This is an excellent course for anyone to complete. Prior taking this course, I was hesitant since these topics have been preached to students for a million times. Yet I decided to go for it. To my amazement, its really been a life changing course.

I would like to thank professor Oakley and professor Sejnowski for explaining the material in a simple and effective way, not only highlighting the challenges but also providing solutions for them.

This course will help me in a lot of ways. I realized a lot of things that I have been doing the past days were just simply wrong. I didn't have a remarkable change in my daily routine on what I was doing as I finished the course yesterday. I am sure slowly slowly I will change my habits and I will learn faster and retain more information in long term.

Thank you Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrence for helping me out and lot of other people out there

This course was incredible. I learned so many useful, practical ways to improve my learning. Both professors did a great job communicating their content in ways that were interesting and informative. I especially liked the addition of the interviews. Having the honors assignments challenged me even further. I'm going to teach these skills to my students now. Please sign up for this class right now. You cannot afford to wait any longer

An incredible course! I advice it to EVERYONE: not only for students, but to everybody wanting to improve his/her memory skills, ability to fight procrastination and concentrate on whatever you are doing at a speific moment.

The lecturers are the nicest professors I've ever seen in my life! I really would like to meet them and to thank for the work they do. Barb and Terry - you are my love, indeed!

Good luck and happy learning how to learn!

What a great course! I can recommend this course 100% to everyone who is interested in learning how to learn! In times of the current lockdown it was one of the best things i choosed to preserve my mental health! Thx!

Was für ein fantastischer Kurs! Ich kann diesen jedem zu 100% empfehlen, wer mehr über das Thema "Lernen wie zu lernen" erfahren möchte. Ein wirklich gutes Verständnis der englischen Sprache ist hierfür jedoch sehr vorteilhaft!

I am a working professional, not in academia. As an individual who believes in "life-long learning", I found the information and strategies in this course to be broadly applicable to life in general. The session on dealing with procrastination (focusing on process over product) was particularly eye-opening for me. I also found the discussions on how the brain works in relation to learning and memory to be highly beneficial. Great course!

It's a good topic of all like: - student,reader and public speaker and any body who want to learn the learning process.

Thank You,

This is a very practical course, in which the instructors not only teach about the theory behind learning but also provide pragmatic techniques to help you foster your own learning. Personally, I find both of the instructors a bit awkward, but in a very cute way. Also, they don't just talk the talk, they also walk the walk. Very inspiring and enlightening course to talk for anyone who is interested in improving their own learning abilities!

Amazing course!! I can't wait to try and put it to practice with the new academic year.

My only regret is that a lot of the topics talk about "problem solving" and I'm still a little unclear as to what to do when what you're studying has seemingly nothing to do but is mostly about trying to remember facts, and dates, and definitions.

I guess I'll have to get started and see how I can apply the techniques of this course in my new student life!

Wonderful instructors, truly engaging course! Learning How to Learn has given me a new confidence in pursuing and mastering quantitative subjects necessary for me to secure the career in healthcare that I have always dreamed about, but was never sure about. I've already seen amazing results with my current science courses and will be sure to use and share the techniques highlighted in the course throughout the rest of my life. Thank you!

Excellent course about learning methods that can easily be worked with during ones learning projects. The overall course is very motivating and the way of presentation by Dr. Oakley as well as her co-presentors is done in a very comprehensive and illustrative way. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is interested in learning new things in a very efficient and long-term way.

Many thanks for providing this great online course!!

I really enjoyed Learning How to Learn. It was full of great strategies and has helped me pass a demanding professional exam that i had been struggling with for the previous three years.I have purchased the companion book for this course, and even the children's version by Dr Oakley, to have a refference of the matrerial and to share this with my own children.I will continue to follow the work of Dr. Barbara Oakley & Dr. Terrence Sejnowski

This is an excellent course on how humans learn and retain information. I think this should be essential learning for every student. It has changed how I approach learning and I find new skills to practice every week throughout the course.Take some time to go through the course and learn how you can more effectively retain information. I found it to be extremely helpful in my life of learning and it has changed the way I approach learning.

I appreciate the opportunity to take this course as it will help me a lot when I study my other courses and it will help me in my general life too.

In this course I've learned lots of things about how to learn, how to memorize the information that I learned, how my brain works and how to use my brain to learn with more efficient.You guys really should take this course if you want to be more efficient and productive in school or university.

Very easy is to understand the course. I plan to review it in the future because I believe the course has timeless lessons. Because the brain is built in a certain way I don't expect it to change in my lifetime. I believe learning is a lifetime skill and the basics should be mastered. Whatever the new subject is the beginning of learning tends to be similar to something you learned in the past. I highly recommend the MOOC. Happy learning!

The class was different from what I expected. I love how sourced the individual videos were. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone taking this course to take it slowly and do notes video by video. Only one thing I saw weird was the small typos and inconsistency in the notes format! It didn't really matter much in terms of the content, the only thing that could be improved from a simple point of view is that because the content is impeccable.

I luckily overheard some very smart software engineers who sit near my cubicle talking about how great this course was for them. I must say after completing this course, I feel reinvigorated to learn more than ever. Both complacency and procrastination are two vices I'm now ready to let go of! Thank you Barbara Oakley, Dr. Terry Sejnowski, the Learning How To Learn team, and Coursera for developing and delivering such an outstanding MOOC!

How do you prepare for an exam? Well, all we have different ways for that, but this course helps you get very efficient techniques for a good learning. In addition to this, you will have very good explanations about how your brain works, and wich habbits help it building good knowledge. Finally, the instructors are masters in their respective fields of knowledge, what else you need? Please take this course asap, you wont be dissapointed.

Amazing Course. "Learning How to Learn" ought to be a personal pre-requisite to all the other courses. By Learning How to Learn, we make learning more effective. I thoroughly enjoyed how the course was presented and laid out. The course applied all the principles it teaches. And, the bonus material attached is very pertinent, interesting, and joyful to view. Especially the student that learned many languages.

Great course! Thank you!

Awesome course! Learning is explained in simple terms and the tips and best practices really stick to your memory. The course has definitely achieved what it is teaching - which is making sure you remember the material by testing yourself and by utilizing spaced repetition. I loved the simplicity of the course. Make sure you watch all optional interviews as they are with people who achieved great results in the area of learning or memory.

Great course! I recomend eveyone to take it, as believe me you will learn a lot of techniques and concepts about learning and even laugh from some test possible answers.

Also as a hint a recommend following the course curricular and doing it during a week ( not just rush and do everything in a day or week, what you can do as lectures are small) but spent 30 minutes a day to get the best results and to have time to memorize all techniques

Though I had good discipline with respect to exercise , sleep and good eating habits, I was not able to apply this on my learning may be because its been 14 years I am out of college. I procrastinate and get distract alot. After this course, I am using the pomodoro technique very effectively ad its doing wonders to me. thanks to Barbara oakley for teaching this and few other very effective practical steps. This course is real gem and fun

A great course! This course provides a comprehensive coverage of different learning techniques, as well as different theory behind 'learning how to learn.' The instructors are enthusiastic, and provide many different backgrounds to learning -- the neurological, biological, and psychological aspects of learning are are covered. A good course to compete for anyone who wants to improve their ability to learn new things and think critically.

A wonderful course and one that I would (and will) recommend to anyone staring any learning journey! If you are planning on beginning a learning journey - it makes sense to pack your bag with the best tools and techniques to make that journey productive and fun!

That's what this course does! It equips you to make the most of your time and effort in Coursera and elsewhere.

Take this course first - learn the techniques - revisit and review.
