The course has given me several insights into learning how to learn. The presentation style and the content of the videos made it very interesting and I am really grateful to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejowski for their genorisity in sharing their knowledge and insights on a platform that would enable access to so many others. Thank you to Coursera too for creating this platform.

Excellent course. Simple, concise and short, but rich with information on how to study more effectively. What goes above and beyond the ordinary study tip advisor is that they involve significant amounts of neuroscience to explain why some things work and why some don't, which is super duper interesting. In general, it's an excellent course, and I recommend you to take it.

Lo disfrute mucho, ademas aprendi nuevos conceptos y consolide conceptos que estaban poco entendendos. Los videos son cortos, aun asi hay veces que me costo llevarlos adelante. El tiempo en 4 semanas es muy bueno para tomarse la informacion de manera sencilla y permitir que aciente. La pasion y el compromiso de quien lo dicta aumento mucho mi participacion. Muchas Gracias.

Great experience with great instructors. Able to get familiar with new ways of learning and new concepts that are very helpful for higher education and learning.

I would really like to thank both the instructors for sharing great information and help us for our future. Its been a really good four week session with immense knowledge.

Thanks a lot for such a great opportunity.

Curso recomendado para todo aquel que es conciente de que siempre estara aprendiendo, y de que siempre puede caer en la procastinacion de algo, postergar una actividad, dejarla para despues, perder el enfoque, es siempre un problema, este curso te enseñan como funciona tu cerebro, asi como tecnicas para evitar procastinar, y como ayudar a mejorar tu memoria de largo plazo.

Taking this course is a life changing step for me. I used to think, learning is just studying the subject or topic which with time we forget. But learning things in a way that teaches in this course will surely helps me in keeping it for longer run.

Thanks to the teahers and the team for this wonderful course. Also thanks to Coursera for bringing this up in the platform.

I already love learning new things so having a guide show me how learning works behind the scenes allows me to now understand the things I've been doing either consciously or subconsciously or not doing, and move them to their appropriate areas. I can't say much because though I did learn many new things, not everything was quite new to me but I'd say it was all valuable.

This was a wonderful course. I enjoyed and learned mental frameworks and tools thoroughly. I'm sure they will help me with whatever I will learn in my future. I wish I had encountered this course previously. Plus the optional interviews with deeply passionate individuals and some Nobel Laureates were extremely insightful. Truly there are so many ways to approach learning.

I wish that this was a subject of it's own in the high school curriculum in Australia!

The tools presented are certainly useful in the approach of learning but very much applicable to many other areas of my own lifestyle. This course has certainly provided both motivation and stimulation for me to enhance aspects of my life previously lacking in effort.

Thank you very much!

Este curso me permitio obtener un nuevo enfoque de como debo llevar o crear nuevas rutinas para lograr aprender de forma eficaz. Los ponentes explicaron de manera muy simple conceptos complejos y usaron muy bien los recursos que tenian a disposición. Altamente recomendado para todo aquel que desee iniciarse en un MOOC o para quienes esten estudiando alguna carrera o curso

Learning how to learn is truly inspiring, especially thanks to Barbara Oakley. Everybody starting his or her school/ university life should have access to this knowledge. It is really sad that none of my teachers ever showed us how to learn and why. But I guess they didn't know better themselves. But learning never stops, so I am looking forward to use this knowledge now.

I can't explain how much this course has changed my attitude and thoughts towards learning!! It will definitely help me throughout my life, from schooling, all the way to my future career goal and dream. I thank the professors, Ms. Oakley and Mr. Sejnowski, profusely for teaching us the skills and techniques for learning, as well as opening our doors to a brighter future!

Easy to digest "chunks" of material offered in compact segments which were easy to follow made comprehension and completion of the materials quite manageable. I feel well armed with enough techniques and tips to make me much better at learning so I consider the course a great success. Can't go wrong if you just implement the techniques laid out in Learning How to Learn.

Excellent course taught by people who really know their stuff. Dr. Barbara Oakley is great at explaining things in an easy-to-digest manner and seems like a fun person to grab a beer with. The guests they interview are also really remarkable and shows how much work was put into creating this course. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to optimize their learning.

This course is very inisghtful in contrast to those shalllow articles and videos that circulate on the internet about how to learn better. It gave me much more knowledge about "how" learning works instead of just handing some hacky tricks (which most materials seems to do). So because of that knowledge, I can even come up with my own hacks, and that's something powerful!

An amazing course, explains complex topics really easy, entertaining to watch, knowing that i am learning.

I am a person who has trouble concentrating and learning, i´ve seen benefits in my learning by using techniques shown in this course, i really enjoyed it and thank you for teaching me how to learn propperly and not just memorizing everything just for tests at school

Amazing! the course recommendation is to take in 4 weeks but was so interesting and with so usable learnings that were simple to understand and enjoyable to watch that I finished the whole course in 1 week. I profoundly recommend it! The techniques and explanations about how our brain works are super useful and clear and easy to understand. It is time very well-invested!

Muchas gracias por el curso, ha sido muy didáctico e ilustrativo. He aprendido nuevas técnicas que las estoy poniendo en practica y seré más productivo. Así mismo podré enseñarles a mis hijas y colegas como mejorar. Felicitaciones y un abrazo grande para Barbara y Terrence, y todo su equipo incluyendo a los entrevistados que fueron de primera. Estaré buscando más cursos.

It was a fun course! It affirmed what most of us who have found success in academics have been doing for years, so it was nice to find out that these techniques have been appointed names. I will do my best to pass on this information to others who are climbing that academic mountain. Thank you guys for doing this.

I will be looking at the references for more information.

A fantastic course! Thank you for challenging the way I used to think about learning - and keeping me mindful of spending more time on problem questions instead of trying to read every piece of information in the textbook. I know now that I need to spend more time applying what I learn and testing myself instead of trying to understand the minute detail of every concept.

This is one of the best courses on learning how to learn. Both the instructors, Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski have used an unique teaching technique. With useful tools such as pomodoro, learners are able to apply the tools easily. This course dwells into how our brain learns, and thus help us in capitalizing the brain's learning mechanism to the fullest.

This is improving my strength towards completing courses. I like it a lot.

A humble request is please upload video lectures of duration more than 15 min. After watching a video we are relaxing. If videos are of small duration I will take much time for us to complete lectures as it includes more relax time. If videos are of more duration we can complete them in small time.

This course is literally changing my life. Discovering various tools for learning and figuring out which ones and in which combinations work best for me has been an interesting and fruitful journey. Studying for GRE has become fun for me.

In short, I like it so much!

Thank you for creating this thoroughly thought through course and for allowing to access it indefinitely.

I took this course to alienate my habitual procrastination habits and to improve my learning. Admittedly, a part of me was curious and now I know why. I have learned about tricks and techniques that will forever change the way I study and how I approach procrastination issues and how to avoid falling into old habits.

My sincere Thanks to Barbara Oakley, Terry Sejnowski!

It was a wonderful experience doing this course. I knew a few things before but have gained an invaluable insight into how the brain works and many new techniques on how to improve my learning. I did this course in preparation for a University degree and I feel well prepared for it now.

Many thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski for creating this wonderful course!
