This course is perfect for anyone looking to improve their learning skills. It provides learners with the necessary tools to efficiently tackle difficult subjects. Through engaging lectures, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of how their brains process information, and learn how to optimize their learning experience.

I hadn't attempted to learn anything for >20yrs years and this course was a fantastic start. I'm now doing well in 3rd year Civil Engineering and still often utilize concepts learned in this course. I think it could be useful for many areas of study. Also, this course was much better structured than some MOOC's that I've come across.

I loved this class. I am planning on going back to the videos and refresh as needed. I wish I had learned this a long time ago. It teaches the tools to become a better learner. I also want to add that as a parent of small children, I want to pass this knowledge along to them so they can develop better study skills early on. Thank you!

As a BA, MS, DO, and more certificate holder person, this course really helped me to understand how I learned, how I can continue to learn in a better way, and how to structure my presentations for other adults to learn. Highly recommended to understand and make actionable advances in neuropsychology.

This was worth my time invested.

Coursera's Learning How to Learn class provided me insight into how to learn more efficiently, and what I was doing that simply doesn't work. Additionally, the explanation of why people procrastinate and how to work through it made the course invaluable, not only to studies but in my career as a software developer. Highly recommended.

This course is amazing. I really enjoyed pursuing it and I am a bit sad I didn't know this before starting my high school, or at least before I finished my college.

However, I am happy that now I know these techniques and hopefully through deliberate practice I will perfect them in my daily routine and rock everything I want to learn!

Truly wonderful course on learning techniques on the process of learning. I definitely wish I took a class like this in high school or college before graduating!!! I will take a lot of techniques and ideas learned in this class with me into future endeavors as I attempt to change careers!! Thank you so much Barbara!! You're a gem!! <3

Excellent course! it really changed me the way i study and the way i see how the brain works!

Been using some of the techniques since then and i'm developing new study habits that are starting to generate results really fast!. This course also woke the motivation to start new things, like a new language!

this is MOOC is a must to anyone

I was very excited when I learned about the existence of this course, so I decided to take it. I must say it beat my expectations, not only because of the useful tips (some of which I was already applying unconsciously, but others I introduced in my daily routines), but also because of the clarity with which the materials are exposed.

This was one of the first MOOC's I actually completed because the content was so compelling and Barbara Oakley is such a wonderful teacher! She made everything really fun and interesting and made me want to keep coming back to watch her videos. Highly recommended for ANY student or people interested in the study of learning/education.

A very good course offering many tools, always in the framework of the latest knowledge about the human brain. A lot of relevant tests greatly make it easier "understanding" and "memorization".

A subject that anyone should have made his own!

Many thanks to Barbara and Terry for their always very clear and well structured presentation.

A great, concise course on how to "hack your brain" to become a better learner.

If you are enrolled in any form of academic institution, the contents of this course are essential. And even if you are not in college or school at the moment, this class has excellent pointers on the whys and hows of life-long learning.

Highly recommended!

Almost done with this course. It is already helping me understand how to learn. Very useful practical information. I hope that this course will be opened up as an on demand. I would love to share it with others. I think this is knowledge that everyone should acquire. Thank you for taking time to make this course and offer it for free.

What a fantastic course! There were many things I found I had naturally did, without realizing they were optimal learning techniques - but there were plenty more techniques within the course that I wish I had learned sooner. Better late than never though. Dr. Barbara & Dr. Terry, thanks so much for putting this great course together!

I'm really get benefited from this course. The explanations and the lectures was smooth and understandable. I have got a key concepts and ideas that will help me a lot the future. Worthy to know that I will get back into this course again for two reasons: I love barabra oakly and to see the course with other perspective and thinking.

After a few years of knowing about this course and putting it off from time to time I finally buckled down all the way through! The initial anxiety went away and curiosity took it's place with each new concept, interview and article the professor provided, thank you so much for your teaching I hope to sharpen my newly aquired skills.

I wish I could have had this material taught to me before middle school or at least before high school. It would be great to include this course in the first semester of college. Everyone in the world should learn this, but mainly everyone dedicated to furthering their education should take this couse. It has powerful learning tools.

I think this class is well done. It is simply put together and simple is the fastest way forward. I applaud Barbara Oakley and look forward to reading her books and hearing more from her. I have shared what I have learned with my high school student and encourage high school, higher education and life students to take this course.

I am blessed for having the opportunity to study and participate in this Course. I am not the same students because I know I can do all things through Christ, I have learned many techniques I didn't know before, also gained knowledge of how my brain works, and I learn from so many interesting people and their testimonies.

Thank you!

I wish if I went through this course at the beginning of my University life. But no problem with that. I am sure this course has changed my way of learning. From now on I will learn more effectively and efficiently than earlier. I didn't actually know how sleep affects our learning. Thanks a lot to the instructors and coursera team.

Pienso que es un curso indispensable, motivante y entretenido, para las personas que gusten aprender y también deberia ser obligatorio en el primer semestre de cualquier carrera universitaria. Sería interesante hacer una adaptación para primaria, si es que no existe ya. Me divertí y sentí ganas de leer cada sugerencia. Muchas gracias

I learnt learning processes and new techniques that I will apply in the future. The video and concepts are very well explained by Barbara Oakley, the examples given were easy to understand and relate to.

The quizzes were helpful in recalling the information learnt, overall I recommend the course to those who never learnt how to learn!

This is a very informative course, introducing you to a bit of neuroscience to back the information with scientific evidences and it is introduced in a way everybody could understand. It is really a course I can recommend to everyone wanting to have more efficient ways of learning and looking for scientific backings for those habits.

This course is for anyone trying to learn a new skill set as well as improve ones current position in life in general. For anyone trying to jump start TRUE change in your life it takes HARD WORK and DEDICATION. The tools learnt in this course can be applied in any circumstance the question is are you willing to try them for yourself.

This course may have changed my life and how I learn for ever.

I'm very thankful to the creators and ppl that made it possible. This was my first MOOC but certainly not my last and I think it's a good set up for the courses to come.

Thank you for letting me learn how to learn (for free(!)) since german education doesn't teach you that.
