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.

Excellent program by Dr. Oakley and D. Sejnowski. This program has been a mind opener for me at 70 years old in understanding my procrastinations and inabilities to focus whenever attempting to join any online programs. Thank you, thank you for this program. I have been recommending the program to every parent I meet so they can help their children with online studies during this pandemic year.

Excelentes tips para dejar de tener miedo de aprender sobre cosas que se nos dificultan y aventurarnos a aprender sobre todo lo que nos interese y vayamos descubriendo a lo largo de nuestras vidas tanto personales como profesionales. Los videos dan analogías muy útiles y los tips son simples pero muy efectivos. Además, aprender (así sea un mínimo) sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro es increíble.

I encourage everyone to attend this course! The Professors do a wonderful job at explaining how neural networks and the brain's structure relate to techniques that we utilise in studying. You come across new techniques and perhaps a few we've known of before, but the difference lies in understanding why they or they don't don't work, which makes it convenient as a learner to improve how we study.

As a newly graduated student from college, I wished I learned these concepts and techniques when I was a freshman. It made me think that, learning how to learn, could have potentially helped me aced exams before when I was still a student. Alas, my time has passed, I recommend these to all future students who wished to feel that the education system is too focused on the product not the process.

I found learning how to learn a very helpful course for improving your learning and how to learn with effective techniques to strengthen your knowledge and expertise in what you are studying or learning. it is like a instruction manual to how to learn. with very kind and helpful instructors who simplify complicated terms and concepts about human brain in a way everyone can grasp and understand.

The instructor is very calm, active, accurate and put some related interviews in some videos in a very thoughtful way. All the time I come back for some reminding, found this course very motivated and helpful. As I love to learn new things, this course has pointed to the majority of knowledge we would have to know to be more successful in our education time. Hope you enjoy and welcome to learn!

I enjoyed Learning How To Learn as it provides a lot of useful insights on learning. These insights help me to be a better learner and a better teacher - as the last part of the course suggests that we should teach others about these techniques then we can confidently say that we have achieved full mastery. In so doing, we are also enriched by the learning and answers that our "students" give us.

When I told my wife the title of the course she immediately did a double take, scoffed, and checked my face to see if I was joking. Learning how to learn seems like a counter-productive skill to master, but it all makes PERFECT sense. If you want to learn more, you should master the ART of learning so you can actually LEARN more.
This course is awesome and I could not recommend it highly enough!

This course is awesome, I considered myself to be a good student, and during this course I learnt that I was a good student because I had discovered various techniques that are taught in this course, I didn't know I knew them and that they were the responsibles for my good grades. I also discovered new techniques that I didn't know, and with them I can now become an excellent student and learner.

Excellent course, both accessible and precise explanations of the psychology and neurology of learning, from very visual explanations at first to very detailed explanations later, with many concrete advice and examples of how to spend your learning time more efficiently, and many ressources to dig further into the recent underlying research papers. Should be taught mandatorily in all highschools.

This course provides effective and efficient tools to practically learn anything! I originally thought the course would mention skills and traits that are common in the productivity sphere. This course brought us new ideas with backed-up research and evidence on why is it much more effective. Lastly, the optional contents are totally worth a try and listen, to since it elaborates the ideas more!

Comprehensive study in functioning of the brain in the learning process told in a friendly and easy-to-grasp manner. The course is divided in small videos and contains a lot of useful tips to master learning. It has tests after each topic. One minus is that it's no really beautiful in design - I would really wish to see an appealing design and videos made more professionally, not like in the 90s

This course proved to be extremely valuable and insightful. Some ideas I had been practicing since ever (without being aware), but most of techniques and knowledge were new to me. Looking in retrospect, they make total sense, since they fit in many life experiences, actually explaining some outcomes (good and bad) that I had previously experienced over the years. Highly recommend this course !

This course inspired me to take a more serious approach to my education. Now I know how to gain not just an understanding of given information, but knowledge and mastery of the material. I know how to remember something long-term, how to gain more skills by studying less, how to battle procrastination, how to handle stress and perform well on tests. Quite a useful course anyone can benefit from.

This course is excellent! Dynamic yet focused. It teaches what it preaches without you even noticing. The supporting material suggested is wonderful, very carefully chosen articles, and the interviews contribute widely to better understand the couse contentent. It was a real pleasure to take it. I do hope to find again Dr. Oakley and Dr. Senjwoski, wonderful instructors. Thank you both so much!

This course has changed my life, not only in studying and learning, but setting goals. Barbara and Terrence are very helpful at helping us learn, and even use the methods they teach, to teach to us. I feel proud because this is the first formal qualification I have ever achieved, and I feel as if I can approach any study, academic or industry, and even informally. Thank you to everyone involved.

Su contenido es realmente provechoso para aprender sobre la mente, abrir la imaginación y a su vez concretar ideas que te ayuden en tus tareas cotidianas. Aprender a manejar y a convivir con estas técnicas se convierte en un estilo de vida, uno muy provecho para las personas que nos gusta alimentar nuestra vida a diario con cosas nuevas y reforzar aquellas que trabajamos desde hace mucho tiempo.

I really learn a lot through this videos. I had try to make myself a better learners right now and to go further on my interest of study. The way of thinking of process not a product really change my mind of learning something about quantity that I need to have but actually is based on what quality you have learn from something. Thanks for all the lecturers and the supported team on this course.

This is an exceptional course built to prove that you have the potential. All you need to do is to apply the right approach in terms of learning anything literally. Kudos to Dr Barbara and Dr Terrence for putting out a gem to prove that human minds are built for something bigger and this would help millions, especially for who feel they have missed that bus of achieving something in their life.

I found this a great overview of the mistakes we often make when facing challenging subject matter. I procrastinated my way through school and did passably well, but in later years I've learned those bad habits have held me back beyond academics. I've learned, but not as well (and lastingly) as I could have. I'm optimistic the concepts of this course will help me improve and be well worth time.

Since the moment I selected this course I knew I needed it, I just hoped it was good. I wasn't disappointed. Learning How to Learn is a powerful tool which I will use a lot since I've been struggling for a while in my studies. I strongly recommend it if you feel like your studies aren't giving you the results you'd hope and in a sense you know you could do better, but you don't know how. 10/10.

This Course taught by Miss Barbara Oakley had a deep and enriching impact on my personality and attitude towards learning. I am writing this review after almost 2 years after I did the course and I still remember and aplly the study hacks and tools i learnt through this course.
I personally feel that this course should be made compulsory to all students irrespective of their educational stream.

Thanks for Teaching How To Learn, This is one of the best courses I've taken ever and it has changed the way I learn and remember things and setting goal habits and tackling procrastination. Thank you for all the learning from this course videos, blog posts, book material, research papers which are the backbone of the underlying course and the Mind for Numbers book which I will be soon reading.
