LHTL, i would never forget how valuable the lessons in this course are. It greatly improved how I learn. No regrets in starting my MOOC journey with this fun course. I also find the pomodoro technique a very useful tool not only in learning but also in accomplishing any task. Kudos to the team for making a very complex idea about a brain subject very digestable!

Отличный курс для всех, кто хочет понять как действительно нужно учиться и преодолевать самих себя. В кратких видео-роликах излагается масса полезной информации. Никакой воды и уйма полезных советов и техник, а также различные интервью, в ходе просмотра которых узнаешь как нужно делать что-то, в чем ты развиваешь себя сейчас, например, в изучении других языков.

This is a brilliant course no matter what stage you're at in your learning experience or what age you are. It strengthens key learning techniques, gives you new techniques to learn better and to overcome certain fears and anxiety associated with learning and finally also debunks certain wrong beliefs or learning methodologies that lead to illusion of competence.

The knowledge and techniques are very helpful for me to review my conditions and performance. It gives a scientific point of view and well explained what's going on with both your mental and physical conditions. This course should be strongly suggested those who would like to learn effectively. Thanks for the instructors Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski. Great work!

I think this is not only the most exceting course when you are taking it but also the most important course because It prepares and equipes you to learn any kind of courses or disciplines without fustracting and content yourself to apply the techniques and tools found by experts!!

I can garantuee your success in your learning journey after finishing this course!!

A really important course for everyone to take. It was really lovely to finally have formal instruction how to learn. I know for a fact that I could re-take this course several times and still learn a tonne from it, a course like this can be a game changer, of course of the lessons learned from it are applied to ones academic or non academic learning endeavours.

I have loved this course. It is a very useful lecture where I have learn how to improve dramatically the way I was studying English language. The "Pomodore" technic, and the app Barbara spoke answering to a student, is very useful. besides, following what I learned in this course I have increased the amount of hours and I am much more focused in what I am doing.

Very interesting, with lots of valuable information presented in the easiest way possible. They are very clear, eloquent and direct. Thank you so much for sharing all those life-changing informations. Looking foward to share them with other people.

PS: I also just shared this course with some of my students, hopefully they'll also come here to learn how to learn

The content of this class was fantastic, I enjoy the methodology and pedagogy of it, the examples, the zoombies, everything. My only feedback is to not only interview the brilliant minds of men, but also women. 98% of the interviews were done to men. I am pretty sure there are brilliant women out there that could provide smart and wonderful tips about learning.

Honestly, I think that this is such a powerful, useful, and beneficial course to take! It really does open your mind and educate you about how to properly learn. They do not only teach you about what you might be doing wrong, but they provide you with solutions and techniques to correct the way you learn! It is such an easy course and I definitely recommend it!

Hallo alle zusammen!

Vielen herzlichen Dank für die wertvolle Informationen über das richtige Lernen! Einige Praktiken habe ich bereits gewusst, aber mit dem Hintergrundwissen war es mir noch mehr verständlicher und somit wertvoller. Sehr angenehme Dozenten, hatte etwas meditatives an sich! Vielen Dank!Ich sende euch allen ganz herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland!

Great course for creating a solid mental model on learning how to learn. I am learning how to program, and never got a good education in how to learn math and science topics. I thought the course was great in explaining concepts in an unfolding way that allowed me to remember what was taught. I also appreciated the book recommendations, articles and interviews.

I think, it's a "must have" course for everyone, the sooner the better. So many researches and books behind it, but simple and clear language in the course. Really helped me to understand and avoid procrastination among many other insightful things. I've recommended this course to everyone of my friends and explained it to my kid. You should try it, believe me.

This course was designed near to perfection . Dr Barbara Oakley and Dr Sejnowski did a wonderful job.

I liked the optional interviews a lot and learned from the insights of special achievers in their field.

I liked the idea of writing essays on our plan of using this knowledge for our own and for teaching others what we have learned , fascinating and rewarding.

Extremely useful course. It not only helped me to learn scientifically-proven strategies of learning, but also inspired me to rethink my learning goals and highlighted areas I have either never thought of, or abandonend, thinking that it will take me more of resourses to master it, than I have; however now I'm positively sure that I can get back to my old goals

I will continue to revisit the course material for years now, I hung in there and it just kept getting better and better, and I can't thank coursera enough for the financial aid they gave me to complete this course with proper certification.

I totally enjoyed this course. Now going for some technical ones where I can apply the techniques learned in this course.

Along with the Learning How to Learn, there are many other things to learn. About how the professors have worked so indepth on the concept, how it is presented to effectively, little and major things that has effected the professors life (As it would for life of passionate people) and many more. Happy to take this course! Thanks a lot for providing this to us.

This is great course and I recommend it for all genders and ages. Be aware of new perspective and insights of how be a better student, teacher, self educator. The learning techniques you master throughout this course can be applied in all facet of your life both personally as well as professionally. A day without a new thing learnt is lost so keep on learning.

Отличный курс! Сейчас будучи взрослым человеком с высшим образованием я узнал из этого курса достаточно много новых приемов и техник. Жаль что не знал о данном курсе будучи студентом - это бы здорово бы помогло мне в учебе и сэкономило массу времени и сил. Настоятельно рекомендую пройти этот курс всем абитуриентам в не зависимости от выбраненной специальности.

I have learned so much about how to learn efficiently and effectively in just a short space of time. This course is laden with practical ways that you can use right away! I have been glued to this course not only because I find the material am learning is very useful but also because of Barbara's soothing voice and charming presentation. She's simply amazing!!

Amazingly insightful, lucid and transformation=al experience. Thank you so much -

Midway in the course, I paused to complete reading the book - A mind for numbers and then resumed the course, I feel truly rewarded about the time spent on the course as well as reading the book. Indeed indebted for this wonderful treatise.

sincerely & with gratitude

Learning How To Learn is a great course to start your Coursera journey. Extensive information on how to learn in easy bite-sized videos that make it easy to keep up the weekly deadlines. The instructors cover a lot of basic learning skills. I wish I had taken this course before I graduated. It would've made it much easier how to learn. Compliments to the team.

Realmente a internet é um mar de possibilidades, tornando possível assistir as aulas dos excelentes Professores da Universidade da Califórnia, San Diego, e beber de uma fonte enebriante de conhecimento. O curso certamente representa um divisor de águas para minha vida pessoal e profissional, e pretendo fazer todos quantos eu for capaz de assistir e dedicar-me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this courses. The lectures were insightful and well presented. I am currently employing some of the techniques that I have learned. I struggle with procrastination, and the idea of focusing on the process and not the product is helping me to get tasks completed, when I previously procrastinated. I think every student should do this course.

Fantastic course, for me the first one at Coursera and it was definitely more valuable than I expected. They not only give you insights of learning and several functions of the brain, they also give you concreet tools to use right away.

I am sure all the things I have learned in this course are applicable for every one, despite age or background.

Regards,

Thomas
