It is an excellent course, excellent instructors. Although I am not a specialist in the complex concepts that the topics involve, the Doctors expose them in a simple way without losing objectivity or trivializing them. The bibliography is very complete and well directed. I just really appreciate the opportunity to participate in this course.

I feel myself in a classroom, having the best mentors instruct me and preparing me for this training. I can't wait to met them again, and i will definitely continuing to have my trainings with COURSERA. Thank you to Mrs. Barbara and Mr. Terrence, for there precious time doing this valuable training to all. My best Regards, and see you soon.

In this course, I learned more about advanced learning techniques and techniques I didn't know.Thank you to the professors for their very creative, colorful and easily sensible communication and lecture. a great recommendation for all future students because I believe that it will mean a lot to them both in their studies and in everyday life

Honestly one of the best things I've done for myself in a long time. My thanks to professors Oakly and Sejnowski for their excellent presentation and consistent positive good will. The course will teach you a great deal about how to pursue your educational goals with strategic, reasoned methods.

Thanks for this one, Coursera. I appreciate it.

A very powerful course to help students to do better to learn a skill or subject. This course is wonderfully oriented. It was enjoyable to watch and listen. I learned a lot from both professors. They are very talented and wise. Specially Miss Barbara is an excellent speaker. I hope everyone will do this course and get an idea about learning.

This course was amazing. In addition to teaching learning techniques, they also incorporated those techniques into teaching. The end result is that you learned how to learn even better.

I recommend this course to anyone pursuing I.T certifications were you often learn to pass the exams. But afterwards wondered where all that knowledge went.

This course should be taught to individuals pursuing a teaching credential. I wish I had this information when I began teaching 20 years ago. It would have been a benefit to my former students. My current students have received valuable tips. They have been using the techniques over the last few weeks and are showing tremendous improvement.

This course helps all the things we have to do before start to study. The pomodoro technique is interesting, it helps to control the procrastination. I love the importance of the process, always think about it and don't think about the product. The mindset is important too. We have to win our fears and especially always believe in ourselves.

Hats off to a great and well-rounded course (my first here on Coursera) with wonderful mentors, interesting tasks, useful tricks and info for studying and test-taking, and more! I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their learning methods or skills in any field, and also to anyone who values life-long learning. Cheers!

Frankly speaking I didn't think there will be anything useful for me to learn, but in this case I am pleasantly surprised. Concentrated and easy to acquire knowledge of how to deal with certain issues, unleash cognitive powers of ones brain and overcome "inner" couch potato monster with few simple tricks - can't wait to put it into practice!

Highly rated course.

This should be a basic learning for every student from about 12 to 77 years old at least. For youngers, it would be very intersting to adapt this course since it looks like it is not an option sor successful studies... Thank you very much to Barbara OAKLEY and other teachers.Thank you to San Diego University and Coursera.

a great course , and perhaps the best one for every human being who wants to learn , it provides you with so much knowledge and great tips to learning , and i'm sure from now on doing what i learned in this wonderful course , i'll be a better learner and a better student , thank you so much for providing us with this powerful mental tools .

I must admit this was a great pleasure attending this course. The course is high level one, with a lot of interesting videos and the diction of the lecturers during the was excellent , which is very important for us, as students learning from home. The researches were very interesting and we can learn a lot from these videos. Thank you all.

This course was a breath of fresh air compared to all the other courses. I actually enjoyed learning how our brains work when we study something new, or when we try to do our tasks/tests. This is something that should be discussed with children in schools! It will surely help them be better students and more importantly, life-long learners.

This course was really useful not only for me ,but for all my students. Since I am a teacher I do understand how important it is for kids to be able to learn difficult things in a short period of time. Now they know how to learn efficiently and get ready for the tests. Thank you dear colleagues for all the knowledge that you shared with us.

I found every bit of content useful. I did this because I teach at a secondary school and wanted to check out how useful this course might be for my students. I'll be recommending that all of them do it. One thing I would add is a topic on How students can help themselves find things out. Too often, they just want to be spoon fed. Thanks

Learned so many useful techniques and insights, easy trickes and tips, controlling anxiety, and more interesting info about how ou brains work. I really wished to came across this course before I finished all my school, university, and master courses(lol) but there yet so much to learn. Thank you so much. Just Start and you won't regret it.

This course is ideal!

... for students,

..... for first-time user of MOOC like coursera,

... for people who want to acquire new skills / want to learn

... for enthusiats in neuroscience and and the brain

Because it is extremly well presented, it is fairly short - only 4 weeks and it provide instant tools and techniques of immediate application.

Thank I've understand a lot of different things that happened to me when I was in college and I was wondering how was possible, however I remember a similar course that was offered to me at first year of college I was thinking I supposed to boring and not interesting. Now I'm sure how wrong I was.

Thanks Barbara and the rest of the team!!!

This is one of the best course online - its a pre-course to all the MOOC learning we are going to do in future. Everyone who is thinking of learning and developing skills online as a part of their lives then they should start from this course. Both instructors are pretty cool and everything is explained in best possible way. 5 stars course.

This strong scientific backed course has provided me with new understanding about how my brain works and how I could cooperate daily exercises to help me strengthen my learning. With helpful tips and methods, Dr. Oakley gives you the power to achieve the knowledge you want, as for any age and professions, especially the life-long learners.

Great course. very interactive and easy to learn. learning capacity and learning techniques taught in this course are very interesting especially the Pomodor and Procrastination lectures were very helpful. Last but not the least, the instructors are very very great, they taught the course in a very easy and endoyable way. Happy Learning!

It is an amazing course, which really helped me to learn better, easier and understand some processes such as diffuse and concentrated mode and others. Thank you for preparing it, it is really such a loss that students do not learn about it school or at the university... Anyway, I feel really grateful that I find out about it and enrolled!

Amazing course! I believe it should be teached in school. Although I'm not actively studying anywhere now, all information was actual and important! For example, I've learned how to form a new habits, tackle procrastination, how memory works and many-many other things. Thanks for teaching how to learn, Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski :)

I am very satisfied with this course because i learned a lot of techniques and modes which i can use to further improve my capacity to learn.I would also recommend this course to my friends as the techniques taught here are very valuable for life. Hats-off to Dr. Barbara and Dr.Terry for coming up with such a wonderful and flexible course.
