I enjoyed the class so much, I purchased Dr. Oakley's book and signed onto the follow-up course! In this course, I discovered key ways the mind works in relation to learning and how to use those aspects to my advantage. I'm no stranger to learning, but it was revealing to discover how to learn in better, more efficient ways than I have in the past. Thank you!

I've learned a lot from this course. After I took this course I found out that I was using wrong way to study in the entire college life. But now I can use the new technique to recall what I have learned before and sth new in the future. Thanks to professor Barbara Oakley. She has change my learning method and attitude toward new thing in the rest of my life.

I am approaching the end of PhD study. But I still think this is the best course I ever take in my life. I think it completely changed my life. Thanks so very much for sharing such important knowledge! I wish I had this class 10 years ago. It would definitely make my student career easier. However, it is still not too late. I highly recommend it to everyone.

This incredible course provides a glimpse into the neurological processes that take place when learning something new, and offers many effective strategies that can be used to become a better learner. As both a student and an educator, I feel like the knowledge I have gained through Barbara and Terry's lectures will be very useful to me in my future pursuits.

It's one of the best courses I've ever done! I'm really enjoying doing it. It's really well-thought and well-structured. I love every minute of it and I feel like I really analyse and learn something new. Huge thank you to the creators of the course and Barabara in paricular for beeing such an inspired and inspiring speaker. You are emazing! Thank you angain!

This course should be priority number 1 for everyone, especially those seeking personal development. The content is Basic but important concepts about how we process new information and store it in our memory. Is memorization the same as learning? In addition to learning how to study properly, you will benefit from the knowledge in many other areas of life!

This course is excellent, it has really helped rewire my thoughts about learning. I am now confident that I can tackle any challenge that comes my way. I have not only learned how to tackle school related challenges, but challenges that relate to life in general, come what may, I am certainly equipped to triumph over life's challenges, thanks to this course!

This course has been a boon. It has solved the greatest mystery in a student's life :). We know what to study, our teachers tell us that this will be in the exam, they give us set questions. But no one teaches us how to study, how to read the textbook, how to efficiently use our time studying. How to get up and start studying. How to remember what you learn.

A really excellent course I learned new learning techniques with other educational methodologies that have to do with other teaching models. The course content clear and well explained. Interesting contributions from the people interviewed. I am changing my learning habits to improve in every aspect of my life. I LEARNED New habits in my learning. THANK YOU

Very insightful and totally worth it !! If you really want to become a better learner, this course is for you. The tips, techniques and methods presented in this course will definitely help and this is for everyone (not just students). Even professionals who always need to upgrade themselves with new technologies will highly benefit from this course equally.

This is a well designed course. The presentations of Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski are clear, precise and interesting. The tests and exercises help me further understand every main concept of learning how to learn. This course inspires me and reconfirms that everyone has the ability to learn new things when you use the right techniques. Thank you very much.

I love to learn and that course is very interesting. I have found smart tools, good techniques and the teachers are very easy to understand : english is not my mother language but a didn't feel difficulties to catch the lessons. It's the first time i try to go through a mooc in English and it was very excinting ! Thanks for everything and good learning !! ;D

Professor Oakley is a wonderful presenter and her calm lessons and videos made me look forward to each weeks lessons. The video material was incredibly useful and I will be able to apply what I learned to my future test prep and everyday experiences. I have already shared many tips with friends and family.

Take this course; you will be happy that you did.

Mi first thought was “yeah, right. Another quick bunch of tips for studying”.SO WRONG! This course has changed my whole perception on pretty much everything I read and learn everyday. Until now I was convinced I was the “type of person” who couldn’t learn and keep knowledge. One of the best gifts I’ve given myself until now is take the time for this course.

Enlightening ! How I wish I could turn back the time to my childhood days when I was young. It could have helped me to learn/study better, the frustrations, guilt and self-blame for not doing well at school. Thanks for offering the course at no cost for I have benefitted alot from it.

My heartfelt thanks to Barbara, Terry and the Learning How to Learn Team.

This is the best! Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski made a very valuable course on improving your learning: practical, good insights, lots of mini-testing. This is the decade of 'lifelong learning': better get prepared well. For me, this course made me really go a step further. Thanks a lot 'Barb' and Terry. Without doubt... I highly recommend this course!

This is a great course to understand the mechanisms of learning and how to get out the most of them. I wish this course was taught at college as in my opinion is very valuable to understand the underlying processes and caveats in learning. I wish I took it earlier! Highly recommended as the teachers are very knowledgeable and the material is well presented.

Excellent ways discussed for helping to improve one's learning abilities. A must attend course for anyone interested in knowing how to hone mental faculties, whatever the discipline being learnt.

My sincere thanks to Coursera, and the instructors - Prof. Barbara and Dr. Terrence and their team for putting up such a fantastic course for the masses at large!!

I found this course to be excellent for giving me the confidence to get back into learning. I'm now looking into courses that will help me change direction to a more fulfilling career. It's helped me realise some important life rules: procrastination is not my friend and the pomorodo technique can be applied to pretty much anything - especially housework!

This course is simply amazing! It's well-structured and explains learning in simple, accessible ways. I've learned so much about learning, and realised that many things I used to do were wrong. You can get hands-on and actively change how you learn, bit by bit, as you go through the course. Barb and Terry's voices gave me a lot of confidence in myself, too!

Excelente curso. útil para toda clase de personas, desde estudiantes de Educación Media, pregrado, hasta posgrado. Cada persona que participe en él tendrá la oportunidad de mejorar integralmente en su ejercicio académico y de aprendizaje. Soy educador y puedo recomendarlo con seguridad como herramienta utilísima en sus trabajos. GRACIAS, MUCHAS GRACIAS...

This is an excellent short course. It is well designed and highly beneficial to anyone in any phase of their life. There are a number of interesting insights which help you to understand the process of learning, and certainly assists you in understanding yourself and what study methods will help you specifically. I highly recommend this course to everyone.

This course was great. It was well managed. The course was in small portions, therefore, it was easy to complete the weekly lectures without any burden.

I was greatly impressed by the mini-tests after almost every video which helped me to understand that specific video, also the tests at the end of the week.

Some of the techniques mentioned changed my life!
