It is a very useful course that helped me a lot about how to learn. the course has provided wonderful techniques to study in a more effective and productive way. Dr. Barbara helped us to learn about how our memory works and how to study any subject not just related to our already field of work but anything like math and science.

Often we misunderstand the method of learning the things in right way, and blame your mental capacity of being inefficient to grasp. This course will help you to explore to break your mental barrier and makes learning meaningful and endorse the feeling discovering the right way to learn.

Kudos the team for encrafting this course.

Very interesting and informative course! I `ve got a lot of helpfull tips and methods that can be applied in learning different things and type of knowledge.

PS: And I finally understood why solutions to problems sometimes pops in my head after they were really needed. And how to increase the possibility of them being on time.=)

This is an amazing course! I found many new techniques that helps me learn better! Some techniques of the course I was using for a long time, but didn't know how and why it worked. With that new knowledge I can use it on purpose.

I highly recommend it to anybody who need to learn something new.

...but who not in this day and age?

This was a wonderful course packed with valuable inormation presented in a swift and consistent way. I will probably revisit the material presented here while I implement the techniques on learning during my studies. Thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and everybody who contributed to delivery of this course.

This course guides you to overcome your weakness in any particular field which you find interesting, and will convince you that if you decide to learn something new, you can master it just by following simple learning steps and some helping tools. It will also help you overcome procrastination. Good Luck Learning How to Learn :)

Very insightful, credible, and well-researched! The course has helped me realized the wrong things I've been implementing when it comes to my study habits, while simultaneously helping me become a better learner. I have also learned many other concepts regarding neuroscience. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.

Thanks so much for this wonderful course. I'm a new coursera user so that was the very first course I took and I loved it! There's so much new helpful information I didn't know.Although I think the only problem with this course is it is only four- week course I'd love this course to be longer to get even more tools for learning!

Pienso que este tipo de cursos son muy importantes, si hubieran más cursos como este, mejoraría nuestro aprendizaje diario y la sociedad tendría mejor conocimiento en general del mundo que nos rodea. Pienso que este curso es muy importante para cualquier persona, de cualquier edad, para que mejore su modo de aprendizaje.

Gracias.

I have completed the first week of the course. I am fascinated by these brain facts, and examples of historical figures utilizing and understanding their thought processes! Watching the video lectures by Professors Oakley and Sejnowski is rewarding. They are smart and articulate, and I am powerfully improved by their example.

Extremely easy to understand really love the way that Professor Barbara Oakley teaches , i had a lot of fun and learned so much. Have been able to reignite that spark I once had as a child who used to get straight A , but didn't know how or why and lost it as a young adult , now I understand how that worked. thank you so much.

i thought this can help with my procastination, but actually this gives me a chance to look back and have reflection on my learning years, my method, learning habits, i would really like to take this course ten years ago and it would be of a great help.

as for my procastination, it took me 2 months to finish this course, so.....

Great course! I've always wondered about learning how to learn because in my country schools are not paying attention to how does a brain works or how does a human being understands a new subject efficiently. So, this course has answered a lot of questions that in my mind for a long time. I recommend this course to everyone. :)

This course is well organized with clear explanations of the material. It gives the scientific fundamentals as well as strategies to improve learning ability, in some sense it helps to understand why some "habits" work. Especially liked the optional interview, particularly with Scott Young and Nelson Dellis. Highly recommended.

It was just an amazing course. I went through a rollercoaster ride throughout this course as it helped me figure out where I was exactly going wrong and how I can correct myself now . I would really recommend people to join this course and the mentors are very knowledgeable , sweet and helping. It was worth it.

Thank-you team!

It was a really great course, For all the people who want 100% achievement in their academic goals, and learning new things and mastering it. The tips and tricks mentioned in this course also helps in improving problem solving, strategy making and understating learning human psychology, that can help you in every field of life.

It makes me better. The result is the system how to work on any complicated task. I've tried a lot of different techniques that mentioned in the course, but I had no deep understanding how to really work and why is so important. I've got and understanding of my feelings and some cues what is okay, and what is okay, what is not.

Me gusto mucho este curso, a pesar que mi inglés no es tan bueno me mantuvo muy motivada y aprendiendo palabras nuevas también, trato de repasar las técnicas , gracias a los maestros que hicieron este curso tan interesante y ameno, estoy segura que las enseñanzas que nos han dado seguirán con nosotros en este camino de la vida.

The course is unimaginably useful, simple and entertaining. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski have managed, thanks to their intelligence, friendliness and teaching and communication skills, to create a very interesting and useful course for all audiences. It has been a real pleasure to be able to enjoy learning how to learn

It starts from the actual process we try to learn, its loopholes, the brains activity inside, the outcomes, the new techniques to learn effectively.

One more thing is, they have focused on ways to tackle procastination which i know most of us are struggling with and our memory.

The interviews are must watch. I highly recommend

I believe this course should be required for everyone. And I mean everyone on earth. Every single person on earth should take this course. It is life changing. The most important course that I have ever taken. I wish I taken this course when I was younger and still in school. This course should be a requirement in every school!

This course is wonderful and bittersweet. I was the master of procrastination and "Illusions of competence." I will internalize these tools and use them on my journey through the rest of my life. I plan to teach my son, my family and friends as much as they will let me. I believe this can course and the tools can help them too.

This is a great course. Barbara's book - Mindset - originally inspired me to overcome my perceived short-comings in regards to mathematics and programming. This course is in a sense a course made out of this book. I've thoroughly enjoyed both and can recommend others to follow in doing so. Learn how to learn, you can do it too!

It is very well organized and explained course with easy tests just to recall informations (which is actually one of the techniques to better learn). It is nice to listen to Mrs Barbara's calm voice. I learned earlier how to learn but i found new very usefull techniques in this course :)

Thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

It is fun taking this course. I found the stuffs I learned from the course will benefit me for rest of my life. I highly recommend to people who have an open mind and willing to learn. This course required commitment. Just learn a little bit a day for 4 weeks, you will able to complete the course like I did. Happy Learning!
