Very interesting course. All important issues of learning processes are highlighted. However, for practice, each issue must be dealt with independently by other sources. It will take ten times more time to do this.
Thank you

Had a great time figuring out that I really don't know anything because I've never taken the time to learn anything appropriately. This class would have been really useful when I was in college before I received my degree.

This is an excellent course. Honestly speaking, it give me a different perspective to approach learning. If teachers start taking this course as a guideline, they can help their students overcome their leaning frustrations.

The course is so great. I d suggest Coursera promotes it to be passed by most of newbies visitors of the website as it really encourages to study new subjects; and obviously, Coursera is the easiest way to learn new skills

For me, it's not only about learning methods, but also a methodology for problem solving, and it's presented in a learner-friendly way. Mrs Oakley has been talking like a senior in my family ( in a good way), just love it.

The Course is Really Informative and Very Helpful Learning Strategies.
It has removed my one of the biggest misconceptions about learning, i.e if we know the correct technique, we can learn anything irrespective of the age.
