This class feels basic, but it hold deep truths about how to be a better learner and it provides great research you can go deeper into on your own. Excellent instruction, you get out what you put in.

This course was quite insightful and well-balanced. I think the best indication of its good quality is that you can see some of the concepts they are presenting in this course being incorporated in it, which brings you one step closer to using those in your life because you've tried them and you know they're really working. Thanks for all the wonderful materials!

Useful and well presented.
Well presented: The teachers of this course clearly have taken a lot of time to lay out and present the material in a clear and accessible way. Thanks!!
Useful: should've learned this stuff 30 years ago. It'd have made my learning process much more efficient and effective. Ah well - at least I can use it in the upcoming 50 years still :-)

An absolutely brilliant course. I recommend it to anyone that's ever been interested in understanding how to learn things. Examples, tools and techniques in the course are applicable in real life and something you might find yourself using more than you thought you would. I definitely learned a lot from this course and so would you if you took it. Happy learning!

I applied it to my work, the principles really worked for me, key topics that I've learned: pomodoro technique, how to use focused mode when studying, train your brain to fight procrastination, focus on the process, not on the product and most importantly don't fool yourself. I want to thank all the professors and professional that made this life-changing course.

A course that all students should take to gain or remind themselves of important learning and retention techniques. Too often, I find myself and others studying for an objective (like grade) rather than actually learning the material. The only critique I have is that the course feels a bit old fashioned. A more modern remake would improve it but is not necessary.

espectacular conocer todas las funciones del cerebro en cuanto a la forma de aprender y aprender a utilizarlo, la t茅cnica del pomodora es muy simple pero efectiva, la mente difusa no sabia que era tan poderosa y la estoy usando mucho, tome muchas notas y las voy a releer para aprender cada vez mas y se las voy a ense帽ar a mi hija, gracias por tan excelente curso.

I was very impressed with the content of this course. Not only was the information within your course/ frequent mini tests great but the optional videos featuring greats from around the world were enlightening. Thank you! From this day forward I will look at learning completely different. I appreciate you giving me the tools to help me become more successful.

This course is distinguished and much helpful for me to keep control my self and conquer the procrastination in learning difficult courses or tasks. The teachers give us both nearest neural research results and fruitful, easy-understanding examples. Moreover, retrieval quiz after every week study makes me focus on the keynotes. Thanks for keep me in perspective!

This class was extremely helpful with teaching some of the most basic learning skills we never learned growing up. We've all been put in school and told to go learn but we were never taught how to learn! Thanks to both the professors avid input and tips on tackling tough material, I now feel much more confident heading into any type of course of program of study.

With each new week I am consistently impressed with the content, thoroughness and thoughtfulness behind each lecture video, additional material and quiz.
This is invaluable, and easily applicable material that I wish I had learnt when I was a college freshman.. Better late than never I suppose. Thank You Barbara and co for putting this excellent course together.

I absolutely enjoyed this class. The way Barbara Oakley explains everything so well and humourous is unique. Not only my learning strategies are more effective now but I also have even more leisure time even in exam periods. I also liked the way Dr. Terrence Sejnowski is combining science so well with our everyday lives. I definetly recommend this course to you,

LHTL, i would never forget how valuable the lessons in this course are. It greatly improved how I learn. No regrets in starting my MOOC journey with this fun course. I also find the pomodoro technique a very useful tool not only in learning but also in accomplishing any task. Kudos to the team for making a very complex idea about a brain subject very digestable!

This is a brilliant course no matter what stage you're at in your learning experience or what age you are. It strengthens key learning techniques, gives you new techniques to learn better and to overcome certain fears and anxiety associated with learning and finally also debunks certain wrong beliefs or learning methodologies that lead to illusion of competence.

The knowledge and techniques are very helpful for me to review my conditions and performance. It gives a scientific point of view and well explained what's going on with both your mental and physical conditions. This course should be strongly suggested those who would like to learn effectively. Thanks for the instructors Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski. Great work!

I think this is not only the most exceting course when you are taking it but also the most important course because It prepares and equipes you to learn any kind of courses or disciplines without fustracting and content yourself to apply the techniques and tools found by experts!!
I can garantuee your success in your learning journey after finishing this course!!

A really important course for everyone to take. It was really lovely to finally have formal instruction how to learn. I know for a fact that I could re-take this course several times and still learn a tonne from it, a course like this can be a game changer, of course of the lessons learned from it are applied to ones academic or non academic learning endeavours.

I have loved this course. It is a very useful lecture where I have learn how to improve dramatically the way I was studying English language. The "Pomodore" technic, and the app Barbara spoke answering to a student, is very useful. besides, following what I learned in this course I have increased the amount of hours and I am much more focused in what I am doing.

Very interesting, with lots of valuable information presented in the easiest way possible. They are very clear, eloquent and direct. Thank you so much for sharing all those life-changing informations. Looking foward to share them with other people.
PS: I also just shared this course with some of my students, hopefully they'll also come here to learn how to learn

The content of this class was fantastic, I enjoy the methodology and pedagogy of it, the examples, the zoombies, everything. My only feedback is to not only interview the brilliant minds of men, but also women. 98% of the interviews were done to men. I am pretty sure there are brilliant women out there that could provide smart and wonderful tips about learning.

Honestly, I think that this is such a powerful, useful, and beneficial course to take! It really does open your mind and educate you about how to properly learn. They do not only teach you about what you might be doing wrong, but they provide you with solutions and techniques to correct the way you learn! It is such an easy course and I definitely recommend it!

Great course for creating a solid mental model on learning how to learn. I am learning how to program, and never got a good education in how to learn math and science topics. I thought the course was great in explaining concepts in an unfolding way that allowed me to remember what was taught. I also appreciated the book recommendations, articles and interviews.
