This course is very inisghtful in contrast to those shalllow articles and videos that circulate on the internet about how to learn better. It gave me much more knowledge about "how" learning works instead of just handing some hacky tricks (which most materials seems to do). So because of that knowledge, I can even come up with my own hacks, and that's something powerful!

An amazing course, explains complex topics really easy, entertaining to watch, knowing that i am learning.

I am a person who has trouble concentrating and learning, i´ve seen benefits in my learning by using techniques shown in this course, i really enjoyed it and thank you for teaching me how to learn propperly and not just memorizing everything just for tests at school

Amazing! the course recommendation is to take in 4 weeks but was so interesting and with so usable learnings that were simple to understand and enjoyable to watch that I finished the whole course in 1 week. I profoundly recommend it! The techniques and explanations about how our brain works are super useful and clear and easy to understand. It is time very well-invested!

Muchas gracias por el curso, ha sido muy didáctico e ilustrativo. He aprendido nuevas técnicas que las estoy poniendo en practica y seré más productivo. Así mismo podré enseñarles a mis hijas y colegas como mejorar. Felicitaciones y un abrazo grande para Barbara y Terrence, y todo su equipo incluyendo a los entrevistados que fueron de primera. Estaré buscando más cursos.

It was a fun course! It affirmed what most of us who have found success in academics have been doing for years, so it was nice to find out that these techniques have been appointed names. I will do my best to pass on this information to others who are climbing that academic mountain. Thank you guys for doing this.

I will be looking at the references for more information.

A fantastic course! Thank you for challenging the way I used to think about learning - and keeping me mindful of spending more time on problem questions instead of trying to read every piece of information in the textbook. I know now that I need to spend more time applying what I learn and testing myself instead of trying to understand the minute detail of every concept.

This is one of the best courses on learning how to learn. Both the instructors, Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski have used an unique teaching technique. With useful tools such as pomodoro, learners are able to apply the tools easily. This course dwells into how our brain learns, and thus help us in capitalizing the brain's learning mechanism to the fullest.

This is improving my strength towards completing courses. I like it a lot.

A humble request is please upload video lectures of duration more than 15 min. After watching a video we are relaxing. If videos are of small duration I will take much time for us to complete lectures as it includes more relax time. If videos are of more duration we can complete them in small time.

This course is literally changing my life. Discovering various tools for learning and figuring out which ones and in which combinations work best for me has been an interesting and fruitful journey. Studying for GRE has become fun for me.

In short, I like it so much!

Thank you for creating this thoroughly thought through course and for allowing to access it indefinitely.

I took this course to alienate my habitual procrastination habits and to improve my learning. Admittedly, a part of me was curious and now I know why. I have learned about tricks and techniques that will forever change the way I study and how I approach procrastination issues and how to avoid falling into old habits.

My sincere Thanks to Barbara Oakley, Terry Sejnowski!

It was a wonderful experience doing this course. I knew a few things before but have gained an invaluable insight into how the brain works and many new techniques on how to improve my learning. I did this course in preparation for a University degree and I feel well prepared for it now.

Many thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski for creating this wonderful course!

It is quite a helpful course for me. I spent much time in thinking about how to study more efficiently. Lots of the techniques the course mentioned are aligned with my past observations, and now I learn more about its theory. I am going to use most of these methods in my graduate study and check its effectivity. Thanks a lot for all people that give such a great course.

I have learned very much from this course. Somethings I already knew, but I never stopped and thought about what it meant with regarding to learning. I'm already using my new-found knowledge with my students. Teaching them not only history (my subject) but also how they should tackle the problem of remembering and identifying the important concepts.

Thank you very much!

This course illustrates how to learn in the best ways with alternative methods. The course inspires me a lot and solve some of my learning doubts and difficulties I faced before. Every study struggle has a reason behind! Thanks for this course which open the door to be a better learner, the remaining pathway is to practice these techniques and being passion in learning.

At the beginning of the course I felt scared in going back into learning. Taking this course has helped me feel excited about learning and it gives me the confidence in choosing other more challenging subjects.

I feel the need to continue with my learning and am sure that the techniques learned in this course will make a difference in the outcome of my future education.

This course is such a fun and useful one. The videos are short but sharp enough to let you learn and remember the lectures. The course can also be very helpful in everyday life no matter what your proficiency is. The interviews are great. This course will literally help you with many other courses that you are going to take and it is a fundamental for education,I think.

This course is very helpful and teaches you techniques to further your education. Learning How to Learn should be taught in middle school and then again when entering high school. Allot of kids really need to hear and learn this information at an early age. Thank you University of California and a big thanks to Coursera for organizing these courses for all to take !!!!!

Incredibly helpful. One would think that the process of learning would be taught in schools, but unfortunate that's not the case. I felt very behind in life in general, but after getting confident in my ability to learn, I now feel like I can tackle anything.

This is a fundamental skill. If you have trouble learning, this course is the easiest recommendation of my life.

Really engaging and thought-provoking.

Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terry Sejnowski presented new, interesting and relevant material in a clear and engaging way.

I have acquired useful tools and new ways of thinking which will help me with all areas of learning in future.

The guest speakers were also very knowledgeable and provided additional angles to the course material.

Thank you very much, Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrence for this wonderfully curated course. I wish I had access to this course when I was in school. All these years I was focussing on the product and not on the process of learning thus missing the joy of learning. The course is meant to how to study and learn effectively and not waste time with ineffective study techniques.

This course is amazing! I really learned a lot in this course, I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand how your mind works and how it learn, the teachers' didactics are great, in addition to passing on knowledge in the best way possible. I am totally excited to study using the techniques I learned here. Thank you very much for sharing this material with us.

Not only does this course showcases how powerful Coursera is, it's content is amazing.

Barbara and Terrence are great at sharing their technical knowledge in a very enriching and endearing way. This went a long way in terms of helping me perceive how we're always learning - whether in class or in life - and how our efforts in either path are complementary to each other.

I enjoyed this course and definitely recommended for anyone who wanted to improve their life. If you are a student in which about to take a tough course, this should come to you first hand and it will guaranteed to ease out your learning. Thank you Barbara Oakley and Dr Terry Sejnowski! All the best to you all. Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching. <3

This course was straight forward, precise, and clear about it. The instructors' voices were clear and no jargon going on during the discussion. As per the topic, I've learned a lot about different types of techniques as I wish I learn them earlier on in my life. Nevertheless, it was never too late as I will apply them continuously throughout my life and to my children.

thanks a lot for this course and all how worked on it and make it that easy to understand even for foreign natives, I am my self have no problem with English but yet I found the subtitle very good, unlike some other courses on same platform <3

thanks Dr. Oakley
