I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

I found Learning How to Learn an enjoyable class class. I paired my efforts by reading the book alongside taking the class and gained knowledge about the topic which I am using in my efforts to learn faster and more deeply now.

I thought I know everything, until I learn from this course. I am grateful to Barb and Terry for this amazing course, I really did learn something even though I am already at this age where I think learning new things is hard.

The course is very informative. It has given me many new ideas on how to aproach my students, how to teach and then learn and how to improve my teaching. It has also shown me how to help my own children be successful learners.

I originally took this course in preparation for my kids having a year of guided independent study (thanks, covid). There are tidbits I will definitely use for myself. I especially appreciated the citations to neural science.

Never knew that I needed a course about learning. Prof. Barabara Okley explained each concept really well using various teaching methods such as chunking, using metaphors, etc. I am now a definitely a better version of myself.

The course helped me to identify a number of things I've been doing wrong over the past few years. I particularly enjoyed the sections on how to deal with procrastination and I'm trying to apply the teachings whereever I can.

This course should be thought in k9-12 . I just can’t believe that this powerful technique of learning how to learn is not available for kids in high school,.. I wish I had access to this type of material earlier in my life.

.......as I thought and expected, this course was fundamental and a must take course, to prepare me for the track I want to embark on. An essential course for anybody, to grasp the knowledge on how to learn.....in any subject.

Very straight forward and helpful information. To me, the pace of the course seemed slow at first, but I think that helped to add emphasis on the importance of understanding what happens in our brains that enables us to learn.

The course provided some very powerful ideas on how to become a more effective learner. If would be the best if this course is taken together with another that gives more in-depth review of the neuro processes behind learning.

Fantastic MOOC, helped me alot on recovering my focus and "zombies".
The most helpful tool I'm using is the pomodoro technique described in the course.
The daily task list is also a very useful way of setting objectives everyday

This is my first finished Coursera course. It's really nice of you to providing this online course. I think someday in the future, when I have some ripe course idea, I will do the same thing. Keep learning.
