Very useful. Explained how the brain - mind and memory - works, and showed techniques for learning more effectively. Wish I'd known about this stuff while I actually went to high-school and college!

What a fantastic course by Professor Oakley, she was a treat to listen to. I highly recommend pairing this course with her book, A Mind for Numbers. Reading alongside the course is a great way to get in to the spaced repetition and recall that are key concepts of this Course.

The lectures and the testing were valuable ways to learn the material. I used some memory and visualization techniques and was able to remember much of the material. It was not difficult but gave me a lot of confidence to tackle something harder. I may try a math class soon.

It was very efficient to alarm me of the wrong paths I've been taking at the hour of studying or taking a test, It gave me some techniques to avoid, prevent and "fight" procrastination, and It was useful at the hour of knowing "what was behind" all of the process of learning.

I enjoyed the course. Well researched, rich content, easy to understand by a person without an in-depth knowledge of the subject. I will definitely use the acquired knowledge into my upcoming learning opportunities and also share them with my child to assist with her studies.

Very insightful course. I corroborate many of the methods presented here like mini-testing, recall and illusions of competence with my own experience before taking the course which I used to apply subconsciously, per se. Highly recommend this course to all learners out there.

The single most useful course on Coursera that everyone should take, because what it teaches can be applied to many aspects in life, not just related to school-type learning. Bite-size videos make participants easier to finish, and the course book is a very useful supplement.

This is a very nicely compiled course, explaining in detail how the mind works. Personally I liked the focused and diffused thinking and how it helps in improving the creativity. I am of the opinion that this course should be taken by high school grade students and teachers.

The course is brimming with practical tips and packed with interesting articles (now saved to my reading list), and interviews. Professor Oakley's approach is engaging and entertaining. I actually finished this ahead of my self-imposed deadline. I am beyond glad I enrolled.
