Thanks for sharing these usefull tips. I encourage people to do this MOOC due to the fact, that wether in school or university, you do not learn how to learn effectively. This Course should be taught in every educational institution at first.

Excellent course for those who doubt their learning abilities and need some new habits to help them retain information. Also great for those with good habits who want to learn some new techniques for learning more efficiently and effectively.

You can refresh yourself and feel young again by learning like you're in 20s again. The methods that I learned in this course was not surprise to me, but how they organized and complement each other for powerful understanding is the surprise.

Fantastic course I would recommend to everyone! Not only do you learn how your brain works regarding the learning process, but it also helps you boost your self-confidence and try things you always wanted to but thought they were not for you.

A lot of new and unexpected knowledge is the main con of this course. Personal experience of a lecturer has been very helpful and inspiring to me as I'm also starting to study Mathematics for which I've never had a talent before as I thought.

This course helps me a lot to recognize why I have to and how I improve my education. The experiments are so exiting. Even though I am not good at English but rewatch the videos, use google translate (or something like this), ... is helpful.

I learned something that was so awesome. Of course there are many things that I have already known but I haven't really understood it. Thanks for this course, I understand more about it. The professors taught really clear and understandable.

J'ai aimé beaucoup se. Cours il est très intéressant et je suis fière que j'ai passer mon temps à apprendre quelque chose de nouveau. Et je souhaite que chaque personne prendre ce cours parce qu'il est trop important

Mercii du fond du coeur.

Please make this your first course on Coursera. It will help you to learn all sorts of things! I feel my life has changed after doing this course. Best of luck to everyone. Thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski for making this course.

Although the first half seemed dragged, the tips shared in the second half were amazing and I got to how we have illusions when we are learning and how to overcome them. Glad to have taken this course. Barbara Ma'am is an amazing instructor.

Very good course with excellent material to develop your learning skills. The course has been written in a way in a way that incorporates many of the concepts. I would recommend the course to anyone wishing to improve their ability to learn.

I was thinking that this course was ordinary self-improvement content but it was not. The material is based on scientific facts. The instructors are very competent. I will use the knowledge that I learned from this course for my entire life.

Really helped me find the key to learning properly after a decade of struggling. Ms. Oakley and Mr. Sejnowski are very good instructors. Their no-pressure style made me perform beyond my own expectations. I hope more people take this course.

I loved this course. It wasn't only educational but entertaining and had a very good balance. Videos are short and easy to remember and keep you engaged. Thank you for an excellent course. I just wish my university courses were as good.

Excelent course, i needed some support to improve my learning techniques and i am happy to say that this course was really helpful, thank you so much i'll try to practice al the techniques and concepts i learned here, 10/10 for the course!!!

It's an excellent course! Wonderful and well explained, with multiple references, techniques and tools, which will undoubtedly be very useful to me.

I thank Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terry Sejwonsky for teaching me how to learn effectively.

I love Barbara's voice and her teaching style!

I learn to discover myself and how to unlock my potential and the value of perseverance.

Many thanks both lecturers! you are so kind and listen to us :)

I wish that one day I can see you in person.

Brilliant course. Brilliant teachers. I would recommend this course for students at any level or anyone else for that matter. The material provides you with techniques that you can use not only in your study but in your day-to-day life, too.

I absolutely love this course. I find myself referring back to it throughout the day. Its taught me a lot about my learning style and the different ways I can study in a more productive manner. This course is great for any level of learning.

Incredibly helpful strategies that I wish I had known when I was in high school and college. I will definitely use them as I prepare to enter a new career field that will involve learning LOTS of things I was previously afraid of (aka math).

This is a truly great course that I would recommend to anyone. What is taught in this course, what this course makes you aware of, is the single most important and essential thing that formal education could, should, but doesn't give people.

Before learning anything you must know the art of learning. This course teaches how to do that, show the path. It is you who has to go in that path. The course is excellent with so many new methods and teachings about how to manage our time.

this should be a pre-requisite for all academic / non-academic fields / passions pursued. invaluable course and materials to better understand how the mind operates and what methods are best utilized to learn and ultimately succeed. thanks!

Very well organized course.

Really helpful in understanding how to learn. It helps to understand how our brain functions and shows advanced techniques how to use our potential. The lecturers are likable and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it.

I wish I had taken this course 25 years ago. That said, this comes at a good time -- I'm pivoting my career. It really feels like applying these lessons could get me from an okay trajectory onto a great trajectory. This is the missing piece!
