This is a course which I enjoyed. It gave a good insight of the learning methodologies which we have often heard of but not given due importance. Also, the brain facts is cool :) My 5/5 to this course

Love it! Such a wonderful opportunity to explore effective texhniques of learning. I am already integrating some of them. Realeal mindshift here for me is to star using breaks and rewards. Never even thought about it and that was such an insight on the course. Thank you for all the materials. Its' toally worth of psending time learning how to learn.

It was a good course, I enjoyed it and gained insights and practical guidance on how to improve my own learning. I really enjoyed the supplementary interviews, especially those at the end of the course, and would recommend that future students be encouraged to watch them. I'd like to congratulate the professors and extend my thanks to the whole team.

This is one of the most powerful courses I completed. It practically changed the way I look at learning and has kindled in me a fire for life long learning. Thanks a lot Barbara and Terrence Sejnowski for putting together this incredible course for the benefit of one and all. This act of yours is life changing for people like me. Thanks once again.

This is a wonderful course. Everyone who is interested to improve their learning should take this asap. During studying this course often I wondered why there was no course like this during my school/college days. Better late than never for me :). Do take this course. Thanks a lot to the course creators for creating this superb, very relevant course.

A doorway to understanding your mind from the learning perspective. I do not think that this course is only for students who are trying to acquire new knowledge but this course is for everyone who understands the value of learning new knowledge in our personal and professional lives. In general this course is a must for people from all walks of life.

In just 4 quick weeks the course provides techniques, explanations and encouragement to improve in your intellectual development. The mandatory content of the course is only around 8-10h of videos. That is much less than binge-watching a season of your favorite show on Netflix. Make yourself the gift of going through this course. You won't regret it.

I would recommend this course to everyone including working professionals. This course is not limited only to learners of a course of studies. The concepts are extremely useful and I already see terrific self-improvement in my work and learning. Thanks to Coursera for hosting such a wonderful course. Last, but not the least the trainers were awesome.

Considero que el curso es espectacular, sobre todo en función de técnicas de estudio e ideas generales para cambiar la forma de ver el proceso de aprendizaje.
Por otro lado es interesante ver que dentro de las cosas que uno puede lograr como estudiante, es dormir, descansar, buscar otros espacios de aprendizaje y siempre estar dispuesto para aprender.

This should be taught to everyone at High school. I believe I learnt a lesson not only about my capability to learn anything I want, but a lesson that can easily be transferred to many areas of my life. Thanks coursera! I am finding ways to share the principles with my students ... its the least I could do to give someone a chance to succeed in life.

Learn How To Learn is a very awesome MOOC, that contributes to enhancing skills to learn in a more natural way, whatever wanted to learn. It made a bridge between the scientific finds and the normal human being like those of society, whose, ultimately, should always be the goal of any scientific research worldwide.

This course has gave me some insights which I was initially unaware of. Undoubtedly, it is a course that I highly recommend as it has taught me many techniques and useful tips which I can use and apply in the future. Thank you to the lecturers for all your guidance and my peers for providing me with constructive feedbacks to further improve my work!

Short, easy to digest and although much of the information was known to me in some form or another, it is still very helpful to gain understanding as to why I show certain behaviour. I wish I had known about this when doing my degrees, as I am sure I would have had done a better job of engraining much of what I have learned into my long term memory.

My only disappointment with this course is that I haven't take it prior to enter University. I feel like my studies would have been much more efficient and I would have retained much more knowledge from the classes and books! Anyway, this is a wonderful course that has taught me a lot about I could improve my studies and be much better at my career.

This is a great course and I wish something like that was taught in universities, better yet in schools. In fact, I think it's embarrassing that learning techniques aren't a part of official education. The course is presented very well and has tonnes of very useful information for anyone who's trying to overcome procrastination and learn new skills.

This is a really good course. I'm over 50 years old now, with a successful career in science and IT, but even so I wish someone had sat me down when I first started studying and given me these tools. They are non-intuitive but very effective, and I really appreciate the effort from the instructors in passing on this life-changing knowledge for free.

This course should be absolutely mandatory for students looking to further their education past Middle School. The professors present sound and earnest methods of using one's entire mind to his or her advantage. We even learn how to use our disadvantages to our advantage! This is simply a perfect course for learning the finer points of how to learn.

It was very informative and really helpful. I am a serial procrastinator and I found techniques to tackle procrastination very effective. I'm going to apply those techniques in my life.
Moreover, I found the teachers very good in explaining the concepts. I would love to see them teaching more courses here.
Thank you for designing such a cool course!

Excellent course, a 'must' for students or anyone attempting to learn and retain information. I recommend the course and the book, A Mind for Numbers, to students routinely and use some of the information in workshops on study skills and test-taking. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn and retain information more effectively.

It is a great course esp for aspiring students, teachers (who in turn can teach their students) and parents. I wish these things are imparted and drilled in students at a much earlier age. I knew most of these things but by accident and over a long period of time. Brilliant course - you can even download or see all videos in 1 go like a documentary.

Taking this course is an investment on your future. It will help anyone who wishes to learn new skills learn more effectively. Here, you learn how to learn everything else, and I think thats amazing on its own. Im sure my learning problems wont bother me as much as I get more familiar with what Ive picked from here. Its a great course for everyone.

Taking this course (before you take courses in the subject matter that interest you) is a no brainer! I took this course to ensure that I got the most out of the online courses I wanted to take. The concepts and tips presented were easy to grasp and apply. I think this course will have a big impact on my ability to learn and retain new material.

This is an excellent course especially those aspiring to learn more materials. The instructor is knowledgeable and used various forms of teaching styles. She has several interviews with renowned personalities, recommends reading valuable texts by very credible authors. I enjoyed my learning. I would want to develop my class like this in the future.

Amazing course. I'm not currently studying for tests or a degree but found the neuroscientific background and learning strategies extremely interesting and helpful for all kinds of situations where we grapple with new information. And I particularly love the references and further reading suggestions that accompany each module for future reference.

Whether you are a student in a school or in a college, in my opinion, we all are students in this life. To continue producing creative solutions, we need to stay in connection with ourselves by learning. Learning How to Learn has immensely widened my horizons on how capable a human being is towards his/her mental abilities. Totally recommending it!
