It was an exceptional course, which I believe should be taught in high school so that everyone could have a fair chance to become a master in tough subjects.

I will personally recommend this course to my friends and all the mental tools that were taught in this course are really very helpful.

Further, both the instructors in the course have taught each and every concept very beautifully.

This course helped me to understand how my brain works, why I procrastinate and methods I can use to help me learn. I also learned how to recognize habits and what I can to do to help myself when they are setting in. I am more patient with myself, it's very hard to stay focused and try to practice everyday , but I will try because I want to improve my brain and feel better about myself.

It is absolutely gem of the course. I wanted to upgrade my skills and learning here and there something. But the course gives a right perspective to review your learning. Many of things we know also but the way findings have been backed up by scientific research, it gives you more conviction to follow. In addition to that you can teach these learning to your growing kids.

Thanks a lot!!!

it was very interesting, useful. Our teachers " Dr.Barbara Okaley and Dr. Sejnowski were very amazing. I have got a lot of information very useful for me. They illuminated the road to focus more on some things that would help me during study and life.they were active and every video i watch , i feel with them a positive energy and exciting.

Thanks a lot for these efforts,

thanks Coursera

Exceptionally useful course, should be the first one to take before starting to learn some new subject. Most of the things presented in the course I already knew, but couldn't quite grasp. It's all so well organized ans succinct, that it makes learning new stuff look like a piece of cake.

Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a firm ground when heading to the path of new knowledge.

I find this course so helpful, i taught a lot of new skills and concepts. Being concentrated, focused and leverage your ability to enhance your learn was one of the topics that i ever suffer from.

This course was the starting point and i think i'll listen for it after a while just to make sure i leveraged everything i can from it. Thanks a lot for Dr. Terry and Barbra for this great job.

This class was well thought out and easy to follow. I really enjoyed listening to Barbara Oakley's presentations with the funny graphics most, but Terry's S's material was well presented and extremely interesting; I look forward to being to implement the lessons from this course in every learning area of my life. I highly recommend this for any person interested in learning or teaching.

This was a great course! Really enjoyed studying it. It had a lot of interesting material, they course was created based on the things that it is teaching! I recommend it, you will learn a lot of things, helps you notice what you were doing wrong with your studying, you will learn helpful techniques and interesting things about the brain and learning! I am glad that I took this course!

Un curso muy valioso para todos aquellos que les apasiona aprender. No solo se cubren técnicas y consejos para mejorar nuestro aprendizaje y hacerlo más efectivo y eficiente, sino que se explican un gran abanico de conceptos sobre nuestro cerebro y en general el comportamiento humano que permiten entender más a profundidad los temas e integrarlo con gran valor a nuestra vida cotidiana.

Definitely a good course for students. The ideas and concepts taught are helpful for students looking to understand how their brains work and how to effectively use their brains to better retain knowledge by implementing proper habits and learning techniques. Students are also given tips on how to handle exam day mental blocks and jitters toward the end of the course. Highly recommend.

A lot of great tips. It's extremely important to know that it takes time and tremendous effort to become good with something. Don't fall into the trap and think that there are lots of people who are naturally good with math or sciences.Work hard, don't kid yourself, test yourself, repeat, rest, exercise, be holistic, believe you can improve... You will eventually become extremely good!

I'm very glad I took this course. It has inspired in me genuine motivation and high hopes for change, improvement and awareness. The welcoming, friendly way of presenting the information makes it so enjoyable to listen and watch. I felt relaxed and involved in every session. I learned many useful tips for all aspects in life. Thank you so much for sharing a most valuable tool for life.

A course that is worth investing time and effort. You will receive lots of valuable takeaways that will help you to be a better and more effective lifelong learner.

The peer-review assignments are fun and challenging. Doing ithem helps help internalise your learning.

Very useful course!

Well done Dr Barbara Oakley and Dr Terrence Sejnowski! Thank you for helping us to learn how to learn.

Этот курс должен знать каждый кто обучается. Просматривая видео и понимая идеи этого курса я понял что хотел бы знать это с 1 класса. Я столкнулся с каждой из проблем о которых говорится, и меня радуют два момента: 1.Я ещё учусь, и значит не поздно. 2.Мой гиппокамп ещё производит нейроны, и я собираюсь заняться этой фермой.

Всем причастным к курсу и самому порталу Coursera - мой поклон.

I had terrible habits up until my junior year of university. I took this course and my study habits greatly improved. After practicing the teachings of this course, I got off academic probation and steadily improved my grades. The concepts taught in this course are very easy to grasp because of all the visual stimulation so it shouldn't be a problem. All in all, a great resource!

This course has helped me in learning new techniques on how to learn. Ideas I have never thought about were discussed here in a simple and clear way anyone can understand. in addition some very useful mental tools as well. I used to learn by memorising a day before the test because I felt as if the pressure kept me motivated. I will follow the tools I get here from now on. Thank `you!

It is a great course about everything there is to know about learning. If you are curious about what techniques there is to avoid procrastination, improve your memory and control stress; this is the course for you. Also, It serves as a start to get into more deeply training methods as it introduces several important personalities on every subject so you can later dive into their works.

this course is the most amazing course I ever had. Because I did really hard in learning whenever High school or the college, however it does not work very well. Fortunately, my English writing teacher highly recommended “Learning how to learn” to me, and finishing this course makes me feel much better than before in my daily learning. Thank you very much for your teaching my teachers.

Great course for 3 reasons..

1- learn how the mind works teaches you a lot about how to control it and control its impulses that prevent you from learning

2- actual teqhniques and tips that can help you control and enhance your focus and learning in measurable ways

3 these techniques not only are good for learning but great as overall life skills like time management and better thinking.

The course is well structured and very well exposed. I found it easy to follow, even if the majority of the topics were new to me. The course gives a clear understanding of a correct learning method and what are the most common errors to avoid. I also found interesting suggestions about memorization techniques, like flash cards and the memory palace that I'm willing to adopt soon.

Of many things that life is about,it surely is about learning.This course is a must;no matter what discipline you are majorly from.It will help you to become a more efficient learner given that you work on the concepts,techniques mentioned.

The way it has been presented only makes it more interesting,with humour,animations and interesting things.I enjoyed it very much.

Do give it a try!!

I am telling everyone I meet to do this course. No matter where you are on life you should do this course if you are planning on learning. The course is well laid out. You change your habits as you learn about learning. I wish I had lecturers like Barbara Oakey and Terry S. When I was getting my initial education and its just amazing that I get get access to tho sort of lecture online.

This course is very interesting for me. Although some techniques in this course such as Pomodoro is slightly popular, the instructors introduce some unusual other useful methods for learning. This course also provides some additional facts about brain. I really think I should seriously focus on my learning journey after this course. Many thanks for course team for outstanding products

Curso simplesmente incrível. Me abriu portas para entender ainda mais que nosso potencial de aprendizado é realmente ilimitado, principalmente utilizando técnicas sensacionais estudadas e testadas por tantos cientistas maravilhosos. Amei o curso e vou indicar a outros, pois no meu ponto de vista, esse tipo de educação deveria ser passado aos alunos desde seus primeiros anos na escola.

This course has helped me a great deal to start punishing myself by studying on the same week of the exam and being sleep-deprived by the time I have to do my test. It has been a pleasure to learn all of the tips and tricks this course offers and I will surely learn from it, spread the word, and make this knowledge helpful for my future students when I become a professor! Thank you!!!
