It is quite a helpful course for me. I spent much time in thinking about how to study more efficiently. Lots of the techniques the course mentioned are aligned with my past observations, and now I learn more about its theory. I am going to use most of these methods in my graduate study and check its effectivity. Thanks a lot for all people that give such a great course.

I have learned very much from this course. Somethings I already knew, but I never stopped and thought about what it meant with regarding to learning. I'm already using my new-found knowledge with my students. Teaching them not only history (my subject) but also how they should tackle the problem of remembering and identifying the important concepts.

Thank you very much!

This course illustrates how to learn in the best ways with alternative methods. The course inspires me a lot and solve some of my learning doubts and difficulties I faced before. Every study struggle has a reason behind! Thanks for this course which open the door to be a better learner, the remaining pathway is to practice these techniques and being passion in learning.

At the beginning of the course I felt scared in going back into learning. Taking this course has helped me feel excited about learning and it gives me the confidence in choosing other more challenging subjects.

I feel the need to continue with my learning and am sure that the techniques learned in this course will make a difference in the outcome of my future education.

This course is such a fun and useful one. The videos are short but sharp enough to let you learn and remember the lectures. The course can also be very helpful in everyday life no matter what your proficiency is. The interviews are great. This course will literally help you with many other courses that you are going to take and it is a fundamental for education,I think.

This course is very helpful and teaches you techniques to further your education. Learning How to Learn should be taught in middle school and then again when entering high school. Allot of kids really need to hear and learn this information at an early age. Thank you University of California and a big thanks to Coursera for organizing these courses for all to take !!!!!

Incredibly helpful. One would think that the process of learning would be taught in schools, but unfortunate that's not the case. I felt very behind in life in general, but after getting confident in my ability to learn, I now feel like I can tackle anything.

This is a fundamental skill. If you have trouble learning, this course is the easiest recommendation of my life.

Really engaging and thought-provoking.

Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terry Sejnowski presented new, interesting and relevant material in a clear and engaging way.

I have acquired useful tools and new ways of thinking which will help me with all areas of learning in future.

The guest speakers were also very knowledgeable and provided additional angles to the course material.

Thank you very much, Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrence for this wonderfully curated course. I wish I had access to this course when I was in school. All these years I was focussing on the product and not on the process of learning thus missing the joy of learning. The course is meant to how to study and learn effectively and not waste time with ineffective study techniques.

This course is amazing! I really learned a lot in this course, I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand how your mind works and how it learn, the teachers' didactics are great, in addition to passing on knowledge in the best way possible. I am totally excited to study using the techniques I learned here. Thank you very much for sharing this material with us.

Not only does this course showcases how powerful Coursera is, it's content is amazing.

Barbara and Terrence are great at sharing their technical knowledge in a very enriching and endearing way. This went a long way in terms of helping me perceive how we're always learning - whether in class or in life - and how our efforts in either path are complementary to each other.

I enjoyed this course and definitely recommended for anyone who wanted to improve their life. If you are a student in which about to take a tough course, this should come to you first hand and it will guaranteed to ease out your learning. Thank you Barbara Oakley and Dr Terry Sejnowski! All the best to you all. Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching. <3

This course was straight forward, precise, and clear about it. The instructors' voices were clear and no jargon going on during the discussion. As per the topic, I've learned a lot about different types of techniques as I wish I learn them earlier on in my life. Nevertheless, it was never too late as I will apply them continuously throughout my life and to my children.

its an amazing course, not only for students, teachers but also for practitioners of all fields. because every body has to learn some thing new, to be updated. Usually every body faces, anxiety of learning, fear of exams and some time exhaustive and not getting whats, presented to them. Authors came up with many techniques to tackle all the problems related to learning

It is one of the most practical courses in Memory and learning I found on this platform.The techniques and tools you get to understand and the way the things of the brain are simplified for a student of any background to understand is the USP of this course.For me, it was a lovely experience to learn how to learn under course designers Dr B. Oakley and Dr T. Sejnowski.

In one word? GREAT! If this is your first time on coursera, you should start with this course. It's dynamic, entertaining and provides you with the fundamentals of learning more efficiently. Afterwards, you'll be more prepare for whatever course you take. I wish I had taken this course 20 years ago ;). I am truly thankful with Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski.

This class should be taught to everyone in school, no later than the fourth grade! I loved the material and found it to be immensely interesting. I utilized some of these techniques without even knowing it, but the ones I adopted from the course will serve me for a lifetime. So much to gain from this class, and it is so short, you would be crazy not to go through it.

I really liked this course. Dr. Oakley did a great job. I've already used some of the methods mentioned in this course to go after some work certifications that I've had difficulty with. I am a huge procrastinator and I felt like this course was created for me and people like me to try and get a handle on my ever challenging issue that I battle with everyday.

Thank you

This course is definitely an eye-opener not only for learning in academics, but in learning in life in general! Not only was it super interesting through and through, but it was actually very practical. It literally gives you the tools to be able to tackle any challenging task that involves learning, time and effort. I wish I had taken this before or while in college!

This course was really helpful, first of all in general and everyday life, learning how to control your bad habbits and to understand how your brain really works.

It helped me in my learning experience, by so many skills and to understand that I'm able to learn something new in my life and improve it and the using it to make a good success in my life.

Thank you so much.

Great course! It helps me a lot with my learning routine, show me what works and what doesn´t work based on a neurological level and how to change my learning habits. Many useful techniques on how to learn, how to remember, why we procrastinate and why we feel stress and how to deal with it. It´s necessary for everybody who wants to improve his life, not just grades.

A great course which provided valuable insight in the importance of learning effectively. I am especially appreciative of the material that I was presented with, and am grateful of the lessons that the instructors provided me. Now, on to Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential, which I believe will also be an excellent course.
