It's a well-structured course which teaches you a lot of things. Even if you are using some of the mentioned techniques, you will find a good category for best-practised learning methods and some meetings with bright people from all over the world. I highly recommend it and don't cram it, apply deliberate practice to have the most benefit of it.

This course is very inspirational and useful with little workload and clear explanation, I recommend everyone taking this course. It may give you a brand new perspective about meta-learning. I also recommend you to view optional readings and interview videos to know how people echoed their experience with the tool kits introduced in this course.

6 months on and I am still using the tools learned in this course: Pomodoro, breaking up learning with a different activity, repetition, etc.

This is a course I intend to review over and over again as it will serve a critical tool for lifelong learning. I believe it should be adapted into a Learning 101 program at the elementary education level.

I really enjoyed this course, the information provided was clear and to the point. My attention was held which i dont find many courses can. I will hopefully remember to put all these new learning's into practice in my everyday life.

I very much appreciate the time and effort gone into making the course and sharing it with me.

Thanks again

As a mental health professional I found this course beneficial in helping me prepare for a secondary graduate degree in neuroscience, and in the work with my clients! The information in this course enabled me (and my clients) overcome obstacles that I didn't think I could.

I highly recommend this course to laypeople and professionals alike.

This course returned the trust in myself to develop future skills, which I never plan to develop and more important - I stopped to afraid to take complicated courses to learn. This course should be in every school as the subject #1. Highly recommend to read the book of Barbara which will only strengthen the received knowledge.

Thank you Barbara!

It has been one of the most useful courses for me. I had already tried some other approaches to improve my learning time and deal with procrastination, through an online material from Stanford, and some other time I tried using pomodoro, but by itself it was not enough help.

However, I find this course was the most useful and interesting for me.

Amazing. So much useful information, so well structures and presented and also keeping a young and happy spirit throughout the materials. (you will understand what I mean)

This course is a really life changer and any person should take this. I warmly recomand to watch also the optional videos to learn from real life examples.

Good luck and enjoy!

Overall, "Learning How to Learn" has been a game-changer for me. I've not only enjoyed exploring its content but also gained substantial insights and techniques that I've already begun implementing in my studies and daily life. It's an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their learning abilities and master challenging subjects.

It's good and refreshing. If it is your first contact with the theme of improving your learning processes it is invaluable resource and opportunity to clean and organise thoughts about these processes. If it's not the first time you think about it, so it's a good manner to put order in the system and have a great example of systematic approach.

I highly recommend taking this course now, I personally have learned a lot of useful things that I think every single learner needs, this course makes me realize that hard-work is not the only thing you need to master anything, but also you need to know the tools that will help you achieve what you want and these tools are found in this course.

Definitely a good course for understanding how we as humans learn; breaking down tips and practices to help with common struggles and issues when you're having a difficult time grasping new information. Puts you at ease that its all too common for us to not always comprehend everything that is presented to us even if it's in a course structure.

The material in this course was well laid out and presented in a simple yet effective fashion. I highly recommend this course for those who feel they struggle with studying, retaining new information, understanding new concepts, solving complex problems, struggle with test taking, or feel inadequate in their general area of studies or learning.

Sometimes we have knowledge that we can't tell where it is from, with this course i could organize and prepare even more for whatever i am studying. The feeling of accomplishment is filling me and since the start i've been sharing with workmates and family about learning how to learn.

It is with grate joy that i rate this course with five stars.

A Wonderful course that really helped me learn a lot about the way we learn and how I can enhance my own learning. It made the entire process very fun and entertaining, which led me to have a greater interest in the subject! Both Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski are amazing teachers, who have truly made this a course worth viewing!

Even though it's been many years since I graduated from college, I found this course very helpful as a reminder on ways to learn effectively. I'm a dedicated life-long learner, and I've signed up for a master's level class at our local university for this upcoming fall semester. I feel this class will help me as I move forward in this endeavor.

Very good course. I was already using some of the techniques shown here. After watching the course I now understand why the thechniques I was already using worked and I also have learned many new ways of improving my learning. The teachers are outstading in their academic fields and the course is held in plain langue so anybody can understand.

The "Learning How to Learning" course at Coursera is an amazing course, extremely useful and I fully recommends for everyone who sees learning as a passion. Did it twice (1st in 2016) and it always helps me on how to organize my mind putting my brain to working in different ways to absorb content from a new studying area as widely as possible.

This course was a perfect way to learn and improve your techiniques on learning, studying and reading better. It also gives us the do's and don'ts while taking exams, along with providing an insight into how unrelated habits like sleeping and exercising, can help us learn better. Thanks to Barbara and Terry for creating this wonderful course.

Agradezco la oportunidad de tomar este curso que me ha ayudado a crecer como un ser humano capaz de aprender cualquier disciplina que desee incursionar. Estoy muy feliz y optimista. Me siento muy bien conmigo misma y quiero seguir aprendiendo y con el deseo de ayudar a otros, especialmente a aquellos que estén dispuestos a aprender a aprender.

It was a very engaging course that I just completed it without any pressure and also enjoyed the new techniques to learn ans master tough subjects not only in academics but also in Life. Barbara Oakley(the instructer) was so nice and educative that it was a fun during this course. Thank you coursera for Providing us this course . Thanks a lot!

An excellent and powerful MOOC, thanks Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski your knowledge about this topic is simply amazing and marvelous!! I learned how to learn in a more productive way and how to use my time wiser,also I learned many things I didn't know about the brain and how it works. Thanks to both of you and thanks Coursera.

I've learned so much from this course. I've recently started implementing the tips and techniques taught in this course in my life and noticed that it has helped me a lot. My respect and gratitude to Dr.Barbara Oakley, Dr.Terrence Sejnowski, and the rest of the Learning How to Learn team for making this course accessible to everyone for free !

Powerful course, it made more aware of my problem with procrastination and taught me ways of fighting it. I wish I knew all these learning techniques from school, maybe my life would have been different now. I enjoyed very much the way Barbara Oakley presented this course, she is an amazing professor and such a sweet lady. Thank you very much!
