Probably the most important course I've ever taken in my life and it was completely free. Already applied many of the concepts and have seen the difference. Do yourself a favor and take this course.

I wish I know about this techniques when I was an undergraduate or even a graduate student. But the good thing, my learning has not stopped yet, so, this is an excellent way to learn new things. Thank you, Dr. Barbara Oakley, and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski (That running thing, it works magic!)

It really supported and motivated me with my leanings of Web Development. My greatest takeaway is that learning takes not only place while concentrating on something. But also sports, sleep and giving yourself time on a topic is fundamental to better and faster really understand something.

Very helpful to others out there. It will increase your efficiency on learning new subjects and brining more stronger concept or theory of it applying all the materials or tools and methods discussed in the video. Well done especially to the instructors involved. They explained it so well.

Thank you for creating an encouraging class. Learning, facts and science is invaluable, but without encouragement, being pursistant and confident when learning it is very hard to stay productive and learn to the best of the brain's potential. Thank you I look forward to the follwing weeks.

Great course! There are a lot of practical techniques and tools introduced in the course. Also, the professors explained the science behind some common behaviors or feelings. Hopefully I am forming a better learning habit. At least I am handling procrastination according to the videos now!

This is by far the best course I have taken on Coursera. It reminds me of the techniques that I have long been abandoned and introduces intriguing part on improving myself. This one is simply brilliant. I will definitely recommend this course to any full-time undergraduate student to take!

This is an absolutely excellent course which should be taught in schools. I have founded a coding school ( https://agileroo.com) where I teach kids how to code - I will introduce a special module called "Learning how to lean", since the material is much needed for all kids and teenagers.

'Learning how to Learn' has been a great course to take before undertaking other online courses. Such a detailed layout of best study habits, how to overcome common memory problems and the latest in learning techniques, makes it a must when getting back into a learning phase in my career.

A wonderful course to get you out of a study rut and bust your inefficient study habits. The instructors, Barb & Terry, were sweet, friendly and very reassuring. Loved the course and would recommend it to anyone in the need of some motivation and tips for the next big test they're taking!

This is an inspiring journey. I highly recommend it to anyone who has crises of faith when seeking out new knowledge that is within your reach but just lingering out of your grasp. If it were up to me I'd make it compulsory for everyone who joined the full-time workforce every 12 months.

This course is very useful for re-establishing what you already know about learning, for grasping fresh and new ideas and perspectives on learning and it is also useful for establishing a new "learning practice" or breaking bad learning habits. I have enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!
