Wow - what I've gained from this course was disproportionate to the ease of getting through it. First Coursera class that I've successfully completed! Still need to do the final assignment and dig around in the additional readings, but a big thank you to the team behind this course and for helping me become a much better learner!

Excellent course that I wish I had discovered sooner. Tremendously helpful techniques to take away from here and not just into academic studies but also everyday life. I look forward to making use of what i've learnt in the course.

Practically the course is very digestible with plenty of 'optional' content should you be interested.

Simplicity, visuals & analogies...

I think it everyone should take this course. Learning how to learn should be a foundational subject taught in every school. It's a really awesome course. It provides some really simple and effective techniques to master the learning process.

P.S. Barbara Oakley is so cool, she's one of my idols.

This is an informative and effective course that boosts confidence and motivation for starting more complex and lengthier subjects. Very enjoyable to watch, I'm planning on re-watching this course sporadically after completed to maintain the powerful study skills I have gained and for the inspirational optional interviews included.

I have really enjoyed this course and found it really awesome. I suggest everyone to halt their current learnings and do this course first because it will tremendously improve their performance in every learning. High gratitude to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for presenting the knowledge in such an amazing style.

Some of the topics discussed in the course were really an eye opener and were easy to follow. I have already started to get better at learning. I also realized what mistakes I was doing when I reflected on my learning so far. Excellent course material with good testing materials every now and then to reinforce your understanding.

El curso es muy bueno, cubre las nociones básicas del aprendizaje y provee recursos y estructuras para facilitarlo. Una lástima que no hubiera tenido la oportunidad de hacer este curso cuando estaba en la universidad, ¡pero nunca es tarde para aprender y para mejorar la forma de hacerlo!.

Enhorabuena a los autores y muchas gracias.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, I will be recommending it to all my friends. I have gained a lot of understanding on techniques that I used to follow when learning as a child or a young adult on a subconscious level, and now I finally know why. Also, the intro to the work of brain, has been very helpful to chunk the topics.

This course has provided me several tips to tackle daily problems that people face everyday and not only for studying also at work or any action which implies will from you. This will not change your life of study style radically but in the long term thanks to the impletation of these fantastic habits! 100% recomendable GO FOR IT!

I'm very thankful to Barbara for that course. It took me 2 years to finally finish it :) Although I see some area of improvement. There are a lot of myths related to learning: like best time to study is between 9 and 12 am, etc. and it would be great if these things were proved or debunked during this course. Thank you, Oleksandr.

and Science. I am already sharing my knowledge from this course with others.

A great course with a wonderful mix of nuggets of neuroscience and tips and tricks to make your learning faster, stronger, and more long-lasting. The videos are short and crisp and do not beat about the bush. The subtle element of humour in everything, including test options, adds to the awesomeness. Wish there's a sequel to this!

Hi! Firstly I want to say that it's a great course to start your introduction with coursera, and it's a wonderful opportunity to try your abilities online. Also i want to notice fact that I have consolidated my previous knowledge,and knew many skills which will help me in the future to understand new material.

Thank you very much!

As a curious learner but always struggle to fight my procrastination, this course helps me out.The structure of this course is easy to follow, and it serves lots of useful information from other experts.I'm currently writing a blog post regarding what I have learned after this course an will spend the time to revisit this course.

Great course that goes into the reasoning and happenings in the brain during the process of learning. Provides useful tips on various methods to better learn, and also those to help avoid inefficient use of time. Offered some new perspectives towards my own learning, tons of resources, and last but not least, very warm lecturers!

The amount of techniques that we get from this course help us not only throughout our learning processes but also can be considered life-changing skills: on the moment that we are able to recognise how our brain works, we become more aware on how to master it. I hope I can use those lessons on diverse areas of my life and career.
