Such a Mazing course on how to learn. This course, briefly explains how our brains work and reach when we learn new things and how to retain consistency during learning difficult things. This course explant the basic tips and trick about the overcome anxiety and frustration during learning. I encourage everyone to take this course to understanding how to learn difficult things for long term memory

Very straighrforward class that keeps you motivated. The videos 2min to 5min videos are the perfect lenght, direct to the point and easy to understand. I really like the retrieving from memory tests at the end of some lessons. I am already putting many concepts into practice like Memory Palaces, pomodoro technique for procrastination and chunking for memory. Great course! I highly recommend it.

Great course - if only I knew many years ago, what I know now.

This course makes you believe in yourself; you can do it! It may take a little adjusting to how you approach your project and/or study, but you get the HOWs and WHYs step by step.

Both Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski are excellent, they guide through the course in a very upbeat and energetic manner.

The start of new beginnings for me.

Muchas gracias por la oportunidad de poder aprender más acerca de las herramientas mentales, estoy muy feliz de haber aprendido muchas cosas en el curso. Quedo totalmente agradecida con ustedes y los aliento a seguir con éste tipo de iniciativas que son de muchas ayuda para quienes tenemos ganas de saber más. Recomendado el curso, y los profesores son unos profesionales excelentemente capacitados.

This course changed my life, the way I see the world, the way I learn, how I understand, how I memorize. it is a didactic course, simple to understand, all the readings were interesting, all the guests were incredible and the teachers Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski teach very well, they are very charismatic. The experience I had was unique and I will take it for the rest of my life.

I really enjoy learning about this material. it's not only help in study but also into my life. I learn a lot of things that i didn't realize before that i could do better and thinking widely. Dr.Barbara & Dr.Terrace gave an easy, clear and simple explanation for each topic. So in the end we could understand and apply it in our daily life. Thank you for open up my perspective to learn and my life

I found this really helpful for myself and have been sharing what I'm learning with my teens. So much of this I have had to learn the hard way by trial and error, we really should know how our brains work to gather and store information in a useful way. This course addresses that. There are so many supportive resources added in that I have a wealth of study information to turn to. Thank you, team.

This is a masterpiece of how to learn to learn. There isn't any other way to boost one's intelligence rather than thinking of it. Our brain is a powerful machine which needs reprogramming over and over by learning new things, practicing them will keep our long-term memory healthy. Finally, this course proves that you can regulate your own learning and be self-confident on everything you ship on.

Excellent course. I highly recommend this to help further your understanding of learning. By the end of the course, you will look at thinking differently and question your thought processes in the future. Specifically, they do focus on test taking at the end of the course, although this was a quick topic compared to the rest of the in-depth review of learning throughout the rest of the program.

One of the best courses I've ever taken in coursera!! ♥

The content is very applicable and easy to understand because the professor is EXCELLENT. I believe every student should take this course at least once. It did help me a lot and I am very excited to apply all the techniques on my own studies.

I am very greatful for you guys to have shared all this great information with me. Thank you so much :)

A very accessible and insightful course, underpinned by quality research. The layout and structure of the course is excellent and makes it very easy to follow. The short video lessons allow for bite-size access on a regular basis, which is really good for some time-challenged people. I really enjoyed this course and many thanks to Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski for creating and presenting it so well.

Very interesting course, it is useful for every learner, teaches lots of study techniques (Pomodoro, be in the process, etc) to be very efficient in your studies, tell us about our weakness (like Zombies and Procrastinations) and most importantly tells about importance of sleep and breaks between the studies. Thanks Barbara Oakley , Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and Coursera for such a wonderful course.

Excellent program by Dr. Oakley and D. Sejnowski. This program has been a mind opener for me at 70 years old in understanding my procrastinations and inabilities to focus whenever attempting to join any online programs. Thank you, thank you for this program. I have been recommending the program to every parent I meet so they can help their children with online studies during this pandemic year.

Excelentes tips para dejar de tener miedo de aprender sobre cosas que se nos dificultan y aventurarnos a aprender sobre todo lo que nos interese y vayamos descubriendo a lo largo de nuestras vidas tanto personales como profesionales. Los videos dan analogías muy útiles y los tips son simples pero muy efectivos. Además, aprender (así sea un mínimo) sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro es increíble.

I encourage everyone to attend this course! The Professors do a wonderful job at explaining how neural networks and the brain's structure relate to techniques that we utilise in studying. You come across new techniques and perhaps a few we've known of before, but the difference lies in understanding why they or they don't don't work, which makes it convenient as a learner to improve how we study.

As a newly graduated student from college, I wished I learned these concepts and techniques when I was a freshman. It made me think that, learning how to learn, could have potentially helped me aced exams before when I was still a student. Alas, my time has passed, I recommend these to all future students who wished to feel that the education system is too focused on the product not the process.

I found learning how to learn a very helpful course for improving your learning and how to learn with effective techniques to strengthen your knowledge and expertise in what you are studying or learning. it is like a instruction manual to how to learn. with very kind and helpful instructors who simplify complicated terms and concepts about human brain in a way everyone can grasp and understand.

The instructor is very calm, active, accurate and put some related interviews in some videos in a very thoughtful way. All the time I come back for some reminding, found this course very motivated and helpful. As I love to learn new things, this course has pointed to the majority of knowledge we would have to know to be more successful in our education time. Hope you enjoy and welcome to learn!

I enjoyed Learning How To Learn as it provides a lot of useful insights on learning. These insights help me to be a better learner and a better teacher - as the last part of the course suggests that we should teach others about these techniques then we can confidently say that we have achieved full mastery. In so doing, we are also enriched by the learning and answers that our "students" give us.

refreshing to learn..how i can maximise my learning journey. its been eye opening, inspiring and evoking the spirt of learning and charting new areas of knowledge. i highly reccomend this course to anyone struggling with their studies and thos ethat seek to seppen how to learn anything in life

thank you Barb Oakley, Terry Sejnowski, and the Learning How to Learn Team for putting out these course

When I told my wife the title of the course she immediately did a double take, scoffed, and checked my face to see if I was joking. Learning how to learn seems like a counter-productive skill to master, but it all makes PERFECT sense. If you want to learn more, you should master the ART of learning so you can actually LEARN more.

This course is awesome and I could not recommend it highly enough!

This course is awesome, I considered myself to be a good student, and during this course I learnt that I was a good student because I had discovered various techniques that are taught in this course, I didn't know I knew them and that they were the responsibles for my good grades. I also discovered new techniques that I didn't know, and with them I can now become an excellent student and learner.

Excellent course, both accessible and precise explanations of the psychology and neurology of learning, from very visual explanations at first to very detailed explanations later, with many concrete advice and examples of how to spend your learning time more efficiently, and many ressources to dig further into the recent underlying research papers. Should be taught mandatorily in all highschools.

This course provides effective and efficient tools to practically learn anything! I originally thought the course would mention skills and traits that are common in the productivity sphere. This course brought us new ideas with backed-up research and evidence on why is it much more effective. Lastly, the optional contents are totally worth a try and listen, to since it elaborates the ideas more!

Comprehensive study in functioning of the brain in the learning process told in a friendly and easy-to-grasp manner. The course is divided in small videos and contains a lot of useful tips to master learning. It has tests after each topic. One minus is that it's no really beautiful in design - I would really wish to see an appealing design and videos made more professionally, not like in the 90s
