This is an amazing course. I would recommend that you take this course before doing any others in Coursera, it will give you a great foundation to take into any other subjects that you want to learn.

Very interesting content and effective teaching. However, the quizzes are too easy so in order to really benefit from the course I think it's important to take responsibility and do retrieval practice "offline".

This is a great course. A lot of the ideas are intuitive but to hear an expert give scientific backing to them and reassurance is very helpful. Its a great course to give you confidence in your ability to learn.

I loved this course. I am a final year student. I wish someone had told me everything that I have learnt during my first year. It would have made a very big difference. Well, better later than never, in my case.

Everyone must go through this course. In schools, we were taught to go after grades, but no one (till today!) is teaching the right/effective method to learn. I wish I could've taken this course earlier in life

What a great course, thank you. Even (or especially) after two Master degrees it taught me new things. Plus it gave me great tips and tools to teach my son, in these times of homeschooling / the covid pandemic.

a really good MOOC. Even better if you read Barbara's book at the same time for interleaving, spaced repetition, and recall. You will learn more about those if you take the course. I recommend you to do that!!!

The contents of this course are pretty useful. This course does not just give tips on test-taking, but it also adds in a bit of neuroscience to help us understand why certain habits are effective or ineffective
