Love this course! So easy to follow and do - with bite sized videos and tests. Really helped me appraoch my masters with confidence when I returned to university studies after 25 years. Thank you, Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski!

This course opened my eyes on how I was learning wrong and how to correct it, I can't recommend it enough, if I had to summarize my experience with it I can safely say it was life changing. Thank you so much, Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

I totally enjoyed this course. I have learnt a lot of things that I will use in my further education efforts and I also help other people incorporate some of the methods from this course as well. Thank you so much for this wonderful course

Thank you so much!!! Very interesting and helpfull, I can certainly practice these techniques when i study! Pomodoros helped me a lot with procrastination. Barb and Terry, you are excellent tutors, thanks again for sharing the knowledge!!!

This is an excellent course. I have learned many incredible and easy tools that I can put into practice in my own learning. I recommend this course to those people who are really interested in getting better as learners. Thank you so much.

This course has transformed me. I feel much more confident in my abilities, I take coding courses more boldly, I change my procrastinating habits for useful ones, and I enjoy the fact that I have something to strive for. Thank you so much!

IMO this is an awesome course. I probably only remember 10% of the things I would like to remember, but that will make me a much better student than I was before. Special thanks to the 2 Instructors and to everyone involved in this course!

Obsessed! These learnings are appliable to everything and anything and will only bring progression in one's life if applying. I appreciate the awesome learnings, growth and especially free class. Thanks for making learning super fun again.

Very interesting, and more importantly, helpful course that shows you how to learn and really internalise new things. It also provides insights into how your brain works and how to tackle procrastination. Recommended not only for students.

The topics presented would be very helpful for learners of any age and at any stage of their life. Further, the way the lessons were presented was very easy to follow and helped me better understand the concepts they were trying to relay.

Awesome! It was super useful for me. I realized things about my own head I could not imagine. And reevaluated my memory, that turned out to be pretty good. Everything works better, when you “read the instructions”.

I recommend this course!

I really learned a lot in this course. Thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley

In fact, I strongly suggest this course to be included in the school curriculum. From the start the student will know how to study effectively. The results will be awesome.

This course really helped me remember what I've known before and gave me a lot of insights at the same time. I'm definitely a different person now with a better understanding of how my brain works. Thank you a LOT for your tremendous work.

Every learner and teacher will benefit from this course. The presentation is clear and fun, and you feel as if it is a real classroom setting. All concepts are backed by science, but the explanation is very simple for anyone to understand.

Love the material and the way the whole course was build. What is profondly helpful is how the neuroscience that is used and put foward as to why such ways of learning are more efficient. Thank you to the whole team for making this course.

I wish i knew about this course when i was in university , or even before that, when i was in school. A mandatory course for all teachers, learners, and new starters !! thank you Coursera and Dr. Barbara Oakley, and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski.

I enjoyed taking this course I got a lot out of it and will use a lot of the techniques in future tests and other challenges to come and will teach it to my child when the time comes for him to endeavor in stressful test taking situations.

This course is definitely a must for all those involved in education. As an eternal student, I find it incredibly useful to anyone who wishes to have a better understanding of how our brains work and how we can make learning more effective

There is so much good material here. This is a course I went through carefully and thoroughly. I enjoyed watching the videos multiple times and reading the transcripts. The optional readings and interviews are well worth it. Excellent!

This course was very easy to follow and provided me with some effective tools which has already helped me with my everyday tasks in my job. Dr. Oakleys passion for learning made the different learning topics very interesting and humorous.

It's a pretty neat course, definitely couples well with the current book I'm reading, "How We Learn". I really enjoyed how each section wasn't filled with too much content to complete in one week, they know how to space out their material.
