Barbara has a very clear, unique, sincere way of communication. The videos combine useful information with some humor which makes the information stick better. I would have really enjoyed having her as a teacher for anything.

I learn efficient use of time, achievement of goals, elimination of boredom, getting rid of bad habits, ability to set goals, work from easy to difficult and so on. very useful course. thank you all who organized this course.

It was a very addictive course!

I would like to learn more from Dr. Barbara Oakley, she was very calm and contagious.

I am sad that I completed the videos ... but I am also happy with what I learned !!!

Thank you very much!!!

Amazing course. I am a professional Software Engineer with more than a decade of experience. I still found this course super useful to understand how to optimise my learning and growth.

Thanks a lot for such an awesome course.

This course should be mandatory for every student and parent! It would save a lot of stress for kids, who rate themselves based on academic success.

It has some really useful tips and tricks that are easy to remember and try.

This class was easy, fun, and very great information for me to know and accomplish in a whole day! I love learning new things, and this class was a good amount of time with its pacing, work load, and application of knowledge!

Really I enjoyed the course very much and it make it how to use my brain and to make things i have never been dreamed that my brain can do .. Thanks for all who this great efforts to make such this important and great course.

I am wondering I did NOT even know since my birth how to learn scientifically and effectively. By the grace of the almighty, I know it now. Thanks to the team, the institute behind this magnificent course as well as Coursera!

This course is valuable for anyone with a desire to learn new things. It informs you how to approach your learning in a considered way and how to deal with problems when you get stuck. I wish I had known this in high school.

Great way of learning about the mind and how it works. This helps greatly in achieving better results when learning, studying or working. Thank you so much for putting this together, I am sure it will be tremendously helpful.

This is a great course for everyone. Some very simple tools are shared by the instructors which can help learners get over procrastination, and get the most out of study sessions. Useful tips to ace the exams are also shared.

Excellent course. Changed the way of learning the new things.

Many concepts about Test Preparation, Pomodoro Technique etc explained very nicely. Metanicely.

I enjoyed my lerning with this course.

Thank you for being with us.

This course really helped me to understand different ways to improve my learning and thinking abilities. I would recommend others to follow this course since it makes you learn about the things which we think we already know.

I like the way material is presented. As mention in the course, our education system more bother about result of learning. But first time, I learned the process of learning itself. Very useful when I study any new material.

This course is amazing. I found out why I have failed so much in my studies so far. This course should be taken in all elementary schools. That way everyone would understand the importance of studying and how to really study.

Brilliant course reveals a lot of useful tips and practices. It showed me how important is to use both modes of the brain to be a better learner. Also I learned how procrastination tricks you and how to cope with it. Love it.

I learned so much from this course, it was also a glimpse at university, thank you so much. Since completing this course I have started my journey to enrolling with the University of New England, Australia. Thank you again.

It is awesome! I learned how to learn in less than two months and Professors are so good at explaining I had no problem even if I'm not a native english speaker. If you are a curious mind that course is for you, go and learn!

Este es un curso verdaderamente funcional, con una gran variedad de técnicas y dinámicas eficaces todas que me permiten en todo momento organizar mi sistema de aprendizaje y retenerlo a largo plazo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I have understood about my study style, which I think will help me a lot in pursuing new learning. Many thanks professor Barbara Oakley and her co-ordinator for preparing this course and made it available to such many people!

You should definitely do this course if you are: i. A disciplined, self-motivated lifelong learner ii. Curious about how you learn and looking to hack the best way to learn iii. An aspiring autodidact or an aspiring polymath.

This course makes tackling a new subject methodic and easy, even addressing public enemy #1 - procrastination (I bet you thought I was going to say Donald Trump). It becomes so much harder to get thrown off track. Thank you!

I've learnt very useful tools which I'm going to start applying very soon. Very interesting to know a little bit about how our great brain works. Teachers know how to transmit the ideas in a concise but effective way. Thanks!

Most exciting course that I encountered through 3 yrs being active on coursera. Big thanks to everybody involved and keep it up! You help people change their lives and achieve their dreams. And sophistication is contagious :)

Fantastic course. There were complex concepts delivered in simple (but not patronising) language, and some practical steps to take during your continued learning.

Thank you very much for an entertaining and informative course.
