout the learning process, is a valuable tool that will support me while learning something new! The team who put this course together did a fantastic job! I loved it. Thank you!!!

Ms.Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski were great in each lecture due to their domine of the topics and a clear and practical approach of the information presented.
I would recommend this course to everybody who´s welling for learning how to learn based in a scientific backup.

This course changed my perspective about the process of learning.It gave me a deep understanding of how my brain works.It also provided important facts about memory and significant techniques such as the pomodoro and memory palace. Dr Oakely gave some really helpful tips to help overcome your stress during tests and showed how to make the best use of your neural system.
I'm really happy that I learned how to learn :)

Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects; is a course that not just teaches you about new learning techniques, but also teaches you about new ways to approach old and traditional learning techniques. In short, this course teaches you to give due importance to the PROCESS of learning rather than the PRODUCT, thus challenging the traditional belief of the formal education system.

This course has helped me immensely in terms of understanding how the mind works and how to use highly effective techniques to help in learning. I have also been able to remove procrastination from my daily tasks which was a hindrance to progress in learning and lifestyle. I feel more confident in my skills and abilities and look forward to learning more things and enjoy the process of learning. Highly recommended.

This course was beneficial and helped me as I work on the second part of my career, which will require intense learning of new skill sets and the ability to tackle my procrastination habit.
This course was beneficial with tips and providing an understanding of why we do the things we do — dating back to habits formed in early school days.
Thank you for the clarity and confidence now to chase my future career dreams.

Really useful, it is great to get some insights into how our brains work when we study. Some of the stuff seems obvious, but I found that I did not really understand why things work or do not work. Now I do and it is interesting, I have found myself being able to actually give advice to people studying, which is something I would have been reluctant to try before the course! I recommend this course, please take it.

Marked increase in both productivity and ability to learn effectively after the first two weeks of this course. Given easy to implement ways to learn and focus more readily - useful for study as well as general productivity (any task that requires time and focus - could be a skill or project). Extremely helpful, will likely annoy all my friends and family by constantly sharing what I've learned. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much! LhtL is an excellent course. It changed the way I study and learn, and the way I think about studying and learning. Not only did it provide new information (I suppose most of us students knew a lot of the things taught, such as "you should study the material during a longer period of time - not just the last night"), but it helps in actually implementing those things in every day life.
Thank you!

Recommended for everyone. As a retiree, a lifetime learner, and graduate school drop out I have done a lot of learning. Some, like the incidental learning that happens when surfing Wikipedia, has been pleasant. Some, especially in an academic or work setting has been painfully frustrating. This course has been very helpful in showing me how to make learning pleasant and effective as opposed to hard and frustrating.

I am very happy that I completed this module! There are few teachers who taught about how to learn and how our brain is actually doing while we are learning new stuff. By knowing more about the activities happening in the brain helps me to control my learning, and sometime, use some tricks to convince my brain go deeper, or to train my brain.
I can't wait to apply the methods taught in this module on other subjects!

This course is absolutely brilliant! It offers lots of practical tips on how to learn better and makes you want to start learning something new as soon as you're done watching the videos. I also very much appreciated the great clarity with which the more complex concepts are explained. Finally, I loved the quirky, a bit old-fashioned graphics of the videos. And the teachers are just great! I can only recommend it.

The course has reinforced many of the concepts and methods I have used to learn - I didn't realize that I was using these concepts.
The importance of sleep and exercise in learning was an eye opener.
Very useful ideas about avoiding procrastination especially dealing with the cues and rewards part.
Lots of interesting concepts about using group learning sessions to improve understanding and mastery over subjects.

This is a very awesome course! I studied hard and got high grades when I was in college but found myself struggling to recall the concepts or apply them in the real world. Now that I am trying to un-learn and re-learn, I have found the lessons here particularly useful not just because of the tips but also from the realizations of the mistakes that I did in the past. Kudos to everyone who made this course possible!

I've never been happier after taking a course as I am now.. this short course is one of the best things anyone can get out of a MOOC plus it gives you tricks that are helpful to people in every stage of their life. inspirational interviews with experts in different fields and timely quizzes embed the information into your brain. I recommend this to all especially students who are thinking of taking courses online.

I have always struggled with retaining information and focusing. Learning How to Learn has given me priceless tools and resources to use to improve my studying skills and help me remember the information. This course is invaluable and I highly recommend to everyone. Even if you don't have trouble learning or studying, you will still acquire useful skills that you can apply to your everyday life, work and personal.

I just finished this course and I feel this knowledge should be mandatorily taught in schools to help students learn more efficiently. After all, students spend a lot of years studying every day. Making this extensive process more efficient, by use of such courses, would save a lot of time and energy, and produce better results.I genuinely think this can make a significant difference for a lot of people out there.

I recommends this course to anyone who is thinking about doing online and or hybrid learning. I have learned so much from this course that I can use in my everyday life academically and personally and professionally. I rate this course five stars for the thoroughness of each lesson, the simplicity of each module and tests, and I really enjoyed the discussion forums and discussion threads for each week. Thank you!
