This course is fantastic. Complicated neuroscience is boiled down and made accessible to a student of any age. The content is described so thoroughly by the professors. I have learned techniques that I can apply in my own life to improve my productivity, memory, and study habits. So happy to have foun

This is good course to improve your learning skill, we know what should we do to be more effective in learning and better in remember the contents of the lesson or topic that we are learning. Thank you very much to authors for having this great course with clear explanation, guide and concrete example.

This is a game changer. It blew me away to see how just a couple of hours a week for a month could change my approach to learning (and teaching too) so radically and improve it so much. I am deeply indebted to Mrs Oakley and Mr Sejnowski for providing such important knowledge in such an easy going way.

I find this course extremely valuable for me, even though I finished my studies couple of years ago. Now I look at the process of studying from different perspective with very well understanding the processes involved in understanding and memorizing things. I really recommend this course for everyone!

This course really changed my process of learning , I learned very important things that I didn't know . things that I learned about brain diffuse and focused mode , exercise to create new neurons and pomodora Technic were really interesting and impressive , thanks a lot

Extremely well done! Very campy at times, but this really helps make the concepts 'stick'. Barb practices what she teaches, is very passionate about this subject and is a real inspiration. I sure wish I had learned this stuff before working through 2 BS and 1 MS! Am a little sad the course is over.

even though I have been studying and giving exams also have been guiding students to give exams , I have found this course to answer an important question what others avoid , HOW. the other question being WHY , which often is well prescribed. It is this question that makes the entire process so easy.

The course is rich in content, clear and consise, delivered in a manner that is understable even to the layperson. I am greatly indebted to the Instructors for sharing these timely, precious and eye opening nuggets from the wealth of years of research and their personal experiences. Thank you so much.

This course has been very helpful to me. When it comes to memorizing, the points where I've had the most trouble and were in question, have been answered right here in this module. I will remember to use some of the techniques given in this module as I move on through more Coursera courses.

Thank you.

I have learned so much by doing this course from how to stop procrastinating, to the different types of memory, and not to mention the helpful tips, but I don't wanna get too far into the details of how it helped me, so I think you will just have to try it for yourself. I highly recommend this course.

This was a phenomenally helpful course. I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2015 which seriously affected my short-term memory, as well as my spatial and temporal reasoning skills, and Learning How to Learn really helped me in terms of finding new compensatory strategies. I took the course twice!

Brilliant course! I learned some new lessons and also reinforced my good learning habits. It also made me reflect on my learning Journey from high school to undergrad and the advice here perfectly matches my experience. I will be starting a masters degree this summer and the advice here will be handy.

Excellent self paced class. The videos are very interesting and I found myself watching more than I intended to do in one sitting. Loved the quizzing after each module that made sure I understood the information before I moved on. Thank you Barbara Oakly and Dr. Sejnowski for your wonderful teachings!

Absolutely recommend this to anyone trying to improve their learning efficiency. Lots of great techniques and information about how the brain works and how to improve its abilities. The interviews give valuable insight from prominent academics on their habits and way of thinking that makes them great.

A truly outstanding course! I wish I knew all about all these techniques when I was at school and university, let alone having such supportive and knowledgable teachers! I look forward to receiving Barbra's email every Friday, they are jam packed full of useful resources. Highly recommend this course.

This is the most exciting course that I studied in my life! Now I know how to improve the quality of my self-education. Also this course will help me as a teacher of mathematics to make classes more and more interesting and understandable for my students. Thank you so much for this unique opportunity!

This is a wonderful school. Would highly recommend it to all students and more importantly all teachers at all levels. I am hoping to use these great learning tips in my class and students. Hope to translate it to my native language of Odiya so that more people can be exposed to these important ideas.

Many things in here should really be taught in fundamental higher level education courses. Although some of the videos are outdated, the concepts are not. Barbara does a pretty good job explaining things and even using the course and tests themselves to showcase how well some of these techniques work.

A great course for helping you understand how your mind works. I have learned that learning need not be something laborious but rather it can be a fun journey with the right tools and techniques. I look forward to applying what I have learned to all aspects of my life, not just in my formal education.

if you’re looking to enhance your learning skills, “Learning How to Learn” is a must-take course. Professors Oakley and Sejnowski have crafted an engaging and practical learning experience. Kudos to Coursera for making this accessible to learners worldwide! Thank You Team for such a wonderful course.

Estupendo curso. Me he encontrado físicamente mal al aprender que mis métodos de estudio, los que aprendí hace casi 20 años son incorrectos.

También es una gran ayuda para aprender a identificar qué cosas te hacen procrastinar y ser más efectivo resolviendo problemas o intentando aprender nuevas cosas

the course was awesome. I have gained a lot of methods and approaches to learning.

The importance of sleep to remove toxins and increase concentration.

Optimizing 2 states of the brain to remember lessons longer, from short-term memory to long-term memory

Thank ProfBarbara Oakley Dr. Terrence Sejnowski

This was one of the most interesting, amazing and wonderful courses I have even enrolled. The Instructor was an amazing teacher. Her smile and brief and clean explanation made this course outstanding. I really enjoyed and learned a lot of new things in this course. Thank you so much for your efforts.

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken with regards to learning. The professors don't only teach you the theory, they also show you how it is applied by interviewing the experts. It really makes a big difference. I just can't thank the professors enough for producing such a wonderful course.

Among the many valuable lessons, I have learned in this course is the power of the brain when you recognize, nourish and use it. Some techniques existed passively in my life but now I use them intentionally to learn and be creative. It's been an insightful journey, Am glad I have learnt how to learn.
