I highly recommend everyone to take this course, you can learn a lot on how your brain works and consequently have a very strong idea on how to learn everything that you want in your life! Barbara is amazing and a really motivating person! I also recommend to watch all the optional interviews because they are made with amazing people that teach you and inspire you a lot... Thank you to the people who made this course!

This course is amazing! It provides a scientifically supported practical toolkit for successful learning. I wish I could learn it before my academic studies because it would definitely make my life easier and my learning experience more effective and relaxed. Fortunately, now I can share it with my children and also use some insights for achieving my career goals and "sharpening the saw". Thanks a lot, Barb and Terry!

This is an excellent course - I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning especially people who believe that they CANNOT learn certain things AFTER a certain age. I am deeply grateful to the two very knowledgeable and learned instructors for the confidence instilled in me for learning newer things effectively.

What one learns with pleasure, one never forgets. This course pretty much satisfies that criterion.

This course is a must. It explains a lot of key concepts that prove essential for anyone who wants to be a more efficient learner on any subject.

The various topics are presented in a fun and easy way. And in case you don't get it just rewind the video or look for help on the discussion boards.

Another plus are the various interviews with people sharing experiences and difficulties on their specific areas of knowledge.

Brilliant! It may sounds overenthusiastic, but this course enriched my life dramatically. I've got a completely new perspective on how to learn. Even only two weeks after passing the final test and finishing this course I can avouch my learning process has improved up to a new level, both in terms of effectivity and efficiency.

Bottom Line: It doesn't matter who you are or what you are specializing in - do this course!

My only regret about taking this course is not having taken it sooner! I'm in the midst of a career transition and was growing more and more frustrated at my inefficiency in retaining the material long-term. This course really shed some light as to how and why some of my bad study habits from my college days weren't doing me any favors and helped reframe my understanding of how the brain functions, as well as memory.

Learning How to Learn is a great course for those who want to clearly understand our brain functions and habits for building new skills, thinking and learning methods in focused and diffused modes for much more effective results in our work and studies, spaced repetition for long-term memory building, chunking for acquiring new things, time management and avoiding procrastination by using the Pomodoro technique, etc.

This is a great course to take. Why? Leaning How to Learn will not only teach you how you should learn but why the way you have been learning may have been counterproductive in learning effectively. There are a lot of techniques backed by researched data proven to help you become a better learner, a better thinker and a better student over all. Trust me and check it out for yourself and you will not be disappointed.

I especially liked the visualization with cartoons and the effort Professor Bloom puts into not only explaining the theories but also showing different perspectives on why they are solid or less solid, applicable or less applicable, and also show the evolution of psychology over time. It made me feel like learning more. Maybe about positive psychology, neuroscience, constructivism or even mental disorders. Let's see!

Es war für mich ein besonders Erlebnis und eine grosse Hilfe. Es hat mir die Kraft gegeben, wieder an mich zu glauben und weiter zu lernen, etwas was ich meinem ganzen Leben über mache und liebe. Mrs Oakley ist eine ruhige Kraft, hat mich, mit ihrer beruhigende Stimme, unheimlich motiviert und durch ihre klare Stimme und langsames Sprechen, auch mit meine Englischkenntnise weitergeholfen. Sehr dankbar und glücklich.

This is a great course. I recommend it to everyone. It helps us get the right mental tools in our mental toolkit to help learn materials easily, efficiently and with less frustration. It covers techniques to overcome all hindrance in the path of learning like procrastination, the problem in memorizing, the problem in understanding and solving difficult materials. Just GO for this course. It's totally worth the time.

thats the way to learn!

im thankfull for your help so much.

i think that this is the way to push the human kind forward, by giving people lacking the tools , and option to educate them selves and fulfilling their purpose in life, and by this making their lifes better, the peoples around them lifes better and many more peoples lives better,

im Mark rudis, thank you for watching, my comment about learning how to learn.

I've had a magical journey through learning how to learn new things during this course and enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you dear Prof. Oakley for giving me such a great opportunity. First I read your book "A Mind For Numbers." I think Everyone should read it! So interesting and useful. Also thanks a lot Dr. Sejnowski for the precious information about keeping our new neurons alive, via learning and exercise. :)

This course should be taken by everyone on Earth. Everybody can learn something from this course on how to become a more effective learner. It's a shame that a course like this is not mandatory. Dr. Oakley is a PHENOMENAL educator whose teaching style is unparalleled. This is one of the best, if not THE BEST, course that I've ever taken. Do yourself a favor and at least try it because you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Very informative. It covers the main aspects of learning and, best of all it's backed by scientific researches that actually alllow to better understand all your behaviours when talking about learning a new thing. Because that is what they teach you, how to familiarize, learn and master any skill. It's also great for ESL students as the course is presented is a clear manner and with subtitles in different languages.

I was a classroom teacher in the 90s, an early adopter of technology, and I earned my Master of Education in the days of the Arab Spring, when blended learning was emerging as the most effective technology enhanced strategy. All the same, not only did I receive a 21st century, evidence-based upgrade to my knowledge of learning theory, but I witnessed first-hand how to design and deliver a "sticky MOOC." Thanks, L2L!

An excellent course on Learning. I have enjoyed all the materials introduced here; it's original, well presented and explained clearly. You can see from the way that they have designed the course that they apply what they preach; for example regular, mini-practice tests placed along the way before the actual quizzes to help us master the material in hand. And it works as you can feel that you are making progress.

An amazing course which can be seen as a helpful tool to better learning from any subject and from life in general, as a coching session helping you to organise your learning and at the same time your daily work or tasks and a motivational course which makes you understand that (learning) everything is possible. It changed my way to think and to welcome my new tasks or learning sessions with motivation and patience.

I wholeheartedly loved this course! Which I think...says a lot. I feel I got way more out of this course, in terms of applicable life tools, than I even thought when I initially signed up. Understanding what is going on in my brain, throughout the learning process, is a valuable tool that will support me while learning something new! The team who put this course together did a fantastic job! I loved it. Thank you!!!

This course has exceeded my expectations. I learnt very useful tools to improve my learning and have a strong state of mind avoiding learning hindrances.

Ms.Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski were great in each lecture due to their domine of the topics and a clear and practical approach of the information presented.

I would recommend this course to everybody who´s welling for learning how to learn based in a scientific backup.

This course changed my perspective about the process of learning.It gave me a deep understanding of how my brain works.It also provided important facts about memory and significant techniques such as the pomodoro and memory palace. Dr Oakely gave some really helpful tips to help overcome your stress during tests and showed how to make the best use of your neural system.

I'm really happy that I learned how to learn :)

Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects; is a course that not just teaches you about new learning techniques, but also teaches you about new ways to approach old and traditional learning techniques. In short, this course teaches you to give due importance to the PROCESS of learning rather than the PRODUCT, thus challenging the traditional belief of the formal education system.

This course has helped me immensely in terms of understanding how the mind works and how to use highly effective techniques to help in learning. I have also been able to remove procrastination from my daily tasks which was a hindrance to progress in learning and lifestyle. I feel more confident in my skills and abilities and look forward to learning more things and enjoy the process of learning. Highly recommended.

This course was beneficial and helped me as I work on the second part of my career, which will require intense learning of new skill sets and the ability to tackle my procrastination habit.

This course was beneficial with tips and providing an understanding of why we do the things we do — dating back to habits formed in early school days.

Thank you for the clarity and confidence now to chase my future career dreams.

Really useful, it is great to get some insights into how our brains work when we study. Some of the stuff seems obvious, but I found that I did not really understand why things work or do not work. Now I do and it is interesting, I have found myself being able to actually give advice to people studying, which is something I would have been reluctant to try before the course! I recommend this course, please take it.
