Un curso muy interesante. Donde podemos encontrar formas m谩s 贸ptimas y efectivas para estudiar, como tambi茅n para lidiar con la procrastinaci贸n. Me gustaron mucho las entrevistas realizadas a profesionales de diversos sectores. El curso presenta el tipo de herramientas que todos desear铆amos haber tenido previo a entrar en la universidad.

This is a life changing course. The course is loaded with important knowledge and tips, so you need to pay attention to every word. The number 1 benefit I got from this course is knowing the spaced repetition and Anki application, and they helped me a lot in improving my learning and my mind in general. Don't hesitate to take this course

Very helpful techniques to make sure you're making the most of your learning time - study/learn for the same amount of time, but getting more out of it. It addresses things like how to make sure you actually know the material (rather than the illusion of competence), handling procrastination, and making sure you gain long term retention.

An excellent course for learning new study tips and new ways of thinking about learning. The course provides lots of insight into how we learn and how we can use this knowledge to maximize our learning. The ideas taught in the course are backed by real neuroscience and help give you an understanding of how your brain works when learning.

After learning this course, I found out about various ways to improve my learning process and successfully implemented in my own learning. Some of the learning methods were already familiar, but I was always hesitant to adopt them. Barbara has a knack in convincing people to give these methods a go by outlining how they might be helpful.

Llevo 4 a帽os ya en la universidad y he aprendido a aprender por ensayo y error, aun as铆 no he logrado el nivel de calidad de estas poderosas herramientas que el curso me da. Hubiera deseado que me las hayan ense帽ado mucho antes pero bueno ya las aprend铆 y es momento de utilizarlas para el resto de mi vida tanto profesional como personal.

The modules and lessons are intuitive and easy to follow through. Overall, I learned so much about not only the brain facts and proven study techniques but also my own mind and study habits. It's an amazing course and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and classmates, or to anyone who are determined to improve their learning.

Sometimes we don't even know how to utilise our own brain to learn things effectively. This course is a must for everyone who wants to sharpen their memory and learn something new. Using the methods like Pomodoro Technique, Illusion of Competence, Diffused and Focused Mode thinking have helped me in learning and recalling things easily.

Really like the concepts and biological reason behind why I was suffering from learning effectively.
This course really helped me to bring my perspective towards small- small things I was doing wrong.
But now I believe that I will work more efficiently in any sort of learning fields.
Thank You, Barb Oakley for teaching "Learn How To Learn"

By far the best course on here...regardless of the discipline. Not only are the professors insightful and enthusiastic but this course structured in a way to maximize your potential to learn the material. This course isn't full of 25 min lectures of a professor talking in front of a green screen. It's interactive and engaging material.

This is the first online Course I麓m able to finish. It麓s an eye opener. I have an issue with Procrastination, even if I麓ve tried some of the techniques explained in this Course before. But the way Barbara Oakley explains concepts and ideas in a clear and relaxed way has helped me to get that extra motivation I didn麓t find anywhere else.

Learned HOW to actually apply study tips that we hear everywhere: stop procrastinating, active learning, spacing the material, etc. Lectures are packaged in interesting bite-size videos that explain the neuroscience of why the techniques work. The course empowers ordinary people that learning a lot of new things does not require genius.

Learned so many things that is impossible to list all of them here; I applied these skills immediately on my job and hobbies and the rate of learning has been improved consistently. You not only learn about learning but a many tricks and information also useful to improve your motivation and engagement. I strongly recommend this course.

Great course! Should be taught prior to HS/College so students can understand best habits to really learn the material and ingrain it in long term memory rather than short term or working memory. Especially loved the content on procrastination and the "Pomodoro technique". Thanks Barbara and everyone at UCSD who made this course happen!

Learning How to Learn is a great course. It taught me a lot more about procrastination and taught me a lot of really good study techniques. I am a 12 year old 7th grader and I really enjoyed Learning How to Learn. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be a more effective learner. Thank you to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski!

This really was an exceptional course, with a great balance of useful and practical tips for learning and information about how we learn. The concepts in this class aren't just limited in usefulness to learning. I've been using these techniques (especially the Pomodoro) to be more productive at work. Great job Drs. Oakley and Sejnowski!

I have never given a course five stars, and did for Learning How to Learn. The reason is because the topic can be used to strengthen so many situations (school, work, sleep). This course is helpful not only to me, but my family, which include two teenagers. There are so many resources to connect with and learn more about the topics.

Brilliant journey into how our brain operates when we are studying new subjects or acquiring information from the world outside.
A lot of interviews with interesting people who share their own techniques of memory training, studying and struggling with procrastination.
Easy to understand and worth applying in your real study activities!

Great, Love the mental skills covered. chunking,brainstorming you can lear so great teqniques. I did not like the peer graded assiments because no one grades them so are out 2 years without grades with the was an auto pass if over 6 months without a grade. however, this class was hard and challenging I felt like I learned a new skill.
