Fabulous. Most meaningful and powerful course I have taken in years. A must. A critical must. Only wish this existed when I was much younger and about to embark on my educational journey. Still valid and relevant. Bravo-exceptional presentations, science, and lectures. Thank you, thank you.

I loved this course, I think everyone should take Learning How to Learn before starting high school or college. It would make a lot of difference in how they approach education and Learning. It is a good source of motivation to know that with enough effort and perseverance, anyone can be a genius.

It is a great course that worth to take. Both instructors will share with us tips and simple tricks. I like the optional interviews after each topic that bring people with different backgrounds to share with us about how to learn. You will definitely able to more valuable tools and be open-minded.

I found the course really interesting. The outlay of how the course is presented is really dinamic and keeps you focus on the task. Teachers are easy going and the forum is full of students aiming to learn and help others. It has been a pleasure to be part of the activity.

I am thankful to Barbara Oakley for her research on"Learning How to Learn" and giving it away for people like me. Because of this course I was able to debunk my myths regarding learning which always ran around my head. I am thankful to every single people who worked to get this course on coursera.

Really terrific class and material. I savored each lecture and found myself excited to come back for more every week. This is a great class to take concurrently with any other class on Coursera or in general - it gets you excited and well-prepared for the common pitfalls of learning something new.

One of the best courses I've ever taken. Wish I'd had a class like this in high school or college -- I would have pursued a degree in science instead of the liberal arts. I will be assigning this class to my son next summer before his junior year in high school. Thank you for a wonderful resource!

I wish I had taken this course 25 or so years ago. I have started using several of the techniques taught in this course, including Pomodoro technique, and am already seeing improvements in my use of time, along with various other techniques from the course helping with retention and understaning.

I have to thank Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski for an excellent course. I follow the scrip with the video and practice the recall every time and I do think are a great value for everyone . I wish I new what i know now when I went to college, it would have been easier for me . Thank you . OG

The course has given me a lot of strategies to overcome some problems that i have when it comes to learn and doing things, of course that its up to one if he or she is committed enough to try the techniques thaught in here. But the course has filled a lot of my expectatives.

Thanks to all the staff

The course is short but you get to learn a lot about how memory works, best study and learning practices and how to manage your time.

The videos are short and quiz you at the end, so it's very easy to keep your focus.

I would advise taking this course, even if you aren't a student anymore (like me).

All of the techniques presented in the course are essential to succeeding in whatever you are trying to learn. I bought the companion book to reinforce the ideas from the videos and it followed the outline perfectly. Looking forward to applying these learning tools to future courses at Coursera.

I love the learning models that have been shared in this course, it really brings me a lot of new concepts of learning and many helpful techniques like Pomodoro, start-hard-jump-easy, memory palace and so on. Furthermore, I notice that I've embraced exercises and sleeping more after this course:)

This course introduced me to impactful techniques and strategies that helped me greatly throughout my secondary and (currently) post-secondary schooling. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to remove procrastination, increase their productivity and achieve more in their life!

This course has been such an enriching experience. For anyone who pursues the course and completes all the activities with interest, it opens up new avenues and interests. I recommend it for all students and learners in general. I hope everyone gains what I have from the course. Happy Learning :)

I appreciate the lecturers Barbara and Terry for being very clear and not so much sophisticated explaining every concept and ideas shared while teaching the course. All four modules are structured in the most accessible way. They may be useful for any person whether a teenager or a retired adult.

One of the best courses ever!!!! So much important and helpful tips, wonderful specialists and Dr. Oakley is a perfect lecturer - during this short videos she just wonderfully "inserted" all those ideas in my head! Thank you for the wonderful topic, for the great research and the best lecturer!!!

I really enjoyed the class. As a 53 year old that's been out of the class setting for a very long time, this class has provided me with much needed confidence. Even if I never step foot in another class, this course even provide skills and techniques for the work setting.

Thank you Dr. Oakley!

im very proud of finishing this fantastic course. it could jump me a new step of how learning something new, once im a english language student so concluded it was really grantedfull. People like you can make the world more smart and less silly. thanks im looking for forward to start another one.

I feel this course gave me a solid foundation on how to tackle my education. Before, I knew some of the methods taught here, but didn't realize their importance and simply neglected using them. On top of that, the lessons were concise and interesting, which made them easy to follow. Great course!

Very simple, but at the same time very important course for everyone. Helps to understand many things that happen in our life. I'm ashamed to admit, but I did not know some things. The course is well formed in the overall picture of the worldview and self-knowledge, and will be useful to everyone

I cannot think of a single person I know that wouldn't highly benefit from taking this course. Learning is what differentiates us from the dead. And this course lessons can be applied in all areas of our lives. I am recommending it for every one. This should be a required course for all teachers.

I liked very much the course. Is a life change course, that will help me not only in my academic preparation, but in my daily tasks and in my job. I appreciate very much the way this course is granted. Thanks to the teachers and the way the course is produced (the videos are great!). Best, Maggie

Awesome course.

These mental tools are really helpful!

Thanks a lot!
