I really like it. It's pretty scientific in explaining how things work and I really enjoy that aspect of the course. I must admit that I was looking for some solid techniques, and it does have them, the surprising part it that it goes deeper into how things work in your mind which makes it quite enjoyable for me :)

Learning how to learn provided a wide array of useful study information. The material was well organized with each unit building on the previous subject. This course is a great refresher for students who have taken a break from coursework or anyone that desires better retention of information. Highly Recommend.

Fascinating concepts. You think you know how to learn but this explains a lot of great core concepts to make learning more efficient and effective, which I love. Gives you the foundation of learning to be able to tackle other things on this site and that is why I choose this to be the 1st class I completed here.

Simple, smooth and covers various ideas related to learning: the process of learning from a neurological perspective, bad studying habits, interviews and advises from experienced figures, test taking tips... It actually was so rich and much more than what I had expected! I strongly recommend it to every learner :)

So glad to be studying this course. I am very grateful to the prolific materials this course provided. All interviews provided new ways and thoughts about everyday life. Finally finished my first course on Coursera, I hope more to come thanks to all the studying methods. Thank you again and wish you all the best!

This course has definitely made me think introspectively at how best I learn as well as the many valuable items to use to better learn and understand the subjects that I both enjoy learning as well as those that I did not enjoy from the past.
I look forward to continue my learning through the many Coursera courses.

Wonderful course that explains the neuroscience of how to learn successfully regardless of the subject. It supplies different methods along with the science and data to back it up. The interviews were insightful as it allowed you see how passionate some of the experts. I learned a lot and plan to keep on learning!

I love this course, I´m into learning& teaching & neuroscience in education,then this course was really helpful to counterbalance my previous knowledge of the topic.It is really good if you want to learn how to study better and at the same time to undertand how to take advantage of our different modes of thinking.

Very useful course with great optional readings and interviews to supplement your material. Core knowledge is good enough too but that little bit of extra really helps. This is stuff I'll definitely be using years from now so I'm glad I took this course as it'll affect pretty much everything I do from here on out.

As a psychology major I was already familiar with most materials covered by the course before I took it, but Dr. Oakley did a wonderful job by making everything so approachable and attractive as well as creating a really friendly learning atmosphere. Definitely I will come back to these videos again in the future.

It was well-worth taking this course. It has shown the foundations of effective and stressless learning process. Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski proved that it is vital to focus on studying process, not on the product of the studies. Only this way we can further proceed in our educational and professional lives. 10/10.

It was a very meaningful experience. From the beginning I started to learn and apply the many ideas that the course bring to me. I liked the way that the instructors made easy to learn so complex concepts. The strategies and exercises are excellent and challenging, I am going to apply them for the rest of my life.

I would strongly recommend this course to each and every individual who would like to improve their learning techniques and increase the LTM capacity. It clearly states all techniques to attain the desired outcome by making us understand how our brain functions rather than simply focusing on the techniques itself.

I've learnt so much about study techniques that work and the ones that don't. I was able to identify with most of the methods that does not work as it were methods that I personally used. I am eager to start learning other courses and applying what I've learnt in this course to see how my study habits would have i

Fantastic course to understand how well we can make use of various techniques, avoid obstacles to learn any topic. It also deals with the power of human brain. surely these techniques will help build the self-confidence of an individual when they are able to concentrate and make the best use of the mental agility.

A detailed, knowledgeable and generally awesome free course which really helps you to understand what goes on behind the scenes when learning and how you can be a more effective learner.

Very useful, powerful and practical techniques to help you get better at learning, including some counter-intuitive approaches that you probably wouldn't have been able to figure out by yourself. Barbara and Terry are wonderful course instructors, and their approach really help me understand much of the material.

It was immensely helpful to have such a wider perspective on the topic. There were many aspects that was quite new to me. Earlier I had the fear of learning harder topics but this course gave me confidence to try a totally different way of looking into problems and simultaneously grasping harder items. Thank you.

The course has changed my mentality. It isn't so focus on the act of learning itself, but instead give useful tips to less procrastinate, be more efficient, how to retain information better etc.
It is well structured, and I think that it is more impactful than watching bunch a self improvment videos on Youtube :)
