Very useful. Explained how the brain - mind and memory - works, and showed techniques for learning more effectively. Wish I'd known about this stuff while I actually went to high-school and college!

A wonderful course that I think should be taken annually! Let's remind our selves that how we approach learning is as important as what we are trying to learn. Definitely picked up a few helpful hints, and emotionally won't be as hard on myself for procrastinating and resting!

I would recommend this class to EVERYONE. I loved the spaced out content. I love the neural and cognitive explanations. I loved Barb. I liked the little quizzes and questions we followed up with. I think more activities would be great. I wanted to engage more with the content!

An amazing course, which gives you insight to many concepts and knowledge. It should be taught at the beginning of school to make students life easier. At the last week they provide you with excellent tips for test taking methods and anxiety.
Thanks a lot for this great course.

I will never see sleep as a waste of time thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski. We have to rest to allow our brains to make connections and improving our performance, even if it sounds as a cliché I have to say to myself: I only regret not finding this course before. Thanks.

Wonderful engagement and enthusiasm for the material. I enjoyed seeing educators delve into the process of learning rather than the mechanical bubble test format that is passed off as learning in our society today. Thanks for the great effort you put into this lovely course.

Классный курс, он очень помог мне понять как стоит учиться. Никогда раньше не слышал про "помидор". И не мог понять почему дело не движется дальше. Откладывать на потом я мастер, поэтому ничего и не получалось. Спасибо за советы насчет спорта и активного образа жизни. Спасибо.
