This course is very helpful in terms of discovering effective methods of learning (the ones you maybe use at the moment and ones you have never heard of). While taking this course you learn many things about yourself as a person and gives you, as it gave to me, motivation to take new self-learning endeavors!

This is one of the best courses that I have attended in a long time. The course was structured very well and some of the concepts and techniques were very informative and useful. I learned a lot of valuable things and I feel these tips and techniques will come a long way in all my future learning adventures.

The Coursera course, "Learning How to Learn", was an informative and interesting class that helped me gain a deeper understanding of study methods. I was able to reflect on my own study habits and identify which study habits of mine were ineffective. I highly recommend this course for all levels of learners!

A must !

Unfortunately the modern educational system ( most of the time in many countries ) is counter-productive.

A must-to-take course for students in order to learn better and release anxiety

Also important for teachers so they can bring the best of their teaching experience to students, based on this course

I am glad that I decided to participate in this course. I have learnt quite a lot and have realized the errors I have committed in learning. I would review the videos even after I've finished this course until the ideas really ingrained in my psyche and really practice what I have learnt here in this course.

I am grateful I have had the opportunity to study this course. Each student is able to find valuable information, inspiration and supportive energy in Coursera's course Learning How to Learn created by: University of California San Diego. Taught by: Linda Walker, Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski

Powerful tools of Neurology, Psychology, the psyche and even human exercise to help you learn about the human brain and its role in learning. A must for anyone who wants to learn how to learn. Thank you Barbara Oakley, Terry Sejnowski and the other woman involved for this opportunity to learn from the great.

I am pleased with the course content. I learnt many new concepts in the process of learning which I heard for the first time - like chunking, interleaving, einstellung, and memory palace. I will now avoid illusions of competence and will use recall plus deliberate practice in order to learn more effectively.

This course is very helpful to those who doubt themselves and think that learning new subject is way to hard for them, but this course is also effective for those who have an illusion to-know-it-all. It helps in better understanding on how your brain works and how to make it a better instrument for learning.

I have tried to be responsible for my own learning for years since I graduated. And I am always being troubled by the fact that the progress I've made is too slow because of my poor memory. This course offers many useful techniques which I believe will definitely give me a hand to my coming learning process.

This course was fun. Even though most of the techniques presented in it are very simple they are effective. Helped me to organize my work and better focus on single tasks. No secret powerful sacred tools that will make a superhuman if you are looking for this kind of course. You still need to work a lot :).

no sólo son principios sobre el aprendizaje, sino que además estimulan a desarrollar el mayor potencial de nuestros tiempos de estudios... expande el entendimiento y eleva la comprensión respecto a la necesidad de cultivar la mente como parte del cuidado a la salud fisica y emocional... una ayuda integral...

This course is fun and educational at the same time, providing hundreds of useful learning techniques, facts and tips. Learning is a life-long process, and I must say that it's Dr. Oakley's personality that largely inspires me to finish the course and have confidence in my future learning. Thank you so much!

This is the most important topic, because it can help one in any field.

The explanations were very effective and avoided maximum techinical or critical scientific terms to make the subject easy for common people. By testing and repetation of key concept made the important basics concrete.

Thak you very much.

Outstanding course on a passion ting domain for someone like me who likes to learn. I would have loved to know all this much younger (I am 50), but anyway I have good and solid tips and knowledge now. Warm thanks to the pdegogical team ! simply Excellent ! I am recommending that course to all my friends !!!

I am really glad that I took this course. it has already changed my life as I believe that I can now learn anything I want to turn my life around. This course is actually a gift for life and this quote by Cajal: "perseverance is the virtue of the less brilliant" will stay with me forever. Thank you so much!

I find understanding how we learn very helpful to be an efficient, effective and strategic learner as well as the techniques and strategies for studying, memorizing and beating procrastination. I really love how they explain learning in terms of cognitive pyschology, educational pyschology and neuroscience.

Excellent information provided by the lecturers with a good pace and knowledgeable teaching method/ Excelente información proporcionada por los instructores con un buen tiempo y método de enseñanza impecable. Altamente recomendado este curso para todo el que quiera mejorar profesionalmente y personalmente.

This course has helped me with my learning and my most problematic issue: procrastination! I highly recommend this course to all those people who are learning something, whether it's a new language, or learning how to play baseball. It also is tremendously profitable to those students who have test anxiety.

Creo que el curso me dio un gran insight del proceso que es el aprendizaje. Si bien es relativo respecto a lo que hago en la vida real, creo que es un curso muy practico que te ayuda a entender a fondo el proceso y reconocer posibles errores o habitos enfocados de una manera menos productiva. Muy alentador!

So many amazing things to become a better learner! At the beginning, it was a little hard to adjust myself in the new way of learning. But DO NOT skip any chapter, you will see everything is connecting. At the end, you will see in yourselves only positive and innovative ways concerning the learning process.

Its an excellent course, which provides you the basics of how to learn and remember in a very logical and sequential manner. Loved the way how instructors keep interest of learners throughout the course. BEST ONE for learning. Praises and thanks to instructors and complete team involved in it. Best Regards

In this course I realized some errors in my previous study techniques, but now I improved my study habits thanks to this information, which really helped me a lot. It was the first course I completed, because it motivated me a lot, the teachers explain very well. Thank you for sharing your study techniques.

I really love this course. I enjoy learning very much, but after taking this course, I think I can learn new things effectively. I also love the Competence of Illusion of Competence Chapter, for so much things I think I master it, I actually know only the basic and I am on my way to improve that. Thank you!

The concepts mentioned about the diffused and focused mode are just brilliant and a must try. Education would have been so better if someone had taught the concepts taught here. Really good course to learn no matter the age and field you are in. I wish colleges and schools teach this course before anything.
