This course accumulates a clear and valuable set of thoughts that structure knowledge about learning principles and tactics. Also, it was interesting to know some new things about how the brain works.

I specially like the optional interviews. These learning case studies are quite insightful and you might just find a something that you can relate to, which might help in the grand scheme of things :)

Awesome course that helped me get a broad perspective on why I tend to procrastinate and how I should go about tackling the problem. I think a course like this should be standard and I recommend that you take it.

It was good learning how to learn. Managed to get a new perspective on how to study and realized I was doing some of them without knowing what it was exactly. Give yourself time and study bit by bit. Great work!

I wish I had this course back in the days I was a student. But the topic is so relevant also to professionals who are in a position to learn, create, research new things as part of their job. Highly recommended!

This was an excellent course. Barbara Oakley is very knowledgeable about the human brain and how we learn, and she shares this knowledge in an easy to understand way. Anyone could benefit from taking this class.

Очень полезный курс, очень сжато и содержательно о том как лучше усваивать и запоминать информацию. Вдохновившись курсом, сейчас читаю книгу Барбары Окли "Думай как математик", пожалуй лучшее приложение к курсу.

Very interesting content and effective teaching. However, the quizzes are too easy so in order to really benefit from the course I think it's important to take responsibility and do retrieval practice "offline".
