One of the Best course I came across how to learn smartly... instead of learning long hours... all parts of course are giving insight details of technique of learning with consideration to working of our brain. Thanking to Both the Mentors and Coursera for giving such an opportunity to learn this course

As a lifelong procrastinator without good study habits, I found this course invaluable. It explains good learning techniques, ways to overcome procrastination and important insights into how the brain learns. I’ve already incorporated principles from this course in other subjects with excellent results.

Wonderful course! I was initially hesitant about this course as I thought it would simply rehash material that most people already know, but this is certainly not the case -- even for a post-university grad like myself. The two instructors are enthusiastic, the course is well presented, and very useful.

An Excellent Course. This course has helped me a lot in understanding things better and also introduced various techniques of learning that I was unaware of. Everyone who has trouble understanding the concepts or thinks they have weak memory should try this course. Thank You Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski

Barbara's sequencing of material, interleaving of concepts, and frequent use of imagery were immensely helpful in getting me to retain the information. This course has fundamentally changed my approach to learning & helped me "get out of my own way" when it comes to achieving something I care about.

Excellent help for learning how to study new and complicated subjects. As a mature student retraining in a technical field this helped me take my haphazard textbook reading and understand my specific learning process. I could then focus and hone my homework and study habits to be much more effective.

I got a very important insight from the course. Teachers gave a lot of useful priceless information that is difficult to just. You can live all your life and never know these important things. Great luck to learn about them on the course and learn from such excellent wise teachers. It's Zen!. Thank You!

Great course! Very informative and helpful for anyone who wants to learn (and teach) better and more efficiently. It is very good structured, and the content is represented in a clear, comprehensive and concise manner. There are a a lot of additional resources which are very good. I highly recommend it!

I like the podomoro strategy. It something I tried duringstudyinf for my last test. I get really distracted so I do other things other than homework but this helped me focus and want to focus so I can feel good about enjoying walking my dog, or checking my phone, or a longer break like watching Netflix.

A great course for shifting your perspective on how to approach learning something new. The course is not too difficult but offers valuable tips on how to use your brain wisely. I learned a lot from it and definitely suggest this to someone who feels like they haven't been the most "successful" student.

An amazing course that teaches you to practice self-knowledge, understanding your bad habits, accepting procrastination and how to stop it, so you can improve your learning skills. I highly recommend this to anyone that want's to learn better, stay motivated not only on college classes but also at work.

This was my first course on coursea and I enjoyed it. I found the material beneficial and useful.

I particularly liked the interviews as well; very helpful.

I felt that this was a very practical place to start for my first course before embarking on learning new subjects that I've never thought of before.

I really enjoyed this course. The instructors were engaging and fun. The repeated some important points effectively. The jokes and things were a bit silly but very memorable and fun. I would like the ability in the mobile app to be able to pre-download videos and to slightly speed up the playback speed.

Great course!!! The teachers are really really great!! You can see in the videos that they are amazing. A lot of new knowledge.

I think everyone who is involve with economics, development and education of course have to take this course. Well, this course will be a huge help to anybody in any field also.

Este curso deveria ser matéria obrigatória na grade de todos os cursos em todas as universidades. Sendo mais ousado, este curso merece ser ministrado nas escolas de todo o mundo. Gratidão aos autores quecederam seu tempo para fazer essa obra e assim potencializar o aprendizado de milhares de pessoas.

This course has helped me in more ways than I can count. It has brought back my passion for learning, gave me valuable tools that I couldn't properly utilize (it was like I was trying to build a shelf with children's toys prior!), and made me excited at the prospects of my future. Thank you so much.

I have learned so much about how to learn. At 72 it is a little dismaying to realize all the study techniques I have employed in my life were less than effective. Accounts for how little I have retained from the days gone by as opposed to those subjects I actively engaged in and did the necessary work.

This course is beyond amazing! I really enjoyed learning these programs. And it really helped me a lot in the moment, I'm sure it will bring me more benefits in the coming semester! I'll miss learning this course and I will definately recommand this amazing course to those around me! Thank you so much!

10/10 will recommend to anybody who is trying to learn anything. Doesn't matter if you are a pro player or a beginner you will at least get a better insight to your own thinking. PS: When you reach the climax you will realized that's the same thing the course is trying to teach; "Oppose your Dogmatism"

An eye opening course I will remember forever, glad I took this seriously. Now, looking back to my college days, I can say how inefficiently was I trying hard to learn. I have now clear ideas how should I learn and move forward in life. This definitely is a course for everyone, student or professional.

I found Coursera very beneficial and helpful. It broadened my ways of studying in a way that I feel more confident in my self to get my work done in a more organized and self efficient way and less stressed about taking tests now that I have found good methods to calm my stress when doing so. Thank you

This course has truly changed my take on the studying and learning process. It was structured in a very learner friendly way that scaffolds the information. I have already recommended both Coursera and Learning How to Learn to more than one person and I hope they enjoy this experience as much as I did.

This course opened a lot of my learning mistakes. I'll keep studying with more patience and perseverance, however now, it will be more efficient as i won't drop learning because 'I'm stupid. Everyone else is smarter than me.' and won't listen to others that i cannot accomplish something. Thanks Barbara

Great introduction to current understanding of effective and efficient learning techniques ie. recall, interleaving, spaced repetition, pomodoro etc.. New neurons forming throughout life in the hippocampus (memory) and recess/exercise is the best enforcer of these new memories/learning....as is sleep!!

Great and easy to understand material. The course is easy to follow-through and contains a lot of useful information that you're not likely to learn in depth in most classes at school. The teachers are very experienced and include many examples/real-life situations to help you get through the material.
