The content of the course is very useful and the instructors are very knowledgeable about the process of learning. The examples provided by they instructors are very creative, following the practices they also teach in this course. The course manages to explain in depth how the brain works and how we can use that knowledge to improve our learning processes. The knowledge provided by this course can be used any possible field that you are working or studying or trying to improve in general.

Simply put, this course should be taught in schools. The insights I have gained into how we learn have been astounding. The videos are enaging and fun, all thanks to Barb and Terry's endearing nature. I liked that the science behind why these methods work are explained rather than brushed over or dumbed down like I have seen in other courses.
I am yet to find the degree or subject I would like to master but I do know the techniques taught in this course will play a big part in achieving it.

Perfect. Now I know how the brain works. I understand that procrastination is addiction and you just need to put effort into starting doing something. Just go through bad feel in brain like through the brick wall. Time after time it will be easier to start, because brain will remember rewards that await. Also, it's very important to focus on process, not on the final product. Thank you very much for course authors. Also big thanks for creating such a wonderful MOOC system, coursera admins!

I can't express how much I enjoyed and resonated with this course. I wish I'd had it several years ago when I returned to school to finish my bachelor's degree. It would have made a huge difference. As it is, I'm confident in newfound abilities to study and absorb new skills and subjects as I move forward as a lifelong learner. Bravo, and thanks to the makers for allowing so many of us to audit the full course. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know who begins an educational endeavor.

If there is only one MOOC you can take, this would be it. It is not a theory class, instructors talk about practical methods and explain the science behind them too. In fact, it is one of the most practical courses I have seen. You can use the techniques in your professional and financial life too. If you are interested in becoming better at learning things, just go take the course.
NOTE: Honors section of the course is optional but if you do it, you will learn some really useful things.

A very useful course no matter what stage you are in life. Especially helpful to younger students to save time in their studies. However, this course is also very helpful to people beyond school in more easily pursuing new interests. For example, I'm trying to pick up new skills in my free time, but often procrastinate or feel daunted at the time it will take to pick up these skills. However, this course has helped me learn how to be more efficient with my time and better improve myself.

This course helps us to know more about our brain , how our brain gasp the concept that we study and how can we make our brain remember the things more easily.
It speaks about various techniques like memory palace and others which will help you to increase your memory .
Also by understanding the techniques taught by them and the various facts given by them about our memory and working of brain we can improve the skill of how to learn and make our concepts last for long without cramming.

Loved this course. Its all about the process of learning, rather than the product of learning. The course builds a basic understanding of key principals of neuroscience in order to explain how humans learn, and therefore teaches the pupil how they can more effectively.
Some of the lessons I had heard before, but now I understanding WHY they are so important to apply in learning. Knowing this, I have already changed approaches at work, as well as in my personal learning.
Highly recommended.

Today more than ever, we are facing a huge problem around the world, called COVID-19, thereby, we need a powerful tool for adapting to the increasing rate of change.

Great course. I took it in preparation for returning to Uni to get a Computer Science degree. I have Intuitively known I am a much naturally stronger 'creative' person than say a math person, but It was great to dive Into the deeper science behind It and how I can leverage my existing strengths as well as broaden and deepen my current weaknesses In learning particular subjects. Instructor Is pretty great and I recommend for anyone looking to enhance their learning In all aspects of life.

This course opens mind eyes, refresh my mind, and give me a lot of great and useful technique in approaching, learning and understand new difficult concepts.

This course provides each learner the tool kit to learn subjects that are at times daunting.
Rather than offering platitudes the suggestions are based on sound research.They tap the capacities of the brain after understanding how our brains function.
Having that insight has helped me from getting frustrated when the material is hard to master.
The sections on chunking, memory and procrastination has been of invaluable help.
A deep bow to the creators of the course and to course era.
Thanks

By far the most knowledgeable, engaging, personable and fun course I have taken on 糖心vlog官网观看! Had I encountered a professor in my youth as Dr. Barbara Oakley, who knows how my life would have turned out. It's never too late to learn! This course has taught me that there are various methods of learning at any age, how physical activity plays a part in keeping your mind open to new challenges.
Thank you Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for such a brilliant course.

I completed this course a couple of months ago, and I still bring it up regularly when talking to friends and family. I learned the importance of many concepts, even though I don't put it all into practice (I'm only human). I used the metaphor concept while studying for my genetics final though, and every time I feel like procrastinating I tell myself, "All you have to do is start!". I believe that anyone who takes this class will learn at least one new thing, and I highly recommend it!

I had been wanting to take an online course for a long time. Finally I did it and could not have been more glad that this course was the first one. For me is hard to see value in these free courses but I am very pleased with what I have learned on it. The knowledge acquired on this course can be applied right away on any desired task. It gives you a broad understanding on how our brain works in terms of learning new things. I would highly recommend this course. Health and Peace To All.

I have learned so much from this course. Many details that I was not giving much attention to, now I am taking them into consideration. I have learned about memory and it's ways of working. I found out how to properly learn, how not to waste time. I will use as much as I can from this course in my daily life and I really think everyone can benefit from it. It changes your perspective about the process of learning. And, last but not least, it is very interesting and fun at the same time.

A very usefull and easy-going class to improve your overall learning skills. I must admit that being a person that speaks English not as a mother tongue at first had some problems with understanding, but with the help of subtitles it was quiet easy. I am sure that in future using tips, notions and exercises that i dealt with in this class i can really improve my approach in new subjects no matter what they will be. It suits everyone. Great thanks for people who do such incredible job.

Before doing this course I knew some of the techniques that are mentioned in this course videos but I didn't know the name of the techniques also didn't utilize those techniques on me properly. After finishing I am feeling relaxed and now I can think more clearly about all the techniques I have learned and feel confident. At last, I want to thank Madam Dr. Barbara Oakley, she is a great teacher as well as a humble person who did a lot of hard works to make the course easy to understand.

Amazing course! Some statements I knew from time-management (such as making a task list or Pomodoro technique), but now I understand them 'cause in this course these statements were explained through science. And it's very interesting to learn how our brain works.
Also I was very inspired by all people from interviews, it's a very good option in this course.
Great thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski for this couse and for making me believe in my strength and potential!

This is an amazing course! I highly recommend it to everyone because it can make your studying process easier and your life better. There are many good tips and techniques that you can learn from it. You will be able to understand your mind better and apply useful tools like the Pomodoro technique to combat procrastination or create a "to-do list" before going to sleep. It's an opportunity to discover a new world for yourself. Moreover, you will be able to study without pain! Enjoy it!

This was an excellent course. Each video is short, rarely going beyond 10 minutes, with clear, easy to understand explanations on how the brain works, tips on effective ways to study, as well as ineffective study habits to avoid. There are quizzes to help in retaining and understanding the material, and optional reading and interviews that give further tips beyond the core content. I will be using what I've learned here extensively, and would recommend this course to anyone interested.
