This is a basic course for any student who starts learning in true sense. In my opinion, presentation of content was very simple and easy grasp but with huge impact.

I will not only adopt these techniques in my life, but also teach them to everyone around me. Definitely suggest this course to them if they want to learn more about them.

Excellent course but taking it just begins The Path to self improvement. The course will provide the tools and resources but it's no magic bullet and one has to apply what one has learned in a purposely progressive way and be persistent! Every journey begins with a single step, and learning how to learn is one giant leap for brainkind!

I really enjoyed this course and found the way it was structured with short lessons that had relevant content a great way to study. The course gave you varied learning techniques that were repeated to make each lesson more solid.

I recommend this course and will defiantly look to see if the same tutors have any other courses available.

This is one of the best course, specially for those who are struggling in their studies or any other task and not getting result of their efforts. It is also helpful for those who want to enhance their learning skills. The course addresses many core issues that we as a learner are not aware of and provides techniques to deal with them.

A really useful Course - why didnt they give us this at school when I was aged 14? It could have saved me 30 years of frustration - This should really be mandatory for all students prior to their exams, not only do you find out why and how you struggle with difficult concepts and explaining them, but a complete toolkit on how deal with

I hope taking this course ten years before. I have learned many things, many techniques. I'm watching the lessons again and again. Actually prepare to take some courses on a new field, I'm recalling Learning How to Learn's tips to make my learning process effective. Thank to Mrs.Oakley! Love Learning team with all the Friday greetings.

Fue un curso fantástico. El material se presentaba de manera clara y consisa, y los examenes estaban formulados de tal modo que necesitabas pensar detenidamente cada problema para saber qué respuesta era la indicada. Además, las técnicas de estudio y, en general, los datos que presentaba, eran útiles para estudiar el curso en sí mismo.

I wish I had this course available when I was starting to learn. This courses provides a approach to learning any area one is interested or required to learn. Madame Curie said "Nothing is to be feared but understood...". This subject makes understanding something new easier so that we don't fear the new but enjoy the learning process.

Very helpful course, not only for students, but for any kind of learners. It is good to know how things work behind the scenes (here - in our brain..), and get some simple but effective tools to manage better with learning processes. Built from short videos, you can learn bit by bit, and practice the tools while learning how to learn..

This course is perfect for anyone looking to improve their learning skills. It provides learners with the necessary tools to efficiently tackle difficult subjects. Through engaging lectures, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of how their brains process information, and learn how to optimize their learning experience.

I hadn't attempted to learn anything for >20yrs years and this course was a fantastic start. I'm now doing well in 3rd year Civil Engineering and still often utilize concepts learned in this course. I think it could be useful for many areas of study. Also, this course was much better structured than some MOOC's that I've come across.

I loved this class. I am planning on going back to the videos and refresh as needed. I wish I had learned this a long time ago. It teaches the tools to become a better learner. I also want to add that as a parent of small children, I want to pass this knowledge along to them so they can develop better study skills early on. Thank you!

As a BA, MS, DO, and more certificate holder person, this course really helped me to understand how I learned, how I can continue to learn in a better way, and how to structure my presentations for other adults to learn. Highly recommended to understand and make actionable advances in neuropsychology.

This was worth my time invested.

Coursera's Learning How to Learn class provided me insight into how to learn more efficiently, and what I was doing that simply doesn't work. Additionally, the explanation of why people procrastinate and how to work through it made the course invaluable, not only to studies but in my career as a software developer. Highly recommended.

This course is amazing. I really enjoyed pursuing it and I am a bit sad I didn't know this before starting my high school, or at least before I finished my college.

However, I am happy that now I know these techniques and hopefully through deliberate practice I will perfect them in my daily routine and rock everything I want to learn!

Truly wonderful course on learning techniques on the process of learning. I definitely wish I took a class like this in high school or college before graduating!!! I will take a lot of techniques and ideas learned in this class with me into future endeavors as I attempt to change careers!! Thank you so much Barbara!! You're a gem!! <3

Excellent course! it really changed me the way i study and the way i see how the brain works!

Been using some of the techniques since then and i'm developing new study habits that are starting to generate results really fast!. This course also woke the motivation to start new things, like a new language!

this is MOOC is a must to anyone

I was very excited when I learned about the existence of this course, so I decided to take it. I must say it beat my expectations, not only because of the useful tips (some of which I was already applying unconsciously, but others I introduced in my daily routines), but also because of the clarity with which the materials are exposed.

This was one of the first MOOC's I actually completed because the content was so compelling and Barbara Oakley is such a wonderful teacher! She made everything really fun and interesting and made me want to keep coming back to watch her videos. Highly recommended for ANY student or people interested in the study of learning/education.

A very good course offering many tools, always in the framework of the latest knowledge about the human brain. A lot of relevant tests greatly make it easier "understanding" and "memorization".

A subject that anyone should have made his own!

Many thanks to Barbara and Terry for their always very clear and well structured presentation.

A great, concise course on how to "hack your brain" to become a better learner.

If you are enrolled in any form of academic institution, the contents of this course are essential. And even if you are not in college or school at the moment, this class has excellent pointers on the whys and hows of life-long learning.

Highly recommended!

Almost done with this course. It is already helping me understand how to learn. Very useful practical information. I hope that this course will be opened up as an on demand. I would love to share it with others. I think this is knowledge that everyone should acquire. Thank you for taking time to make this course and offer it for free.

What a fantastic course! There were many things I found I had naturally did, without realizing they were optimal learning techniques - but there were plenty more techniques within the course that I wish I had learned sooner. Better late than never though. Dr. Barbara & Dr. Terry, thanks so much for putting this great course together!

I'm really get benefited from this course. The explanations and the lectures was smooth and understandable. I have got a key concepts and ideas that will help me a lot the future. Worthy to know that I will get back into this course again for two reasons: I love barabra oakly and to see the course with other perspective and thinking.

After a few years of knowing about this course and putting it off from time to time I finally buckled down all the way through! The initial anxiety went away and curiosity took it's place with each new concept, interview and article the professor provided, thank you so much for your teaching I hope to sharpen my newly aquired skills.
