It is a great course, and I can learn many things which significantly changing my perspective about learning. I have contemplated my learning process and found not only a different angle but also a different way to learn effectively. The product is still the focus, and procrastinating is a dominant part of my life before. Your course gave me the answer. Enjoy the learning process because everyone has the own way. Thank you, Barbara.

Отличный курс! Много интересных идей, которые можно использовать и ученикам школы, и тем, кто уже давно получил образование. Отдельное спасибо за русский перевод текста. Уверена, что большинство советов, полученных мной на курсе, смогу использовать в жизни. Отличные и мотивирующие интервью. Многое, что мне казалось непреодолимыми препятствиями в обучении (изучаю немецкий язык с нуля) выглядит уже не так страшно :) Спасибо авторам курса!

The course, in short, was an eye-opener to me. The title of the course justifies the course itself and I pretty much enjoyed myself doing this. I was reminded that it's okay if you are not the smartest one in the room and yet you can still contribute abundantly! I've added so many learning tools to my arsenal and I'll efficiently use them! Thank you to the instructors for such a wonderful course and I hope other students find it useful!

I think every high school student and new undergrad students will benefit from this. It's nice and short, and easy to understand. The concept of "Chunking" might confuse you at first, but just think of it as a bit of knowledge you gain about a subject; e.g. You learn about how bicycle gears work; that's a chunk. You learn about photosynthesis; that's a chunk. You learn how hierarchy matters in the Korean language Hangul; that's a chunk.

Great course! Great tips! It's incredible how people dedicate themselves to help others and you can see this in this course. Even though you think you master how to study, you never know enough and there's always a way to learn more and more. With this course and wonderful instructors you can find out more about how your brain works, and how you can improve your learning techniques (and throw others away that you think it is effective).

This was the first course I have ever taken online and although I have nothing to compare it to, I absolutely loved it! I've never been able to stay focused or have the discipline to finish any type of education and I managed to finish this, staying interested the entire way through! I loved the material, the two professors and how they executed the work and lessons. This course is so helpful and such a motivational boost, thank you! <3

This course has teach us the best learning skill. The Pomodoro technique is a good keys for us to complete our hard task and overcome Procrastination. Fews skill that really inspiration are practice make prefect, promodoro, focus & diffuse, wirking memory, concept for learning step and focus attention and the last is the value of teamworks.

I foreseen after this we are more able to complete our reading or working task more efficiently.

Beats all the books I've read on the topic, hands down. Superb learning course that is as hands-on practical as you could want. Excellent instructors, with an excellent presentation of materials. Instructor puts into practice the elements of learning to reinforce what is being taught. My only regret is that this course wasn't around when I was a spring chicken but our understanding of how people learn was wrong at that time. Thank you!

Thank you very much, this course was very helpful for me, I finished my university studies and I had to leave my country because of the war and I could not continue my caree in the new country , this course showed me that it did not stop at this point and I can follow up and even learn the field complitly different, also gave me a lot of tips that will help in learning a new language (and this is something I need for now). thanks again

Great course! It gets a bit repetitive in the last week and starts to become a self-help course on studying if you enjoy studying. But that doesn't overshadow the general positive and scientific content on how to deal with learning. I am already applying the techniques and now understand better how to approach my studies. I am really thankful for the advices, the techniques and the plain language used by instructors. Great experience.

What a wonderful and empowering experience! this course has been! As Professors Oakley and Sejnowski eloquently stated in the summary, for too long we have focused on the product and not the process of learning. Using a fun, engaging and accessible approach, they teach how anyone can learn more effectively. Highly recommend for learners (and leaders) of all ages. A must for educators who are interested in developing lifelong learners.

The course is excellent for all types of people- students, teachers, working professionals, house-makers, retired people and more. its presented in a very lucid style -simple and engaging. The course draws upon various scientific findings which are weaved to present a whole picture. The course presents many learning strategies which are easy to implement. in fact the course itself uses these strategies to make learning very effective.

I learned so much about my brain and the processes imperative to seeing how I can learn things in a short amount of time and with a strong understanding. I have been and will use the strategies outlined in this course throughout my life to not only learn quicker, but also to do things that I would not have done without the class. This is because our brains naturally prohibit some things unless an effort is made to change those things.

it's a useful guide on how to work with your own brain in case of any type of learning including new languages, different subject or whatever you are attempting to do. it's a pity i didn't have a chance to pass this course, when i was in a high school or even earlier, it could be a great support for my studying.

teachers of the LHTL are absolutely great, they give a clear view on the subject with lots of evocative metaphors and images.

Hello. I wanted to take a scholarship course prepared by highly disciplined people. I tried to absorb the education offered by our very serious teachers as much as it should be. I would like to thank both our faculty members and the Coursera team for delivering such a quality product to people all over the world with such a beautiful course. I bow before you with respect because of this scientific atmosphere you have presented to us.

This is really great course. I have got a tons of great ideas to start learning anything. This is exactly the first course in my Coursera. So I can fully utilize this idea to learn other courses as well. f you talk about Course, you can also enjoy course with free edition. BUT I highly recommend you to take this course with paid option since such mini-test and report creation are strongly connected to the core concept of this course.

This course has me to look back into the basic of how I learned, is that learning method work effectively? And how to improve my bad habits about learning to be more productive learner. This course also explain the neurological function associated with the learning process, habit formation and what you can do about it. All by all, It's an interesting course and probably can improve your learning habit if you put these tools into use.

One of the greatest courses I've ever taken! The professors explained the material well and in depth, and gave lots of practical tips we could start using immediately. The course was also built up in a way that it was easy to remember the material, and we were quizzed only on the actually important parts. What's more, it gave me loads of motivation and enhanced my love of learning. I would recommend this course to literally everyone.

A lot of the stuff I knew already, but didn't realise how effective they were and how I was taking the wrong approach to implementing them. The concept of Einstellung and Interleaving my studies within the same pracistise sessions has really helped me understand my flaws when approaching learning. Overall it was a success, following the tips in the course I have managed to curb my procrastination for good...hopefully. Would recommed!

Great material, well presented. The delivery is in bite size pieces making it easy to fit around a busy schedule. It delivers on the class description of learning how to learn with practical, apply immediately concepts as well as helpful background and context of the science behind the ideas and recommendations.

I highly recommend this course for anyone that is still learning and growing in their lives - which hopefully is everyone!

I enjoyed the course very much. I like the learning methods and techiniques taught with scientific knowleadge and evidence. I also enjoyed the fun presentation style (zombies, pinball, fun pictures, etc.) that drew my attention. I also highly recommend that people listen to the optional interviews. I have learned a lot from the interesting experiences of people who were interviewed by Dr. Oakley. Have fun with learning how to learn!

I've been going through a series of enrolling and giving up on this course for years, and by doing that I wasted many opportunities to learn how to learn properly and I could've avoided many mistakes I made during these years.

This has been a pleasure to attend, it was very informative. One thing that could improve are the videos themselves, I think that they need a visual refresh because they look somewhat dated, otherwise top-notch!

This course has help me overcome my greatest obstacle procrastination and improve my self-study for life long learning. I wish I had found that course back when I was taking my Electrical Engineering courses. It would make a huge difference on time I invest on studying. Thank you both Professors, teaching assistant and all who help me this course possible free at cost for us to improve our life. This is amazing course to take.

As someone who did really horrible in his undergrad and now fighting to make redemption on master's, taking this course was one of the few right decisions I have made so far in life. The instructions were clear, the topics were meaningful and I have learned to look at my academic materials in a new way. I have just started a new semester and I am excited to face the challenges with everything I have learned here. Thank you very much.

Many thanks to Terry and Barbara for their generous spirit in sharing and showing how the brain learns. I am 58 and have gained an understanding of how my brain learns as well as skills and techniques to tap this potential. I have noticed already an increased ability to recall and learn material. It is reassuring to have a learning structure and plan that is effective as I seek to learn Te Reo Maori.

Ka nui te aroha ki a korua.
