The course offers valuable information not only for students. I very much enjoyed funny and well prepared videos. Also the interviews with different guests added much to my understanding of the process of learning. Great job, thank you!

Amazing course that it's definitely helping me to improve my study skills! I recommend to everybody who is having problems with studying effectively or with procastrination! It also has very interesting interviews and reading materials!

I highly recommend this to anyone who has trouble with procrastination and with struggling to teach themselves. It does an amazing job of teaching you how your brain works and how to tackle tough subjects you never thought you could do.

I was never a very good and or disciplined student growing up. I can see now that was due to the fact I never really learned "how" to learn effectively. This course has given me the tools in order to learn new and challenging topics.

It was an amazing and full of fun course I really enjoyed it and used some techniques mentioned directly in taking the course and in other study materials. I am a bit sad that it is finished and would like to learn more with the tutors

This was a great course for me having decided to go back to school online after many years of being out of school. If you are a new student fresh out of highschool or an oldie but a goodie like me.. you will find value in this course.

This is certainly the best course I've ever done in my life.Life changing and truly fascniating in all aspects. Thank you Barabara Oakley, Terry Sejnowski and the entire team involved in making this course possible. Thank you Coursera.

I learned several new thigns from this course that I am going to apply to my daily life and any new thing that I need to learn. There were things in this course that I wish I had know when I was in school, both high school and college.

This course is really helpful as it gives areat insights into our minds and how our brain works when we learn. The test taking tips are really useful. This course should be taught in all schools as it would really benefit the students.

I love this class as much as I love learning new things. And this class made me understand even more about "how" to learn and "how" my brain works behind. I hope anyway who's into learning should all participate in this amazing class.

This course is amazing to gain insight on new ways of learning and retaining what you've learned. I highly recommend it for anyone who has been out of school for a while. It's extremely helpful and the instructors are great. Thank you!

this course is much much much important for all students and collegues ,for student either in primary, high school and in college . for collegue to learn how to improve these skills or tricks in their students . iam really thank you .

A very well presented course which help me to do better no matter what I now do in the future.

The course is great! It allowed me to enhances my knowledge of learning. Methods like interleaving or mentioned in one optional article "30-second habits" are great and I've already seen the effects of using these techniques on myself.

A good investment of your time! Easy to understand and brings a better studying experience. This course cover studying habit, deeper understanding of our brain, and several helpful techniques to raise your efficiency in study. Love it!

Definitely get the companion book (A Mind For Numbers) to read along with the course. I found the chapters on procrastination most clear and helpful in terms of my learning process. This course is definitely geared towards STEM fields.

A very interesting and refreshing course. It learned me, to look at a different way to studying. Thinks I have to change to become a better student.

I already practice the things I learned, and it certainly improved my studying already.

Loved it. Although most of the techniques mentioned seem obvious at first, I believe there is A LOT of value in being aware of how our brains behave, and how we can all use our brains more optimally to learn new things and be creative.

I could not enjoy this course more. I could not think that there are many techniques how to effectively learn. And it truly works.

Very nice course on introduction to learning and how to learn better. Also covers overcoming procrastination and emotional obstacles we have. The course covers some research on the subject and also teaches a few memorization techniques

Very interesting and helpful. The ideas and concepts are not always new, but explained and suggested the way so that you won't misuse them. Additionally there are interesting insights into the brain architecture and some hormones role.

I really learned a lot. My particular favourites were understanding about procrastination and overlearning which both resonated for me. The Pomodoro Technique and a few different memory techniques are great tools to help with learning.

Good course, I understand more about the learning process. Also learning tips, skills, techniques are provide. I recommend this course to everyone. Knowing how to learn is important, useful, and can help you for your future. Thank you!

An amazing course giving you all kinds of in an outs on how to learn. I actually miss the weekly moments I used to plan in my agenda in order to watch the classes. I wish all the Coursera courses would be this motivating and addictive.

Awesome. I have shown some of the videos to other people and they are amazed at the simplicity of the concepts and the clarity of the explanations. I am a better teacher now that I know how to be a better learner. Thank you so much.
