Dr. Barbara Oakley is a witty and good teacher, she made the course easy to learn and enjoyable. Learnt new tips on learning how to learn which i will definitely apply to my learning process. A real eye opener to concepts i have never heard of before. It also solidified some of my beliefs with regards to learning such as having adequate rest and exercise.

Excellent course, changed my perception of learning and now I am looking at learning through new lens. Excellent material and useful after videos equally supplement the training making it an intriguing experience. Although I am not a student but that doesn’t stop me from taking this course and it’s a must read for anyone irrespective of his phase of life.

It was a fun and insightful class. There were many unhealthy study-practices that I realized I had, and the class introduced some more effective alternatives. I am still trying to find the best system that works for me, and an equivalent of a memory palace for my mind-blind brain( since I am an Aphant). Thank you so much for providing us with this course!

Very interesting course with numerous details from scientific studies, interviews and demonstrations that are quite impressive. I have learned a lot about how I can memorize and retain information that I need to learn a language or even remember basic things on a daily basis. I recommend this course, it's not a long course and it gives you a lot for free.

Before I was facing the problem of learning how to learn and understand things, now after taking this course and the techniques taught in this course are so awesome.

Everyone should take this course and follow exactly what been told and implement it and see how the results will be.

Thanks to the Instructors and Coursera Community for this WONDERFUL Course.

This course taught me knew concepts about the relationship between my brain and learning, that I can use to better my career. I have a Master's degree in engineering and am on my second career and still found the information very useful. I appreciate that the concepts are based on academic research, and that this is not a gimmick or set of tricks.

As a University student who has failed courses in the past; this MOOC was extremely helpful in leading me to understand exactly what I was doing wrong when studying. Furthermore, the Instructors provide you with methods to improve your studying once you have discovered what you're doing wrong, thus the course sets one the correct path to learn and succeed

Excellent course. The course material justifies the title very well as it is package of tools for boosting creativity and effective learnin. In addition, the element of fun in quizzes keeps one motivated and happy throughout the course. I strongly recommend everyone that please take sometime out and first learn How to Learn before learning anymore things.

The subject of the course is extremely interesting and useful for learners. On the presentation front, I feel it could make better use of technology (some PP slides, more colorful examples), it effectively provides the students with some very important concepts and techniques to improve the process of learning. Therefore, I still give it a 5star rating!

The course is a well presented material on how your mind works and how to take control of your learning process, not only during academic years, but for the entirety of your life. I, heartly, recommend this course for anyone that has problems procrastinating, feeling insecure about their own intelligence or simply wants to become a more efficient learner.

Very helpfull course! A bit dry (or is that just a Dutch phrase?), but good information. Learned a lot about my learning in the past and why certain things worked and others didn't. It will make my learning in the future most certainly more easy. I can't believe there is no course like this in highschool and universities (at least not in The Netherlands).

Absolutely amazing! This should be mandatory as a high school senior in my personal opinion. I'm a 27 year old business owner looking to add more tools to my belt and wanted to learn how to learn more effectively. This course has been incredibly helpful and I will be referring friends and family to this. If you can, I recommend listening in 1.25x speed.

Excellent class which provides exceptional research based methods related to studying and how we learn best. Wish i had access to this earlier in life. The methods i frequently use are not the most effective for retaining information. This class has provided me with valuable tools and the knowledge I need to learn and retain information more effectively.

Very good course for everyone to give it a go, these are not hard to tackle, and clear up a lot of your wrong way of thinking about memory and learning. If you are someone who has a bit of knowledge on habits, behaviors and a little bit on neuroscience, you can easily go over this course pretty quickly and gain immense insights for your learning journey.

I highly recommend this course who are curious about fulfill their life by experience many things. I mean, it is very helpful to boost our natural ability to learn anything in life. By learning how to learn, things take much shorter time. The course is also helpful to destroy your pessimism, which is the most powerful enemy in the face of your learning.

This course was absolut amazing, starting with the people, the structure of it, the way they talk in a calm a gentle way and the amount of information that is given to you, just to feed a curiosity to learn more about the particular topic. I wish my teacher in faculty would be more like them or at least try to give us the information in a structured way.

Impressively designed and presented. The small tests and the repetitions, offset in time and context, were in the spirit of what was taught. I really liked the dynamic marking of the text parallel to the video. The large selection of (language) subtitles is also impressive. The "illusion of presence" was also very good.

You deserve all 5 stars. Thank you.

Excellent Course

Easy to follow content and explanations backed up by extensive literature (from day to day to very deep cientific articles)

I wish I had taken this course when I was in college - re-reading was by far the method I used for testing and learning - never heard of recalling before. Very pleased to have learned something new, among other stuff.

I really enjoyed this course. The information was given in an easy to understand way. The additional reading materials were really useful as well. I fount several useful techniques for improving my study-habits and it inspired me to take another look at maths and science. I recommend this course for anyone looking for inspiration and/or self-development.

This is a "first class course" I recommend anybody to take irrespective of their educational level and credentials. I have had fun all the way from start to end. I am already teaching my 8 year daughter what I learned. She is very very happy too. Barbara and Terrence, good job and thank you very much. Fernando Marcelo Landaburu in Buenos Aires, Argentina

I didn't expect much from this course but how much that was blown out of the water! From the start this course showed me areas to enhance my former methods of learning (which was insufficient). Especially the aspect on what cramming produces and what is truly needed to become a lifelong learner. I will recommend this course for anyone studying ANY field!

This course has much similarity to the book "A Mind For Numbers", but in this course there are some valuable interviews in which experts in different areas share their learning methods. Both the lecture and the book revealed interesting knowledge about our brains and provides intructions on how to use it correctly. Overall, it's a lesson worth listening.

I am a 2015 college pass out student ,worked in IT field for 1.5years and now planning to learn new technologies to take a new step in my career. I am thankful for the 'Learning How to Learn Team' for the tips and encouragement that you have given me to make a first step. Will keep in my mind and work on those tips in my future learning .

Thank you Team..
