I appreciate you time and effort to make this course available. Before this course, I thought I was developing the right method for learning, but I was having several mistakes. This course has helped me to understand how the learning process works and how I can sharpen my study technique. I used to think that reading 15 books a year was a good record for me, but I was wasting my time fooling myself.

Insightful, actionable, straightforward, easy-to-digest information, skills, and tips to help you become a better learner. Course material is applicable to nearly every aspect of everyday life - from fighting procrastination and creating better habits, to understanding the way attention, memory, and the brain work, Barbara and Terry present everything in a matter-of-fact, fun manner. Well worth it!!

Engaging, valuable, and insightful. Don't be dissuaded by the simplicity of how it's taught, the techniques and scientific understanding beneath them, are highly beneficial in such a practical way. It was delightful to learn from both Prof. Barbara Oakley and Prof. Terrence Sejnowski. They're warm-hearted teachers and genuinely interested in developing your quality of learning, and ultimately life.

It is a wonderful course, I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to learn something new, or even acquiring new techniques to assist him in his or her current studies.

Many thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley, a great professor who has the academic ability to convey information smoothly in an easy understandable way.

Many thanks to Dr. Terrence Sejnowski, whom I gained new scientific knowledge from.

Wish I had discovered a course like this much earlier in my academic career. I'm an adult educator and feel this course has MUST know elements for all students! I would especially like to see my more challenged students take it; I think they would be surprised how following even a few of the outlined techniques would enhance their success and satisfaction with their learning experiences. Well done!!

Thanks so much for this course. It helps me understand the learning ability of persons can improve, not depend on there IQ by interesting sience proof. It also showed me learning techniques that are simple than I though but I didn't know before. These techniques not only help us in learning, but working. With them and highly preserverance, I trust we can break any bariers in learning something new.

One of the best courses I have taken so far, the seamless nature of each module and thinking a situtation from a new perspective was the key learning features of this course. Once you implement all the learnings from this course, it is way easier to learn and grasp concepts of any field of your choice, great instructor Prof. Oakley. The exam tips section would be a real help. Thanks for the course.

This is a course that not only teaches you tools to study better but also to keep yourself motivated throughout your learning journey. When you get stuck in the middle or even in the beginning it becomes insistently difficult to carry on. With the help of this course one can really understand how not to give up and keep going on. I think that would be the greatest take away for me from this course.

I already know most of the stuff here like Pomodoro technique, group meaning or Memory Palace, because I was already using them. However I was very interested in the neurological aspects of learning. Due to the fact that I l know most of the stuff here, it just took me 1 week to finish the whole course. I recommend to anyone who wants to be a better, more efficient learner. It can change your life.

Amazing! I'd be so much further if schools would require this course early on in education. Incourperating lessons from this course in early education or even as a whole would be benificial in standardized testing and students progression in overall learning. I loved this course now I'm looking foward to learning so much more. Thank you and everyone who made this course available to people like me.

I just don't understand why this is not teached in school.

Some of this you might have figured out but this course will enable you to plan in a systematic way how you study and remember what you study. Very insightful on the study proccess. I am glad this is the first course I took on Coursera, it will help me so much with the other courses I intend to attend.

Thanks again for providing this course!

That was my first online course and i have really enjoyed so much and gained a lot of precious ideas and concepts about different aspects of learning, My professor has shared it with my classmates and me, and i knew it won't be such a waste of time, I want to thank so much everyone who has contributed by any kind of help to create this course, especially Dr Barbara Oakley and Dr Terrence Sejnowski.

I loved the course "Learning How to Learn: Powerful Mental Tools to Help You Master Tough Subjects". It was very engaging and informative, and it taught me some useful strategies to improve my learning skills. The instructors were clear and friendly, and the quizzes and assignments were challenging but fun. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to learn better and faster.

Such a Mazing course on how to learn. This course, briefly explains how our brains work and reach when we learn new things and how to retain consistency during learning difficult things. This course explant the basic tips and trick about the overcome anxiety and frustration during learning. I encourage everyone to take this course to understanding how to learn difficult things for long term memory

Very straighrforward class that keeps you motivated. The videos 2min to 5min videos are the perfect lenght, direct to the point and easy to understand. I really like the retrieving from memory tests at the end of some lessons. I am already putting many concepts into practice like Memory Palaces, pomodoro technique for procrastination and chunking for memory. Great course! I highly recommend it.

Great course - if only I knew many years ago, what I know now.

This course makes you believe in yourself; you can do it! It may take a little adjusting to how you approach your project and/or study, but you get the HOWs and WHYs step by step.

Both Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski are excellent, they guide through the course in a very upbeat and energetic manner.

The start of new beginnings for me.

Muchas gracias por la oportunidad de poder aprender más acerca de las herramientas mentales, estoy muy feliz de haber aprendido muchas cosas en el curso. Quedo totalmente agradecida con ustedes y los aliento a seguir con éste tipo de iniciativas que son de muchas ayuda para quienes tenemos ganas de saber más. Recomendado el curso, y los profesores son unos profesionales excelentemente capacitados.

This course changed my life, the way I see the world, the way I learn, how I understand, how I memorize. it is a didactic course, simple to understand, all the readings were interesting, all the guests were incredible and the teachers Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski teach very well, they are very charismatic. The experience I had was unique and I will take it for the rest of my life.

I really enjoy learning about this material. it's not only help in study but also into my life. I learn a lot of things that i didn't realize before that i could do better and thinking widely. Dr.Barbara & Dr.Terrace gave an easy, clear and simple explanation for each topic. So in the end we could understand and apply it in our daily life. Thank you for open up my perspective to learn and my life

I found this really helpful for myself and have been sharing what I'm learning with my teens. So much of this I have had to learn the hard way by trial and error, we really should know how our brains work to gather and store information in a useful way. This course addresses that. There are so many supportive resources added in that I have a wealth of study information to turn to. Thank you, team.

This is a masterpiece of how to learn to learn. There isn't any other way to boost one's intelligence rather than thinking of it. Our brain is a powerful machine which needs reprogramming over and over by learning new things, practicing them will keep our long-term memory healthy. Finally, this course proves that you can regulate your own learning and be self-confident on everything you ship on.

Excellent course. I highly recommend this to help further your understanding of learning. By the end of the course, you will look at thinking differently and question your thought processes in the future. Specifically, they do focus on test taking at the end of the course, although this was a quick topic compared to the rest of the in-depth review of learning throughout the rest of the program.

One of the best courses I've ever taken in coursera!! ♥

The content is very applicable and easy to understand because the professor is EXCELLENT. I believe every student should take this course at least once. It did help me a lot and I am very excited to apply all the techniques on my own studies.

I am very greatful for you guys to have shared all this great information with me. Thank you so much :)

A very accessible and insightful course, underpinned by quality research. The layout and structure of the course is excellent and makes it very easy to follow. The short video lessons allow for bite-size access on a regular basis, which is really good for some time-challenged people. I really enjoyed this course and many thanks to Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski for creating and presenting it so well.

Very interesting course, it is useful for every learner, teaches lots of study techniques (Pomodoro, be in the process, etc) to be very efficient in your studies, tell us about our weakness (like Zombies and Procrastinations) and most importantly tells about importance of sleep and breaks between the studies. Thanks Barbara Oakley , Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and Coursera for such a wonderful course.
