Marked increase in both productivity and ability to learn effectively after the first two weeks of this course. Given easy to implement ways to learn and focus more readily - useful for study as well as general productivity (any task that requires time and focus - could be a skill or project). Extremely helpful, will likely annoy all my friends and family by constantly sharing what I've learned. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much! LhtL is an excellent course. It changed the way I study and learn, and the way I think about studying and learning. Not only did it provide new information (I suppose most of us students knew a lot of the things taught, such as "you should study the material during a longer period of time - not just the last night"), but it helps in actually implementing those things in every day life.

Thank you!

Recommended for everyone. As a retiree, a lifetime learner, and graduate school drop out I have done a lot of learning. Some, like the incidental learning that happens when surfing Wikipedia, has been pleasant. Some, especially in an academic or work setting has been painfully frustrating. This course has been very helpful in showing me how to make learning pleasant and effective as opposed to hard and frustrating.

I am very happy that I completed this module! There are few teachers who taught about how to learn and how our brain is actually doing while we are learning new stuff. By knowing more about the activities happening in the brain helps me to control my learning, and sometime, use some tricks to convince my brain go deeper, or to train my brain.

I can't wait to apply the methods taught in this module on other subjects!

This course is absolutely brilliant! It offers lots of practical tips on how to learn better and makes you want to start learning something new as soon as you're done watching the videos. I also very much appreciated the great clarity with which the more complex concepts are explained. Finally, I loved the quirky, a bit old-fashioned graphics of the videos. And the teachers are just great! I can only recommend it.

The course has reinforced many of the concepts and methods I have used to learn - I didn't realize that I was using these concepts.

The importance of sleep and exercise in learning was an eye opener.

Very useful ideas about avoiding procrastination especially dealing with the cues and rewards part.

Lots of interesting concepts about using group learning sessions to improve understanding and mastery over subjects.

This is a very awesome course! I studied hard and got high grades when I was in college but found myself struggling to recall the concepts or apply them in the real world. Now that I am trying to un-learn and re-learn, I have found the lessons here particularly useful not just because of the tips but also from the realizations of the mistakes that I did in the past. Kudos to everyone who made this course possible!

I've never been happier after taking a course as I am now.. this short course is one of the best things anyone can get out of a MOOC plus it gives you tricks that are helpful to people in every stage of their life. inspirational interviews with experts in different fields and timely quizzes embed the information into your brain. I recommend this to all especially students who are thinking of taking courses online.

I have always struggled with retaining information and focusing. Learning How to Learn has given me priceless tools and resources to use to improve my studying skills and help me remember the information. This course is invaluable and I highly recommend to everyone. Even if you don't have trouble learning or studying, you will still acquire useful skills that you can apply to your everyday life, work and personal.

I just finished this course and I feel this knowledge should be mandatorily taught in schools to help students learn more efficiently. After all, students spend a lot of years studying every day. Making this extensive process more efficient, by use of such courses, would save a lot of time and energy, and produce better results.I genuinely think this can make a significant difference for a lot of people out there.

I recommends this course to anyone who is thinking about doing online and or hybrid learning. I have learned so much from this course that I can use in my everyday life academically and personally and professionally. I rate this course five stars for the thoroughness of each lesson, the simplicity of each module and tests, and I really enjoyed the discussion forums and discussion threads for each week. Thank you!

"Completing 'Learning How to Learn' was a transformative experience. The course's powerful mental tools not only enhanced my academic prowess but also revolutionized my approach to challenging subjects. Dr. Barbara Oakley's insights are invaluable, providing practical techniques for efficient learning. This course is a must for anyone seeking to master tough subjects and unlock their full intellectual potential."

So I just finished the course and I can say that it has actually changed the way I perceive my studies. I strongly recommend it to anyone willing to put some efforts to change the way you learn.

If you are like me, and you got tired of all the click-bait rubbish that surrounds the productivity articles and advices you will find on the internet, then this is the course for you, and it is the last course you need.

This is an exceptional course for a young or old learner especially a life long learner. As a health care professional, I wish I had taken this course before any of my formal education, but it was still incredibly helpful in breaking my procrastination habit and in learning how to be more effective in my learning and time management. Barbara Oakley is an absolute delight to learn from. her passion is infectious

Excellent. Simply excellent. This course has opened a whole new world for me. Thank you very much to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for their superb lectures, and for all the effort they have put into making this course. I'm already applying the new mindset and techniques I've learned in this course when approaching something new in my studies, and it's yielding great results. Thank you very much!

Es un curso bastante útil, apenas terminó la primera semana, comencé a utilizar las primeras técnicas que nos proporcionaron y de verdad obtuve mejoras significativas en mi proceso de aprendizaje. Las explicaciones se dan muy bien, Los doctores Barbara Oakley y Terry Sejnowski te involucran de una manera increíble, de verdad te sientes parte de algo. Me encantó! Espero más cursos con estas maravillosas personas.

I think that this course is what we all need so that we can to put order in the way we can learn, through the tips offered by the professors Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski.

For me it was very useful, as I was doing some mistakes by bulk learning before exams and also by not overviewing the answers to the test, feeling too sure about their correctness (left hemispere dominating here, as taught in the course).

GREAT INSITE FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY "CLASS" FOR AWHILE AND FOR THOSE WHO FEAR TESTING AND GET STRESSED OUT EASILY. THIS COURSE IS GREAT FOR "KNOW IT ALLS TOO" - I JUST LAUGHED!

JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AM TRULY GREATFUL THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE TO HELP THOSE IN NEED AND ARE CHOOSING TO CHANGE CAREERS OR ADVANCE WHAT THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED.

THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED, YOU ARE THOROUGHLY APPRECIATED.

This is a course which should be taught to every school and college teacher for making students really understand their subjects. This is a course which should be taught to every student so that they can incorporate them into every aspect of life. Well explained by great teachers. I actually felt I was learning from a long lost aunt of mine - Barbara really endears herself to you. Thanks for this awesome MOOC !

I had a great time with this course! It is an interesting subject, they explain in easy ways and overall, this is quite important through life (knowing how to learn can do many good things to you, and save many time!) Also, it's noticeable the love and passion they have put in this course, and they really care and try to pass many important aspects of good habits, some philosophy and even a little neuroscience.

Every video is well explained and having lots of scientific research to guideline us in Learning How to Learn. From understanding how does our brain works, to realize the cue of falling into the trap of procrastination, how to improve our memory and various tips to excel in the test. This course certainly helps students and adults to gain the confidence to encounter the subject which might seems tough for them.

It's such a pleasing course. It's like a good friend, to whom you can come and chill out, relax. Literally, every chunk of information will be useful, tests only help you to remember better and moreover it's explained why! You won't be immersed deeply in dark shadows of scientific terms. You will know the basics. Besides, if you are interested in, you have access to different resources with interesting articles

This course is fantastic, it gave me a great new perspective on the learning. What you learn is applicable in so many aspects of your life. Both professor Sejnowski and professor Oakley motivated me to keep learning and be more confident to start with new areas of my interest. And most importantly, to start spreading this newly acquired knowledge to others. Thank you both for this opportunity to learn from you.

I would like to thank all the staff in this course for providing assistance to the education of young people with low financial capabilities. I have enjoyed learning this course very much. I would like to thank Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for their efforts in delivering the content in the simplest ways and also all the guests who were hosted in the course and to benefit from their experiences.

Best Course you can take if you are interested in not just learning new things but also learning about yourself. This course explains clearly how you learn a new skill and what techniques and methods you can follow to make yourself a better learner. This is one of those unique courses for students in any field, of any age group which helps you understand your learning ability. Barbara and Terry are Great Gurus.
