This is an amazing course. I would recommend that you take this course before doing any others in Coursera, it will give you a great foundation to take into any other subjects that you want to learn.

This is my first course at coursera platform and I enjoyed it. I've had the best experience of moocs learning and I loved the recall testing strategy which I found most helpful throughout the course.

This course presents a number of strategies which will definitely make your learning more effective -- if you apply them! Spaced retrieval, one of the key strategies, is notorious for not being applied even by students who have been exposed to the research on its value. So, learn how to learn, and go out and DO IT!

After having spent years away from any structured or institutional learning, this course gave me a great set of tools, perspectives, and strategies that are making the undertaking of resuming study much less of a 'boogeyman' - I can't thank Barb and Terry enough for bringing this course to fruition. Thanks, everyone.

Very interesting course. Learning how to learn is important for us, because homo sapiens due evolution are design to learn in jungle or deserts or country land but as we have live in earth from 200 hundred years ago (and before) and fast changes make that us need to learn diferent to master tecnologies and knowledge.

I can highly recommend this course to learners of all ages. I feel I got a lot out of it and wish that I had taken it many years earlier in my life. I'm now encouraging my kids (one in high school, one in college) to take it. I'm convinced both will benefit from it a lot and become better and more efficient learners.

Wow, I'm pretty impressed, I'm doing this course now for a week [2nd approach] and I can see the first results already. I'm confident now to handle a lot more tasks than ever before and yes I'm happy.
If you have some struggle with learning, here you can figure out effective and useful ways to approach it.
Good luck!

Amazing!! It gives tools that are very useful, it's nice to watch, easy, and it also explains many of our behaviours and habits in a very useful way. I love it and I think it can be useful for learners but also for teachers because it gives a new perspective on how we learn and the best ways of approaching knowledge.

Excellent tutors and material.I am 59 years old now and wish I had known this stuff when I was at school and before I decided to go into further education,at the age of 30. I would have even got a better grade than I did for my degree. I think this course should be part of any school's / college curriculum Thank you.

I so thoroughly enjoyed this course Barb Oakley is wonderful and engaged me the whole time. I will be reviewing this course as much as I can over the months to get those "chunks" into my head. Testing always has me concerned but the advise here made a lot of sense, like getting a good sleep the night before!! Thanks

Really useful to anyone who wants to learn or teach a lot but has never had a clue on how to do it in the most optimal way. Having this knowledge has allowed me to understand why I wasn't learning much and how I could improve my note-taking methods and learning habits so what I learn sticks for longer, even forever.

That's just wonderful! So many suggestions to improve a process solving difficult problems, learning something new and tricky things. Unlike other sources of the tricks described here, in this course it's explained why these techniques work. That's really very useful. Especially for me, who doesn't believe in magic.

This course is thought provoking and a game changer. The techniques learned in this curriculum can be grown and developed upon for a lifetime of learning. If you have been out of school for a while or even had some bad experiences, this is a good place to start. Thank you Dr's Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski.

Even though it didn't cover my specific hang-ups on studying, it changed the way I look at learning for the better. Chalk full of good advice and lovely presenters. I would recommend this to everyone, even if you're great at studying already. Getting a deeper understanding of how your brain functions is invaluable.

This was a great course. As someone who is trying to learn coding and doing my MA in English Literature, I desperately needed to learn how to learn and quick. This course helped me by giving me simple and easy techniques that I can work on to study effectively. Thank you SO much to everyone who worked on this MOOC.
