I just could not stop watching the videos! This course is the perfect example of a well-designed online content, because it goes straight to the point, gives you tips on how to apply the knowledge according to your own needs and possibilities and opens the door to further exploration. I loved it!

I really enjoyed this class. I typically don't have trouble learning new subjects, but I was able to bring quite a few of these techniques to my everyday work life. I now know when I am procrastinating because the process of something seems really hard.

Thank you,

I tell everyone about this class.

The course was just amazing!

Short videos containing that allow the student to focus and don´t lose attention. One of the best online classes I´ve done!

Barbara is really good in explaining and show an enthusiasm for the subject that makes the student feel more will to sit and listen to the videos!

I am a 55 year old learner with two advanced degrees and I have struggled. My hope is that more people get exposed to your work. It has the power to ease suffering and end unnecessary battles with self confidence. It may even keep many from giving up. Thank you for your generosity and knowledge.

This should be a mandatory class for all high and university students. I wish I knew about this when I was at that age. It changed my learning habits and I am sure it will help my future studies and my life!

Approach and sell this course to your target audience. So there is your marketing idea!

Life-long learning is a must. I wish I had learned all this much earlier in life, but it is never too late. This was a great course. I also purchased the accompanying book. The Anki mentioned has also been very helpful in learning the concepts. Don't waste a moment. Take the course today.

I really enjoyed this course. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also made the material relatable. The videos were structured well, in small "bite-sized" units that were easily digestible. You could feel Barbara Oakley's enthusiasm for teaching. That was certainly a positive for me.

This is something I wish I knew when I was back in school which is why I'm teaching my kids all the techniques I learned. I've also prepared a ppt to share to my network of family & friends so they would appreciate learning more. Thank you Barbara and Terrence. I truly appreciate this course.

loved every single thing taught in the course, would love to use them in my learning process from now on. thanks to the wonderful professors who have taught the course so beautifully and for actually bringing the idea for such a wonderful and effective course. this was a nice experience overall.

This is the best course I have taken on Coursera. It is immensely fun, immediately practicable, is 'chunked' according to what it teaches, and possesses the perfect blend of head and heart. I picked up many useful skills and values, and highly recommend this course to everyone regardless of age!

This has been a very insightful class.

I have learned on how my brain works, which gives me a better chance to make better use of my natural abilities, mental skills and resources.

It has catalyzed my momentum towards learning and torn down some mental blocks that had followed me since childhood.

Very interesting course to understand how our brain is working with new information and materials.

Got several unknown technics to improve my ability to learn.

Authors did a good job and try to motivate their students to keep learning in future.

It was pleasant to invest my time into this course.

Its just amazing. I am so motivated by doing the course that I want to start doing something new, do something which was there in my bucket list but was suffering from procrastination. I am thankful to the reverend professors for showing me to learn and do new things.

Profound regards, Coursera!!

This course is fantastic. I feel like it's the best place to start if you want to get the most out of learning whatever skills you want to acquire. The lessons are simple, yet enlightening. You can begin using the techniques immediately after learning them and really see the difference it makes.

This course is a must for everyone! i used to procrastinate a lot but the habit starts to change as I learn the basic concept of our brain. This course really helped me to change the way I learn and understand new materials, how I study efficiently and effectively without having to force myself.

Great class! They explained how to use helpful learning tools to help retain information and stick to a schedule to avoid having a negative relationship with school and study and combat procrastination. I enjoy school so much more, I retain more information and I have all A's so far! Thank you!

This was amazing. A lot of practice, a lot of practical ideas. At fist I was a bit prejudices to the lecturers but in a few days I liked them very much. I use this "focused-diffuse thinking" approach a lot lately to remember the things I was trying to remember. Also I like additional interviews.

Sûrement une des choses les plus intéressante et enrichissante que j'ai pu faire, c'est un cours très agréable à suivre et que je recommanderai à n'importe quel étudiant ! j'ai déjà fais passer le message dans ma fac, de plus les résultats sont nettement visibles pour ma part.

Merci mille fois !

This course helps to unlock my brain and prepares me for life learning process. I believe it will do the same to everyone. I recommend that you start your learning process by learning how to learn. It lights up my brain and shows me that there are spaces in my brain for things that I never knew.

As an experienced vocational education teacher, this course has highlighted many concepts and ideas that I can pass on to my students to help them pass the course I am teaching. It has also opened my eyes to misconceptions and mistakes I am making in my own studies towards a Master of Education.

Right now, I am starting the last course week, but I am totally in love with all I have been learning.

I recommend everyone to read Dr. Barbara's book along with the course. It really helps deepening the learning.

Thank you very much for the possibility of learning from such high level professors.

I you are interested in knowing how we as a individual learn anything & what factors influence it to what extent, go for this course. The professors here will teach in a manner somewhat different & interesting from norm. Anyways, I think I got to learn a LOT !!! from this course, so Thank You..

Life-changing course teaches you everything about effective learning and how to learn better providing you with techniques and also ways to overcome challenges when they arise. The professors in this course explain every aspect easily and digestible making concepts and ideas easy to understand.

Amazing content. Even though I had self discovered some of the techniques mentioned in this course, the way they are presented and explained with scientific evidente by world class guests makes this course a must for anyone who is serious about achieving in the professional and academic life.
