I took this course for two reasons. 1. It’s a Prerequisite for a Badge Program I’m in called The Strenuous Life. 2. The old adage of you can’t “Teach an Old Dog New Tricks” is a false statement. Old Dogs ( Me) love to learn New Tricks! Learning is one of the only constants in Life!

In the digital era, we met several people who we do not in real life. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski are the best examples of that concept I think. I am thankful to Coursera and my teachers, looking forward to encounter in new courses and hopefully meet personally in one day!

This is the course which is 'i say' made for me brilliant work both professors and it helps me alot to overcome prcastination (habit of delaying work) and making learning a habit is so important in your life..

At the end only HABITS are matter in your life...

Thank you from INDIA🙏

Great class! I recommend it for any student looking to optimize their learning. The instructors are very effective and teach some extremely useful techniques for improving learning. I wish I would have learned these techniques before graduating with my bachelors and masters degrees!

I have always think that studying means to sit down for hours and hours, repeating what you want to learn, which I did not do of course, but now after finishing this course is have learned the right and correct way to do it, and learning become much easier and way more interesting.

This is an excellent course, the information is easy to understand yet you can find all the research to back it up in the sources, the delivery is excellent and the examples and analogies so well done you will get something even if you were already familiar with most of the content.

This course has helped me grasp how to learn and I'm so grateful for it. I'm now looking forward to any and all challenges, projects, learning etc. in any field I choose to get into. I now know for certain that I can be a rocket scientist, if I choose to. Highly, highly recommended.

This course is very beneficial, it is an eye opener on some great points that help accomplish learning goals and exploring oneself, it sheds the light on brain functions in learning and summarizes a list of useful key techniques that I believe will help me in my learning experience.

I loved the ideas, tips, and insights this course offered. Professor Barbara Oakley is wonderful, and I appreciated her demeanor and overall being. The Pomodoro technique has been extremely useful, and I'm looking forward to applying the other methods on more of my Coursera Studies.

Everyone should take this course at least once in their life. The content in this course will be very transformative in my daily life. I'm looking forward to applying the lessons I learned here to all aspects in my life. Will definitely retake this course at least once a year or so.

There are effective ways to learn and one might not be fully aware of such tools generally. Sometimes we might be aware of it but seldom put them to use. Many people like me who wants to learn but wonders why the enthusiasm alone does not make learning easy should take this course.

I'm just about to start Week 4 of this most interesting course on Learning. Barbara is clear and concise, and every section opens my eyes to even more ways of "learning how to learn". All round, this has exceeded my expectations. Thank you University of California from a UK student.

This MOOC is perfect! I felt during this course that I should progress in my studies. My mind had a transformation. I'm applying some techniques to my routine now and it seems like I'm learning more in less time. Thank you for carefully making this material available to the public.

Absolutely life changing if you are motivated to changing your own life by taking these courses and applying them to your life goals. Thank you to the team for putting this course together and giving me the push and confidence to keep going and changing my life for a better future.

Thank you so much for spending much time arranging this course. I could understand more learning methods I haven't known before and really hope that I could improve my learning skills by applying what I have learned from this course. Much love from Indonesia. Once again, thank you!

It's been fruitful learning and surely have given me an opportunity to reflect my learning skills. I acquired new knowledge that will contribute to my future learning process. It was a well invest subject. Thank you. Looking forward to more topics to further enhance my development.

This course was wonderful. It teaches valuable skills and techniques with wide applicability that can easily be applied. Additionally, it addresses overcoming learning procrastination. Most importantly it sends the message that you can persevere to reach your learning/career goals.

I have a lot of many things. I can't believe that my full thinking got change by leaning this course. I have got so much improvements in so many time. My only regret is this, I should have this course little earlier in my Life, I am so much happy. Thank you so much for this Course.

It helped me understanding the way our brain works while learning.This courses includes many practical and effective memory techniques that I think can help learners to learn effectively.A big thank you to the both the instructors and coursera to come up with such a helpful course.

Great course: quite small, but very clear and usable format of delivering information, and I love the calm enthusiasm from the instructors. Kind of confirms a lot of what I already noticed, but it's great to know there's science behind it: no excuse not to practice these ideas now!

This is fantastic course for those who want to maybe start learning hard topics of those people who are freshman in Undergraduate program (But can be useful for every age group). This course doesn't contain any pre-requisite knowledge beside knowing English. You should take it .

This course has helped a lot in learning how to learn with different approaches which I have never thought of before, the processes explained in this course has helped me retain a lot of new information and I could complete most of my study and other research work at the same time.

Such an amazing course, I highly recommend this course to everyone. If you want to become sharper, improve your memory or just see where your at and want to learn new things, this course gives you the tools and frame of mind to be able to learn anything competently and efficiently.

I learned so much in this course. Not only did it improve my work and learning since week 1, I'm now finding myself quoting it to friends and teaching them some of the valuable techniques covered. Also, the time commitment is not that big and there is a huge payoff for a long time!

Simples yet effective tools to help you learn better. I've already started implementing some of the things I learned in this course and I hope to have opportunities to put more into practice in the future. I'm sure I'll be able to expand my potential and my ability to learn better.
