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.

Barb and Terry were amazing. They seemed very natural and passionate about sharing learning how to learn. This is the first ever course I took from Coursera. Because of them I am hooked with learning more through Coursera as well.

The material is presented in a pretty interesting manner. I very much so like the format with the shorter videos instead of huge, 45 minute videos that can't be finished in one sitting. Much thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski.

This is one of the best course I've ever taken, great source of wisdom. It teaches that there is no need of suffering but enjoying. It explains that distractions are all out there, but teaches you the way to ignore them and focus.

Me gusto el curso, te enseña aspectos que no son del dominio publico.
Ya lo termine y no se como saber si quedo algo pendiente, creo que conteste todos los examens con excelente calificación, como hago para recibir mi certificado.

This class and its course material was exactly what I needed to get return to the academy and begin learning again. I failed the first time but after this class, I feel very competent and much better capable to get back to school.

This course brought new concepts in the way people learn, and made me re-evaluate my way of thinking. There are a lot of benefits by taking this course, but you should have an open mind and learn how to learn with other methods.

Didn't know how memory or our brain work till I finished this course. Coursera users are interested in learning / improving ourselves, why not starting from this course to apply those techniques you've acquired on your learning!

An amazing journey inside the brain and how its inner cogs and gears can be used to our advantage, especially when one needs to learn new things, break harmful habits and make the best out of his studying. Absolutely recommended.
