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 is my first course at coursera platform and I enjoyed it. I've had the best experience of moocs learning and I loved the recall testing strategy which I found most helpful throughout the course.

it is really a helpful course for me. Learning new subjects effectively and change the leaning materials to long term memory is important in working environment, I think the requirement is not just limited the test in college. Grasping the learning skills and raise the good learning habits is benefit for life

This course has alot of valuable information in it. I was studying memory prior to this and had learned many of the techniques before this course but Learning How to Learn is still and great first step. I'm glad I worked this course and I look forward to building on this foundation with more Coursera courses.

A very well planned course. The videos are short, yet substantial and with very solid science behind. The whole structure of the program is a very good example of how to design an on-line course. I found it incredibly useful both for myself and for designing courses for my University. Very highly recommended.

I never knew I needed a learning reform! After enrolling in this course, I realized that there is something more to learning- it's not just coffee and long evenings. Overall, this course helped me a lot in my academic pursuit of attaining knowledge and internalizing its underlying concepts. Thank you so much.

I can't tell how much I enjoyed the course and the virtual meetings with Prof. Barbara Oakly and Prof. Terrence Sejnowski. With all the wisdom and inspiration they shared I am even a happier life-long learner now. What I can give in return is a wholehearted gratitude. This has been a fantastic course indeed!

I was a bad learner all my life and signed up for the course for some useful advices and practices. What I obtained is much more. It is not only about learning methods but also about practices that I can use in my work and private life. The learning materials and tests are very enjoyable. Thank you very much!

As someone who doesn't have the time for a formal education, I try to learn through my everyday experiences, no matter how ordinary or monotonous they may appear. This course opened my eyes to tips and tricks to make the best of my learning, regardless of the task I happen to be involved in. Thanks for the h

¡Excelente! El curso es realmente práctico, completamente actual y recomendable para cualquier estudiante, incluidos los autodidactas. La Dra. Oakley es amena, clara e informada en sus explicaciones. El Dr. Sejnowski acompaña las lecciones y el material optativo es útil y necesario. Imperdible, y es gratuito.

This is an awesome course that might remind you of living and working differently. The materials are well organized in a structured way that is very easy to follow - focus/diffuse mode, pomodoro technique, chunking, memory palace, etc. All these will lead to a fulfilling life if you take the course seriously.

In fact, I can't describe how useful this role is. Thank you Barbara, Dr. Signovsky, all the participants and Coursera. In fact, I was leaving high school. It is difficult in my country, but after finishing the course, I decided to return to complete my education and get the certificate. Thank you very much.

A wonderful course especially as I'm a adult learner with bad study habits and no tools! This course has given me new tools to learn better in the future. This course has given me the confidence to tackle any subject with new perspective. Great tutors, fantastic course material and so much more! Thank You :)

Thank you for these great tips. I took notes about a lot of stuff, and that course helped me to focus more on my online courses and how to study for them. I really enjoyed watching Dr Barbara's videos and the animation in them, as well as listening to Dr Terry's wide knowledge. Thank you so much. Stay safe!!

Powerful learning methods, relevant examples, and well-documented studies. I enjoyed leasing to the professors and as well to their special guests. I recommend this course to students and people like me who want to learn something new and are interested in the best way to use their memory and brain capacity.

Really, really enjoyed this course! Each topic was well presented and explained and I loved all the metaphors used. All throughout the course I kept wishing I learned all of this back when I was in high school - would have definitely helped a lot to curb my unhealthy (and inefficient) study habits back then.

Excepcional!! Curso muy ameno y divertido, en donde la Dra. Oakley y el Dr. Sejnowski, te presentan una guía básica sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro, algunas de sus funciones, trucos, consejos... durante el proceso de aprendizaje. Curso que en si, considero que debería cursar todo el mundo.
Muchas Gracias!

This course is very helpful in terms of discovering effective methods of learning (the ones you maybe use at the moment and ones you have never heard of). While taking this course you learn many things about yourself as a person and gives you, as it gave to me, motivation to take new self-learning endeavors!

The Coursera course, "Learning How to Learn", was an informative and interesting class that helped me gain a deeper understanding of study methods. I was able to reflect on my own study habits and identify which study habits of mine were ineffective. I highly recommend this course for all levels of learners!

A must !
Unfortunately the modern educational system ( most of the time in many countries ) is counter-productive.
A must-to-take course for students in order to learn better and release anxiety
Also important for teachers so they can bring the best of their teaching experience to students, based on this course

I am glad that I decided to participate in this course. I have learnt quite a lot and have realized the errors I have committed in learning. I would review the videos even after I've finished this course until the ideas really ingrained in my psyche and really practice what I have learnt here in this course.
