I am a more effective learner as a result of this course. It has also, surprisingly, increased my enjoyment while learning. Thanks to Barbara and Terry for a well presented and informative production.

Though this course was meant for students who prepare for exams and tests but I love learning new things so I took up this course. My main problem is procrastination. I am almost 50 yrs old now and I am happy to realize that by understanding the real logic behind procrastination I could work on cues and beliefs. This course has also helped me in guiding students who think they can not learn a particular subject. Interview videos are inspiring. Cheers for Dr.Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski!

Course highly recomendable. Isn't just a course for learn a couple study-techniques but a great explanation of how your brain works in learning any topic. The material in this course will help you to create your own "toolkit" of learning techniques. My best parts were how to deal with Procrastination and the biological factors of learning.
Look at the optional videos, since they invited various high-perfomers that complement with practical advice what you'll learn a long the course.
Happy learning : )

This was the first 糖心vlog官网观看 class that I've ever taken, and I can say with complete honesty that I was thoroughly impressed with the content. I've learned so much, and can not wait to apply these new skills and strategies. Dr. Oakley is an excellent instructor, and her patient, calm demeanor made the videos a joy to watch. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone - no matter your background, skill level, or motivations - take a few weeks to complete "Learning How to Learn." It will change your life.

this class does every thing schools around the country should do for adults and children, making a safe space for people too not be the smartest but letting them know it's not just ok it's expected because you are new and you need to fail a little to grow, and that's what this course is about learning and growing and i have zero, zip, zilch, not a single regret about learning to learn and the wonderful people who taught me. Thank you for helping me and hundreds of thousands more learn how to learn

Really enjoyed this course. Super helpful material that I found useful for COVID brain fog - some great reminders along with context on how the brain engages to learn. Interestingly our neurons grow through engagement with others and exercise, something that seems to have been lessened during the pandemic. Many helpful tips for all types of learning. Videos in course and optional material have positive stories of how individuals have mastered new material, memory and success. Worth the time spent.

Finally, I have completed this one. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand human learning process and wants to take a step further in understanding and learning any subjects or material. Dr. Barbara and Dr. Terrance are awesome presenters, they have created a balance in between general and scientific understanding of human brain. This course has answered my so many question about human leaning experience. I found this course very helpful.. Now, I know what is mean by happy learning..

If you are stuck at any age (and I mean it. It doesn't matter if you are 8 or 80) or feel stagnant in your learning endeavors then take this course. You will have a great time with the instructors. Best of all if you have lots of free time and are scared of taking tests then this course will surely help you through. Or if you cannot comprehend the lessons in class this course will help you understand how you can improve.
Take this course at any stage of your life. Happy learning until we meet again.

Throughout this course, I kept thinking of just how helpful this information would have been in middle school; I also became eager to share my experience with this course and encourage others (especially younger learners) to take it. This course is extremely easy to take, but also incredibly useful in presenting new study techniques, and reinforcing old ones. Although I highly recommend this course for younger learners, the material covered in this course would be beneficial to anyone at any stage.

I have two degrees and have taken several online courses and been a full-time life-long learner. This is one of the best courses I've ever taken. It seems somewhat new in format, more focused on actual learning than any notion of grades, and by the end, thanks to the wonders of the Internet interface, there was a new, or rather several new features in my inner life that I had more or less painlessly learned. I've recommended this to many people, my children have done it; your course is a true gift.

Very helpful methodology for learning based on proven techniques backed by scientific research. Material is presented in a creative and very digestible way. Many of the learning techniques taught are woven into the course, which is ideal! I plan to share this class and the learning techniques I've gleaned with everyone because I think everyone could benefit, regardless of background. This was truly a delight. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for teaching me how to be a better learner!!!

Really enjoyable course full of helpful insights, methods, and tips to improve learning and studying. It鈥檚 all distilled from the latest neurological research as is demonstrated by the extensive further reading and reference lists. I wish I鈥檇 had the benefit of this course when I was a younger student at university. I especially liked the material about how to overcome procrastination and illusions of competence. I鈥檝e now adopted lots of the methods and practises into my daily and weekly routines.

Thank you for teaching this critical course. It helps me better understand scientifically from neuro perspective how our brain functions and reacts. I was able to apply the ideas in this course such as habit development and procrastination to my own life and better adjust and notice my own behaviors. By sharing this course and the concept in the course with my friend allow me to better understand the ideas taught. Thanks again for sharing such a crucial mooc course that everyone can benefit from.

I benefit from this course as it helped me with other online and offline courses. After I know how my brain works, I learn more efficiently than before without sacrificing the time for rest and sleep. I recommended this course to many of my friends and I recommend it here to people who don't want to give up learning - if you are considering about other courses on coursera and don't know if you can complete them, try this course first. It can be a good one to start and it will help you with others.

When I started the course I had no expectations and I expected it to be just another super technical course or with ideas that seem far from most people's reality but I was surprised in the first videos. Professor Barbara Oakley and Professor Dr. Terrence Sejnowski explain in an intelligible way for the average audience with simple and applicable techniques, classes so captivating that it made me want the course to be even bigger. Sincerely, thank you for sharing this wonderful knowledge with us.

I have to say "Wow" for the experience i got by joining this course. First i didn't expect a lot when I enrolled then I was amazed by the so many useful tips I got from it. No wonder this course being recommended by students. Both Professor Barbara Oakley and Professor Terrence Sejnowski deliver very useful information for anyone who want to upgrade their learning skill. The way they present this MOOC is also incredible. It is simple, not boring, funny, and of course easy to understand. Good job.

As mentioned, this course is all about learning what we already learnt. Probably, our parents or seniors or elder had already told us to do. Somethings adopted and somethings not. However this course teaches the principles behind what they taught to us. After knowing the principles and science behind the teaching, the teaching becomes all very authentic and somewhere integrates all the memory chunks. While the study material was scientific however good care was taken to present it in simple way.

This is one of those rare courses which helped me in giving the tools to learn effectively. Honestly speaking I didn't know about Pomodoro, chunking, interleaving, deliberate practice and neuro-chemicals' role until I completed the course. Thank you Barbara and Terry for making me fall in love with learning again in my mid-life. Great Job. Your crisp presentation and pace of delivery should be emulated by anyone who intends to teach online. Love you and hope to have more courses from you shortly.

As someone who has struggled to overcome imposter syndrome due to dyslexia, this course has some excellent techniques that have been able to help me gain confidence in my ability to learn complex things and how to deepen my recall. Learners of all ages would benefit from the topics in this course. Barbara Oakley has an evident passion that comes through for wanting to help learners not only change their mindset but also to help create successful learning outcomes. A+ course. Highly recommend!

An excellent course that everyone can benefit from. We are all always learning new things in life. The technics covered in 'Learning How to Learn' course on 糖心vlog官网观看 by Drs. Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski can help anyone improve the way they grasp new information and commit it to memory. I personally enjoyed taking this course and it has had an immense impact on my own learning already and I can't even begin to imagine how much it will accelerate my learning in the future in any other space.

I found this course extremely informative. I really enjoyed Barbara's slides as they were particularly easy to understand and follow. I found that the other Professor relied too heavily on the notes he was reading, avoided eye-contact in parts, and didn't have the flow of Barbara. Obviously an extremely clever gentleman however I thought it was worth mentioning. Really pleased to be able to take such a quality course for free so a big thanks goes to 糖心vlog官网观看 but more so, McMaster University.

Great teachers, great course, thank you! I've learnt a lot and really enjoyed watching all the videos and learning about how our brain works and getting very useful tools to help me learn more efficiently. I highly recommend this very interactive course to anyone willing to learn how to manage their time better, be more productive in the way they study, be more confident in their capacity to learn anything new.
A very big thank you to all the people who contributed to the creation of this course.

This course was very helpful to me, it showed me a lot of new approaches, and also showed me to take my Engineering experience and apply it to studying they way I would approach an engineering project. It also helped me to calm down about that I'm not the only one with some of the problems mentioned in the course. What I also found interesting where the examples of the people true history and who overcame their problems this was very inspiring. thank you very much ! Hans Van der Veken (Belgium)

The course was well paced and structured, allowing anyone, even someone quite busy with other distractions, to manage. There is a wealth of material to focus on, but as the course points out, it is the time you "meditate, sleep and exercise" around what you are learning that allows your defused thinking to store the gems of information away to be used for a lifetime. Great resources too, and both Terry and Barbara were quietly advocates for never being careless about learning. Thank you both.

Good course. I definitely feel as if I've improved my learning skills. I wish I'd had a course like this when I was at school - I'm sure I would have done much better (I wasn't too bad, but I wasn't the best either). I think it's also useful for older people like me (40+) because I can still apply this to lots of areas of life and, as the course explains, we can carry on learning throughout life so there's every reason to do this. I might use the information I've learned here to change careers.
