I found this course to be incredibly helpful. I am 33 and wish that I would have been taught a more efficient way of learning many years ago. There are definitely some great takeaways from this class.

This course accumulates a clear and valuable set of thoughts that structure knowledge about learning principles and tactics. Also, it was interesting to know some new things about how the brain works.

Before completing this course, I had struggled with my studying because I did not know how to digest all the knowledge and information effectively. But through each session, I gradually get a hold of how to chunk the information, how to link them together and use them in the test effectively. I highly recommend this course.

This course is very practical and the knowledge gained is balanced by plenty of opportunities to work things out and actually use them. I highly recommend this course for everybody! I've passed on a link to this course to my son, if that tells you anything about the degree to which I believe this course is just plain GREAT!

This course is enlightening . I learned things about how my own brain works that I would have never come up with on my own. I imagine tha I will benefit greatly from this course in my further studying.
I recommend this course for anyone who ahs issues with test taking or wants to get even better results on their test taking.

If you've ever struggled in a subject, I highly suggest taking this course. Dr. Oakley helps to guide you into being the best learner you can be. There are also several interviews by professionals who talk about the brain or their own experiences with training their brain in order to learn a difficult subject.

If you want to learn anything better, if you want to help your kids succeed in school teach them how learn with this course.

Found this MOOC, and Mindshift while searching for an intro to computer science MOOC. Couldn't be more happy I took it. Absolutely take this class, everyone. The topics, and lessons are well worth everyone's time and attention. Even if you already think you know how to learn. Much food for thought in this one. Peace.

This is an amazing course on learning techniques, explained bite-sized.
The course material, the instructors, the sequence of lessons, the clarity of the videos, the supplementary content is worthy of appreciation.

The professors (specially Barbara Oakley) are really charismatic and didatic, they can make you pay attention and understand complex concepts in a very simple way.

Great course - I understood that all the difficulties in my previous studying was connected to not knowing certain techniques. Learning can be fullfilling and lifechanging experience, great joy but also can be struggle - this course will help those who want to constantly learning and not for grades but for some higher goal

This course was very interesting, informative, fun and all the presentations were nicely filmed, it was a pleasure to listen Barbara about procrastination and memory.
I will definitely use all of the advices that I heard in this course. Sometimes we just need to hear something we might already know - to use it in real life.

Very good course, I enjoyed it. In a playful and "light" atmosphere, you get in touch with concepts about your brain and its way of working - ideas that took years of studying and thinking from very smart people.
Get these ideas to work in your benefit and test them in your own "laboratory of thoughts", then get productive!

Funamentally mind-changing! I loved this course because it opened my eyes to how I could study and learn new subjects. Now, instead of shirking away from somewhat daunting new subjects like coding or finance, I can finally learn with confidence knowing I will come away knowing more and understanding more about the subject.

Very very helpful. Everyone should take this course! We often work very hard on subjects but we lack the technique to learn something new so we tend to leave it imcomplete or complete it with not much satisfaction. This course teaches us how to utilize every single minute of your hard work and that too in a positive sense.

Very helpful, useful. Well organized, concise, eye-opening. The vids did not have annoying "fluff/fillers" that drained my time. They were well made, thoughtful and lean, and the presenters weren't "salesy" nor "hyping." The length and content of the vids were also bite-size, so I did not have difficulty staying on track.

such a wholesome course! really grew fond of the teachers. would 100% take another course taught by them. i definitely learned new skills on learning and was validated by the teachers every time they mentioned a strategy i already used and others belittled. the small chunks of videos really helped my learning go smoothly.

Achei 贸timo, uma boa maneira de entender como aprender de uma maneira mais eficiente e concisa. O come莽o e meio do curso foca muito em como o c茅rebro funciona, enquanto a parte final em como usar isso tudo para se sair bem em provas. O que de forma geral da uma boa base para usar em diferentes aspectos da vida. Excelente!
