I found this course as eye opener, so practical and made me realize very valuable things for me which I will be able to use/have started using to improve my learnings. I have also shared with colleagues of mine at my workplace the information about the course as well as some techniques which can be immediately utilized such as Pomodoro. Thank you!

¡Es el mejor curso que he visto en mi vida! Agradezco en el alma cada una de las enseñanzas que recibí aquí, pues sin estas no podría hoy entender la vida de la manera que la entiendo. Espero poder seguir estudiando y aprendiendo, y por supuesto poder aportar mi granito de arena en este proyecto tan espectacular de educación universal y/o mundial.

It is an excellent on line course. When I read ` Mind Shift` by Dr Barbara OaKley,I never thought that it would be that interesting and useful. I wish it continued for more weeks. Personally,I got the answers to my searches through this wonderful process of learning. I strongly recommend people to go through this course and enjoy further learning.

It is a great course which outlines different techniques which will help you learn more effectively. It also explains the functioning of the brain with regard to learning in easy to understand and fun ways. The course also helps you in dealing with procrastination. I loved the course and would highly recommend it.

Thank you Coursera and Team LHTL!

Excellent course that improved my approach to learning. When thinking of the fact how many people around the world are taking this course, it is fair to say that this course has the potential to improve the lives of hundred of thousands of people.

I wish to express my special gratitude to Barbara Oakley: Your course makes this world a better place!

Barbara and Terry were absolutely phenomenal with their knowledge sharing skills. This course was well structured and their motive was very clear how to pass the information to the students. I have already recommended this course to many of them and will also do in coming days and years. Hope to see Barbara and Terry again in some other lectures.

Well, quality of the course is par excellence with every perspective.

Dr. Terrence always sounds more technical and Barbara sounds more like a "story " . Together, the team has done a fantastic job here!

And the most important of all, it is available at quite affordable price!

Hearty Thanks for these efforts and making it easy for us to understand!

This course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of learning. Students are able to understand how the learning process happens as well as practise different methods that can help them master it. Diversity of materials guarantee that everyone can find at least a few tools and instruments that will definitely suit him/her.

Excellent course to take. It helped me to understand what I was missing in doing effective learning. There are so many strategies to use that student should know. The teachers are very clear in explaining the topics. I recommend this course to everyone no matter what the age is. Thanks so much I really enjoyed it a lot as well as learned so much.

Absolutely excellent course!! I was struggling with procrastination and wandering if there was any "Learning Training" program that could help me. This course has really made an impact on my life, not only in academics. It really is a coaching program to become a skillful and precise learner. I absolutely recommend it, for me it's a total must!!!

Really very useful, well-presented, easy to understand course with great tips for anybody who is interested in learning anything. Lots of great videos from experts in their own fields involving learning languages, memory techniques and other areas. Something for everyone - there's no reason not to be a better learner after completing this course!

I really love the point of imposter which makes me realize that it is common for everyone so that I can feel free to be confident. And I love the part of the optional interview which inspires me a lot and give new perspectives from different experts in different fields. Thank you very much for the course and I will apply what I learnt in my life.

The course provided some very useful learning techniques, along with a context of why they work. I enjoyed the optional interviews - some of them were especially motivating. The wonderful thing about the course it that one could do the quizzed even when only auditing the course. This helped me understand and remember the main ideas of the videos.

Great ideas accompanied by useful tools and resources. The supplementary interviews are often interesting and the reading lists offer a great way to look into the research grounding the course more carefully. Toward the final week or two of the course, the organization gets a little mushier and the lessons can feel a bit more like a 'grab bag.'

This course was wonderful and the lessons will stick with me for a lifetime. The course itself was well designed and the summary questions and weekly quizzes effectively reinforced what was taught in the videos. I read Barbara's companion book "A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel At Math and Science" as I took the course. Each reinforced the other.

What we thought learning short cuts were working, it was not. Our mind wired differently and this course allows us to unlock the best possible outcome when receiving stimulus and processing it into something useful and better. I had to unlearn my old way of learning, and adapt to this better proven method. Not easy, but it was worth the effort.

Awesome techniques that will follow and guide you not only throughout your academic years, but in every aspect of your life as well. You´ll cover topics such as procrastination and neuroscience, not to mention several practical techniques to enhance your learning. I am glad I did this course and I have already recommend it to friends and family.

In this wonderful course you will find the answers you have asked yourself in relation to learning. You will learn how your brain works in order to learn, how to fight procrastination and how to have productive study sessions. A big applause to Drs. Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski for making this course enjoyable, interesting, useful and fun!

This would surely go down as one of the most important course of my life. Learning How to Learn delivers the goods at the right pace while leaving a positive indelible mark on well, learning how to learn. Many of these techniques and approach will be useful for my future endeavours, be it studying another course or applied in daily work matters.

It's a well-structured course which teaches you a lot of things. Even if you are using some of the mentioned techniques, you will find a good category for best-practised learning methods and some meetings with bright people from all over the world. I highly recommend it and don't cram it, apply deliberate practice to have the most benefit of it.

This course is very inspirational and useful with little workload and clear explanation, I recommend everyone taking this course. It may give you a brand new perspective about meta-learning. I also recommend you to view optional readings and interview videos to know how people echoed their experience with the tool kits introduced in this course.

6 months on and I am still using the tools learned in this course: Pomodoro, breaking up learning with a different activity, repetition, etc.

This is a course I intend to review over and over again as it will serve a critical tool for lifelong learning. I believe it should be adapted into a Learning 101 program at the elementary education level.

I really enjoyed this course, the information provided was clear and to the point. My attention was held which i dont find many courses can. I will hopefully remember to put all these new learning's into practice in my everyday life.

I very much appreciate the time and effort gone into making the course and sharing it with me.

Thanks again

Andrew

As a mental health professional I found this course beneficial in helping me prepare for a secondary graduate degree in neuroscience, and in the work with my clients! The information in this course enabled me (and my clients) overcome obstacles that I didn't think I could.

I highly recommend this course to laypeople and professionals alike.

This course returned the trust in myself to develop future skills, which I never plan to develop and more important - I stopped to afraid to take complicated courses to learn. This course should be in every school as the subject #1. Highly recommend to read the book of Barbara which will only strengthen the received knowledge.

Thank you Barbara!
