I found in this course interesting and helpful ideas and research about the way our brains work and how we can improve our learning ability. The material was accesible and enjoyable. It can be helpful to people of all ages who are interested in learning.

Loved this course! I've always had trouble getting things to stick in my long term memory when studying, and now I know why!! I'm walking away with several new approaches to learn the things that are important. It will be interesting to see the results.

Fantastic course. Wish I would have taken this years ago to learn and retain concepts better. The course is very well taught and I love how it doesn't expire like so many other courses as it gives me time to review concepts and truly go at my own pace.

It's a fantastic course,very useful for students and everybody.Thanks for coursera for offering this course.I have learn alot by this course.Thank you so much for all the teachers who tough us very well,and all of the team of coursera for your hard work.

It really did what it told me it would do: it helped me learn how to learn. Before I started, I had hated learning, I had had enough, but now I'm excited to learn new things (my final semester starts tomorrow, so it came at the very best time it could)!!

Incredible course, with really valuable information!

If you are interested in how your brain works and what you can do to make it more efficient this is a MUST!

A very big THANK YOU to the lecturers and their efforts to bring this knowledge to the world!

I loved the way that Barbara and the professor handle the various topics, it was really a good push towards deveoloping a nice interest in neuroscience for my self, i will treat all the concepts learned in this course as a treasure! Thank you very much!

Learning is a lifestyle that we have in our life, whether we like it or not, and so it is crucial that you give this course a shot, as it will not only help you learn more efficiently but will have you attain a more sustainable and productive lifestyle.

This course was a great insight for me, as I plan to do my Master degree soon. After working for 10 years I already forgot how to be a student and do your best at the studies. I am very positive the knowledge I got at this course will help me a lot!

Very Good! I was able to understand the relationship between the brain and learning. I thought it would be nice to study by making good use of the concentration mode and the rest mode. Also, you get a lot of information you need for learning. thank you.

This is one of the most comprehensive courses on the subject of learning there is. I just wish the topics and the way this course is made, would become a standard in all schools worldwide. This would make the educational process more fun and intuitive.

My first mooc and certainly not my last. I learned a lot of valuable information. I think the most valuable concepts was the diffused mode, the importance of retrival practise and the all important sleep.

I will certainly be back on Coursera soon again.

Barbara made it so easy to retain the information. Her voice is very soothing. Every time she said "I'm Barbara Oakley, thanks for learning how to learn." I would say "Thank you, Barbara." I loved this course and I'm grateful that I was able to take it.

I loved it! I will definitely apply all of what i learned to my life. I liked a lot that it approached all of the test taking situation and anxiety tips to handle it. I wish i had this course several years before, but well, it's never too late, right?

Realmente es un curso que te llena de tantos conocimientos y diferentes formas de aprendizaje, entrevistan a diferentes personas y nos dan sus ejemplos de vida y como llevarlo en acción; sin duda alguna, es un excelente curso que todos deberían llevar!!

Inspiring and actionable. The instructors were engaging (loved them both, as well as their "guests") and the classes were fun! It truly re-ignited a passion for learning and helped me get out of the "low-energy" mode I found myself in for the last year.

It's my interesting experience in learning that course. With the knowledge and useful tips that be mentioned in the course, I have another perspective about how I can learn in an effective way. Thanks to the teachers and organizational teams! Great Job!

The course is very very useful. A lot of things I learned from this course is applicable not only to learning or studying at university or at school but to everyday life and career development. Big kudos to the course team. You guys did a wonderful job!

I love this course, this is perfect course if really wanna know the real concept of learning. Many times I applied this techniques but I never knew what was the science of this technique but now I realize many things just because of this course.

love it.

I loved the enthusiasm of the academics and the way they could explain complicated ideas in an accessible fashion. The course has given me strategies and information that I hope to use in my own learning but also my teaching. Thanks for a 5 star course!

I underestimated this course, it has so many important points in it that even after months, I still use them while I study or try to be productive while completing tasks! It is the perfect course to get started with online learning. I really enjoyed it.

I really loved this course, because it's amazing in being simultaneously easy and packed with useful information that will inevitably improve your quality of learning. I hope my life will become a lot more interesting now that I have passed this course.

Be more confident with your study techniques, sometimes you feel that the hard working will pay off, but help yourself with this course to make it an efficient effort. Since i might study for the rest of my life it is nice to learn how to do it properly

It has become a life changing course for me. I feel more confident and focused now as now I know that key for focus and attention and learning is in my hand. I will able to guide and students and my children in a better way in the proccess of learning.

We just jump into learning in schools and continue to struggle in it through our life. But we should stop for a while and see how we learn and check if we can improve our learning ability. By taking this course, you will improve on learning efficiently.
