I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, I will be recommending it to all my friends. I have gained a lot of understanding on techniques that I used to follow when learning as a child or a young adult on a subconscious level, and now I finally know why. Also, the intro to the work of brain, has been very helpful to chunk the topics.

I'm very thankful to Barbara for that course. It took me 2 years to finally finish it :) Although I see some area of improvement. There are a lot of myths related to learning: like best time to study is between 9 and 12 am, etc. and it would be great if these things were proved or debunked during this course. Thank you, Oleksandr.

Excellent. The course progresses from simple to complex learning methods.
I found Dr.Oakley's candid declaration of her anxieties with Math and Science
gave me tremendous amount of encouragement to pursue my studies in Math
and Science. I am already sharing my knowledge from this course with others.
Thanks to Dr.Oakley and her team.

A great course with a wonderful mix of nuggets of neuroscience and tips and tricks to make your learning faster, stronger, and more long-lasting. The videos are short and crisp and do not beat about the bush. The subtle element of humour in everything, including test options, adds to the awesomeness. Wish there's a sequel to this!

Best course ever on the subject. Barbara sure knows how to catch and keep one's attention and focus.

Amazing courses, in content and delivery. I consider it a base for any learning journey, and I wish I learned this material 10 years ago.
I felt that every word was carefully selected to deliver the right message, even the optional interviews were very inspiring and added value to the core content.

Great course that goes into the reasoning and happenings in the brain during the process of learning. Provides useful tips on various methods to better learn, and also those to help avoid inefficient use of time. Offered some new perspectives towards my own learning, tons of resources, and last but not least, very warm lecturers!

The amount of techniques that we get from this course help us not only throughout our learning processes but also can be considered life-changing skills: on the moment that we are able to recognise how our brain works, we become more aware on how to master it. I hope I can use those lessons on diverse areas of my life and career.

I really enjoyed this course, the first weeks took me more time to complete, but as I started using techniques that were recommended, then I could complete lectures and assignments on time but also having more time to relax. One of the things I really appreciate is the "focus on process instead of the product". Loved this course!

This was a great course. It was my second time attempting the course and I'm glad that I was able to finish it and learn from it. I had read A Mind for Numbers when I first attempted the course and enjoyed it. It will be good to revisit the learning tools in this course periodically to continue to help me become a better learner.

Great course to get the basics of learning methods. Even those who thought they were "in the know" on this topic will learn something new 鈥 especially through the supplementary interviews. It's also surprisingly funny, in a surprisingly non-pathetic way (i.e. not like "oh an academic is trying to be funny <eyeroll>) . Good stuff!

Brilliant course. It was an eye opener for me. I realized how many mistakes I had done in my life when trying to learn things. I think this course would be game changer in my life as I would 5X my speed of learning things. And knowledge and speed of learning is the prime ingredients to succeed. This course gives you super powers.
