I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

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 course is simply amazing. I wish these learning techniques were taught when I was in school. The course content is highly practical and delivered in interactive manner. The review questions were very good too and were very helpful in recalling the previous videos. I found the additional interviews to be very motivating as well.

This course is absolutely amazing. It is not only for students or career oriented people but for use in daily life. Once you go through the course, you will find yourself changing the wrong patterns and habits for the good, beneficial ones, resulting in a far better and fruitful life. Do take this course. Its sort of an eye opener.

This course has helped me a lot. It showed me the mistakes I have been making all these years in my studies, but it has also helped me to confirm what I have been doing right and keep doing it. It is very important to understand how the brain works - I wish we were taught these things in school. But it's never too late.

The course has a lot of good information. I found the course to be well worth my time. I did not think the content was anything totally new to me. What it did was explain the ideas in a way that gave me a deeper knowledge, and better understanding to where i can use the information to improve my learning.

Wonderful course to understand how to build sessions for different learners, what to incorporate in learning for maximising learning. From a student perspective I think a lot of what we have done in school but forget to do as adult learners, that we still need to be the child when it comes to learning

I think as human we constantly learning, but sometimes we learn hard but may not necessarily effective. Through this course, I learned the scientific reasons why some techniques are effective and some are not. I also learned simple techniques that I can apply in my learning process.

Excellent course if you put in practice every tip, don't rush between modules but take your time to understand every concept. Once you complete the full course, you for sure will see a difference between how you have learned in the past and how you will want to learn from now on.

Course illustrated very effectively many enhanced approaches for successful learning processes based on neuroscience and proven methodologies. Recommend this course for others who find their usual approaches to studying and learning to be less than satisfactory.

I wish this would be taught in schools at early age and through out. Many fail because many don't have a frame of study to rely on. This is a course that has help me have a more grounded study habit that works.

This course gave me a new perspective on how to approach learning anything new from now on. Would have loved to have been aware of the concepts and ideas discussed in these chapters while I was still in school!

Practical and simple - 1) outlines relatable misconceptions and 2) provides clear solutions that I'll surely apply to my own learning goals ASAP. Very few "filler" videos, which were interesting anyway.

I highly recommend everyone to take this course. The course makes so much of sense and it reasons why someone learns the way they learn and it debunks a lot of misconceptions and myths around memory.
