This course is incredible. It really changed the way I used to think about learning and the mind. 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. I am very grateful to have had this course, thank you so much!

A lot of thanks to Barbara Oakley and her colleagues! I think this course is essential for everybody. I wish I had known all these technics when I was a student. It helps me to be more effective in my work performance (I can handle procrastination and frustration) and my everyday life. I feel more fulfilled and confident.

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

Amazing course with lots of useful strategies and approaches in learning. Teaches effective ways to memorize, avoid procrastination, & perform well on tests. The lectures are interesting and stimulating & the instructors do a great job emphasizing key concepts repeatedly in order for viewers to properly retain those ideas.

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!

This course tells us and reiterates the simple mistakes we make while learning. Although a grown-up individual will know these techniques back of his/her mind, this course emphasizes how we all have been doing things wrong for many years. Its a short but valuable course is recommended to anyone willing to improve oneself.

Naturally we all learn daily basic, however to see the real process behind learning you must take this course. As instructors says, this course is manual for learning how to learn. When you read and understand manual you can control a equipment, likewise when you know the learning manual you can control your own learning

After learning this course, I had some mental tricks and some useful knowledge to help me learn better at my subjects. It's even more beneficial since I'm changing to a new major, and I'm so overwhelmed at first. However, this course calm me down and make me realize I can learn anything if I know how to learn efficiently

A distinctive course I advise everyone to enrol in. It covers most aspects of the learning process, as it is useful from the academic point of view and also from the process. It does not matter your educational level or the type of your professional career. Guaranteed benefit, a course that will show you the way to learn
