I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

Learning How to Learn has helped me understand my learning challenges and how best i can overcome them for better learning. Having an insight on how my brain functions too helps me to adopt the best techniques and habits for learning.

This course changes your perspective towards learning. It unlocked abilities that I believed I did not posses in the past. What you learn from this course can be applied to every aspect of your education as well as in your personal life.

I think it was very useful to explain the methods of learning and how to take advantage of the entire parts of the human mind and focus on the content and not the output and its impact on the person in increasing awareness and creativity

Excellent course to develop lifelong learning skills to keep you advancing in life. This course gives excellent advice for not only learning but also test taking skills. Pomodoro is a very useful and effective method to teaching focus.

Great course, and I am so glad to have taken it! I like that I can refer back to videos when necessary. The information taught has shown me a way to use a brain more effectively when learning. I actual look forward to study new material.

This was a great course to take as a teacher, and connects with many resources I use in class. I will encourage colleagues and students to take it to help their own learning (and as students to take ownership of their brains). Thank-you.

Excellent course for anyone who wants to understand the deeper concepts of learning. You will no longer need to say "I don't do well in exams" because you will learn how to learn subjects instead of simply trying to memorize information.
