I think that this course is really fundamental and it is necessary to learn best practices how to learn new material and how to broad our passion and other interest. I think this it is amazing course, but English is not my native language and for me it is a good idea to start this course again and to repeat it. Also I was not very active and didn't collaborate with other students, so I think it is necessary also to fix this part :)

I also very appreciated the Tutors and enjoy their speeches.

I haven't finished the course yet, but I liked it so much that I convinced my husband and my mom to enroll in it as well. The content of this course is so important that I honestly think it should be a mandatory class for everyone who is genuinely interested in learning, which could be a teenager on High School or an adult starting college. Finding this course feels like finding a treasure, thanks for creating such an amazing course and making it available on Coursera to the general public!

The content of the course is very useful and the instructors are very knowledgeable about the process of learning. The examples provided by they instructors are very creative, following the practices they also teach in this course. The course manages to explain in depth how the brain works and how we can use that knowledge to improve our learning processes. The knowledge provided by this course can be used any possible field that you are working or studying or trying to improve in general.

Simply put, this course should be taught in schools. The insights I have gained into how we learn have been astounding. The videos are enaging and fun, all thanks to Barb and Terry's endearing nature. I liked that the science behind why these methods work are explained rather than brushed over or dumbed down like I have seen in other courses.

I am yet to find the degree or subject I would like to master but I do know the techniques taught in this course will play a big part in achieving it.

Ce cours est vraiment passionnant. Il m'a permis de mieux comprendre comment mieux utiliser ma façon d'apprendre. Nous utilisons tous des techniques plus ou moins efficaces.Grâce à ce cours de très bon conseils et des exemples sont proposés. Super et inévitable.

This course is really exciting. It allowed me to better understand how to better use my way of learning. We all use more or less effective techniques. Thanks to this course very good advice and examples are offered. Super and smart…

Perfect. Now I know how the brain works. I understand that procrastination is addiction and you just need to put effort into starting doing something. Just go through bad feel in brain like through the brick wall. Time after time it will be easier to start, because brain will remember rewards that await. Also, it's very important to focus on process, not on the final product. Thank you very much for course authors. Also big thanks for creating such a wonderful MOOC system, coursera admins!

I can't express how much I enjoyed and resonated with this course. I wish I'd had it several years ago when I returned to school to finish my bachelor's degree. It would have made a huge difference. As it is, I'm confident in newfound abilities to study and absorb new skills and subjects as I move forward as a lifelong learner. Bravo, and thanks to the makers for allowing so many of us to audit the full course. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know who begins an educational endeavor.

If there is only one MOOC you can take, this would be it. It is not a theory class, instructors talk about practical methods and explain the science behind them too. In fact, it is one of the most practical courses I have seen. You can use the techniques in your professional and financial life too. If you are interested in becoming better at learning things, just go take the course.

NOTE: Honors section of the course is optional but if you do it, you will learn some really useful things.

Этот курс раскрывает важные идеи о том, как эффективно учиться и запоминать информацию. Курс объясняет работу памяти, особенности фокусированного и диффузного мышления, причины прокрастинации. Даются конкретные советы по организации учебного процесса - техника помодоро, чанкинг, использование анкирования и визуальных образов.Особенно ценными мне показались идеи о важности переключения режимов мышления, физических упражнений для стимуляции нейронных связей, создания продуктивных привычек.

A very useful course no matter what stage you are in life. Especially helpful to younger students to save time in their studies. However, this course is also very helpful to people beyond school in more easily pursuing new interests. For example, I'm trying to pick up new skills in my free time, but often procrastinate or feel daunted at the time it will take to pick up these skills. However, this course has helped me learn how to be more efficient with my time and better improve myself.

This course helps us to know more about our brain , how our brain gasp the concept that we study and how can we make our brain remember the things more easily.

It speaks about various techniques like memory palace and others which will help you to increase your memory .

Also by understanding the techniques taught by them and the various facts given by them about our memory and working of brain we can improve the skill of how to learn and make our concepts last for long without cramming.

Loved this course. Its all about the process of learning, rather than the product of learning. The course builds a basic understanding of key principals of neuroscience in order to explain how humans learn, and therefore teaches the pupil how they can more effectively.

Some of the lessons I had heard before, but now I understanding WHY they are so important to apply in learning. Knowing this, I have already changed approaches at work, as well as in my personal learning.

Highly recommended.

Learning How to Learn not only help me with organization with the tools trick and tips, also help me understand how people's mind work, it gives enough information to know your intellectual abilities

I definitely recommend this course to anyone because it was extremely helpful to me. my friend my family and everyone I let them know how much this class help me. I also will recommend the book A Mind for Numbers. Thank you so much to all stuff members hat provide this free helpful course.

Today more than ever, we are facing a huge problem around the world, called COVID-19, thereby, we need a powerful tool for adapting to the increasing rate of change. This course give you methods of learning how to learn, it doesn't matter the field of study. Provide you a useful technique to overcome procrastination like "Pomodoro technique", and also some extra reading material and interviews from interesting people who share they're own tips of learning in order to achieve their goals.

Great course. I took it in preparation for returning to Uni to get a Computer Science degree. I have Intuitively known I am a much naturally stronger 'creative' person than say a math person, but It was great to dive Into the deeper science behind It and how I can leverage my existing strengths as well as broaden and deepen my current weaknesses In learning particular subjects. Instructor Is pretty great and I recommend for anyone looking to enhance their learning In all aspects of life.

This is my first course I took and completed on Coursera. I love how you structure the lectures, enthusiasm in each videos, the learner could interact with videos, take free quizzes. This course opens mind eyes, refresh my mind, and give me a lot of great and useful technique in approaching, learning and understand new difficult concepts. I would love to recommend this course for my friends. Thanks Barbara Oakley, Terry Sejnowski, and the Learning How to Learn Team for this great course.

This course provides each learner the tool kit to learn subjects that are at times daunting.

Rather than offering platitudes the suggestions are based on sound research.They tap the capacities of the brain after understanding how our brains function.

Having that insight has helped me from getting frustrated when the material is hard to master.

The sections on chunking, memory and procrastination has been of invaluable help.

A deep bow to the creators of the course and to course era.

Thanks

By far the most knowledgeable, engaging, personable and fun course I have taken on Coursera! Had I encountered a professor in my youth as Dr. Barbara Oakley, who knows how my life would have turned out. It's never too late to learn! This course has taught me that there are various methods of learning at any age, how physical activity plays a part in keeping your mind open to new challenges.

Thank you Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for such a brilliant course.

I completed this course a couple of months ago, and I still bring it up regularly when talking to friends and family. I learned the importance of many concepts, even though I don't put it all into practice (I'm only human). I used the metaphor concept while studying for my genetics final though, and every time I feel like procrastinating I tell myself, "All you have to do is start!". I believe that anyone who takes this class will learn at least one new thing, and I highly recommend it!

I had been wanting to take an online course for a long time. Finally I did it and could not have been more glad that this course was the first one. For me is hard to see value in these free courses but I am very pleased with what I have learned on it. The knowledge acquired on this course can be applied right away on any desired task. It gives you a broad understanding on how our brain works in terms of learning new things. I would highly recommend this course. Health and Peace To All.

I have learned so much from this course. Many details that I was not giving much attention to, now I am taking them into consideration. I have learned about memory and it's ways of working. I found out how to properly learn, how not to waste time. I will use as much as I can from this course in my daily life and I really think everyone can benefit from it. It changes your perspective about the process of learning. And, last but not least, it is very interesting and fun at the same time.

A very usefull and easy-going class to improve your overall learning skills. I must admit that being a person that speaks English not as a mother tongue at first had some problems with understanding, but with the help of subtitles it was quiet easy. I am sure that in future using tips, notions and exercises that i dealt with in this class i can really improve my approach in new subjects no matter what they will be. It suits everyone. Great thanks for people who do such incredible job.

Before doing this course I knew some of the techniques that are mentioned in this course videos but I didn't know the name of the techniques also didn't utilize those techniques on me properly. After finishing I am feeling relaxed and now I can think more clearly about all the techniques I have learned and feel confident. At last, I want to thank Madam Dr. Barbara Oakley, she is a great teacher as well as a humble person who did a lot of hard works to make the course easy to understand.
