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!

I can't stress enough how amazing this class is. I wish I had taken it before my bachelors degree, I'm sure I would have done even better! Two topics that were very relevant to me in this course were how to tackle procrastination and focused vs. diffused thinking.

I don't have too much to say. However this course is highly suggested if you are having hard times studying and focusing. It helped me manage how to study and also I've become more focused and aware of how I was learning. It helped me out in everyday life as well.

It is a small investment of my time with big returns. I now have a much better understanding of how brain works (in lay man terms) in learning, and some tools to help me become a better learner. I recommend this course to anyone who aspires to a life-long learner.

This course has helped me to realize what are really effective habits for self-study and learning, both by reinforcing good habits I am aware of with scientific evidence, and introducing new ways to approach self learning. Probably the best MOOC I've ever taken.

It truly shapes the way of my thinking to be more structured, although I cannot say it scientifically with references as proof, but this course must be owned and undertaken by all students, employers, and very important to those who are in the educational sector.

Great information on how to study effectively. These concepts are easily applied to any course or future learning you may endeavor in. Some things you may already do by habit, but it's good to know they are the correct practice and you should continue doing them.

Un nuovo modo di guardare all'apprendimento. La consapevolezza di certi meccanismi apre prospettive entusiasmanti sulla capacità di ognuno di Noi di imparare cose sempre nuove anche su ambiti che reputiamo lontani dal nostro BackGround oppure troppo difficoltosi.
