I have learned so much about how to learn. At 72 it is a little dismaying to realize all the study techniques I have employed in my life were less than effective. Accounts for how little I have retained from the days gone by as opposed to those subjects I actively engaged in and did the necessary work.

This course is beyond amazing! I really enjoyed learning these programs. And it really helped me a lot in the moment, I'm sure it will bring me more benefits in the coming semester! I'll miss learning this course and I will definately recommand this amazing course to those around me! Thank you so much!

10/10 will recommend to anybody who is trying to learn anything. Doesn't matter if you are a pro player or a beginner you will at least get a better insight to your own thinking. PS: When you reach the climax you will realized that's the same thing the course is trying to teach; "Oppose your Dogmatism"

An eye opening course I will remember forever, glad I took this seriously. Now, looking back to my college days, I can say how inefficiently was I trying hard to learn. I have now clear ideas how should I learn and move forward in life. This definitely is a course for everyone, student or professional.

I found Coursera very beneficial and helpful. It broadened my ways of studying in a way that I feel more confident in my self to get my work done in a more organized and self efficient way and less stressed about taking tests now that I have found good methods to calm my stress when doing so. Thank you

This course has truly changed my take on the studying and learning process. It was structured in a very learner friendly way that scaffolds the information. I have already recommended both Coursera and Learning How to Learn to more than one person and I hope they enjoy this experience as much as I did.

This course opened a lot of my learning mistakes. I'll keep studying with more patience and perseverance, however now, it will be more efficient as i won't drop learning because 'I'm stupid. Everyone else is smarter than me.' and won't listen to others that i cannot accomplish something. Thanks Barbara

Great introduction to current understanding of effective and efficient learning techniques ie. recall, interleaving, spaced repetition, pomodoro etc.. New neurons forming throughout life in the hippocampus (memory) and recess/exercise is the best enforcer of these new memories/learning....as is sleep!!

Great and easy to understand material. The course is easy to follow-through and contains a lot of useful information that you're not likely to learn in depth in most classes at school. The teachers are very experienced and include many examples/real-life situations to help you get through the material.

This course is fantastic. Complicated neuroscience is boiled down and made accessible to a student of any age. The content is described so thoroughly by the professors. I have learned techniques that I can apply in my own life to improve my productivity, memory, and study habits. So happy to have foun

This is good course to improve your learning skill, we know what should we do to be more effective in learning and better in remember the contents of the lesson or topic that we are learning. Thank you very much to authors for having this great course with clear explanation, guide and concrete example.

This is a game changer. It blew me away to see how just a couple of hours a week for a month could change my approach to learning (and teaching too) so radically and improve it so much. I am deeply indebted to Mrs Oakley and Mr Sejnowski for providing such important knowledge in such an easy going way.

I find this course extremely valuable for me, even though I finished my studies couple of years ago. Now I look at the process of studying from different perspective with very well understanding the processes involved in understanding and memorizing things. I really recommend this course for everyone!

This course really changed my process of learning , I learned very important things that I didn't know . things that I learned about brain diffuse and focused mode , exercise to create new neurons and pomodora Technic were really interesting and impressive , thanks a lot

Extremely well done! Very campy at times, but this really helps make the concepts 'stick'. Barb practices what she teaches, is very passionate about this subject and is a real inspiration. I sure wish I had learned this stuff before working through 2 BS and 1 MS! Am a little sad the course is over.

even though I have been studying and giving exams also have been guiding students to give exams , I have found this course to answer an important question what others avoid , HOW. the other question being WHY , which often is well prescribed. It is this question that makes the entire process so easy.

The course is rich in content, clear and consise, delivered in a manner that is understable even to the layperson. I am greatly indebted to the Instructors for sharing these timely, precious and eye opening nuggets from the wealth of years of research and their personal experiences. Thank you so much.

This course has been very helpful to me. When it comes to memorizing, the points where I've had the most trouble and were in question, have been answered right here in this module. I will remember to use some of the techniques given in this module as I move on through more Coursera courses.

Thank you.

I have learned so much by doing this course from how to stop procrastinating, to the different types of memory, and not to mention the helpful tips, but I don't wanna get too far into the details of how it helped me, so I think you will just have to try it for yourself. I highly recommend this course.

This was a phenomenally helpful course. I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2015 which seriously affected my short-term memory, as well as my spatial and temporal reasoning skills, and Learning How to Learn really helped me in terms of finding new compensatory strategies. I took the course twice!

Brilliant course! I learned some new lessons and also reinforced my good learning habits. It also made me reflect on my learning Journey from high school to undergrad and the advice here perfectly matches my experience. I will be starting a masters degree this summer and the advice here will be handy.

Excellent self paced class. The videos are very interesting and I found myself watching more than I intended to do in one sitting. Loved the quizzing after each module that made sure I understood the information before I moved on. Thank you Barbara Oakly and Dr. Sejnowski for your wonderful teachings!

Absolutely recommend this to anyone trying to improve their learning efficiency. Lots of great techniques and information about how the brain works and how to improve its abilities. The interviews give valuable insight from prominent academics on their habits and way of thinking that makes them great.

A truly outstanding course! I wish I knew all about all these techniques when I was at school and university, let alone having such supportive and knowledgable teachers! I look forward to receiving Barbra's email every Friday, they are jam packed full of useful resources. Highly recommend this course.

This is the most exciting course that I studied in my life! Now I know how to improve the quality of my self-education. Also this course will help me as a teacher of mathematics to make classes more and more interesting and understandable for my students. Thank you so much for this unique opportunity!
