I found this course to be incredibly helpful. I am 33 and wish that I would have been taught a more efficient way of learning many years ago. There are definitely some great takeaways from this class.

This course accumulates a clear and valuable set of thoughts that structure knowledge about learning principles and tactics. Also, it was interesting to know some new things about how the brain works.

This course has helped me with my learning and my most problematic issue: procrastination! I highly recommend this course to all those people who are learning something, whether it's a new language, or learning how to play baseball. It also is tremendously profitable to those students who have test anxiety.

Creo que el curso me dio un gran insight del proceso que es el aprendizaje. Si bien es relativo respecto a lo que hago en la vida real, creo que es un curso muy practico que te ayuda a entender a fondo el proceso y reconocer posibles errores o habitos enfocados de una manera menos productiva. Muy alentador!

So many amazing things to become a better learner! At the beginning, it was a little hard to adjust myself in the new way of learning. But DO NOT skip any chapter, you will see everything is connecting. At the end, you will see in yourselves only positive and innovative ways concerning the learning process.

I really love this course. I enjoy learning very much, but after taking this course, I think I can learn new things effectively. I also love the Competence of Illusion of Competence Chapter, for so much things I think I master it, I actually know only the basic and I am on my way to improve that. Thank you!

The concepts mentioned about the diffused and focused mode are just brilliant and a must try. Education would have been so better if someone had taught the concepts taught here. Really good course to learn no matter the age and field you are in. I wish colleges and schools teach this course before anything.

I've never valued tests, nor flash cards, nor anything that I perceived as gimmicky learning tools. Learning was just learning. But I was wrong.
Understanding your cognitive behavior and how memories and knowledge are formed has helped me grasp learning in a new intuitive way.
I highly recommend the course!

It provides an essential understanding of how the brain operates when learning, explained in a very pedagogical way, and it gives tools to maximize your learning in every sense. Extremely interesting and useful, I enjoyed it A LOT, I'm successfully using the techniques and telling everyone to do it as well!

It was a great course to learn the proper techniques needed for learning in every field and to learn a little about human psychology. I loved the procrastination part because that is the portion in which a person suffers daily .So,to know how to overcome the sense of procrastination is a great thing to do.

Excellent course! Enjoyed learning how to learn. While auditing this course I learned great new techniques how to learn and got the idea of what I was doing wrong before. The great thing about this course is that it allows you to learn while progressing through the course by giving you a lot of mini tasks.

Exceptional tools for life-long learners to use in our journey. Also, it dispelled some learning practices, such as excessive use of highlighting, which can cause illusions of competence. Thank you Barb and Terry for sharing your wisdom and insights and for sharing video interviews of other great learners.

This course was excellent! I learned so much and am already using what I learned in my studies of language and guitar. Thank you to Drs. Oakley and Sejnowski and to 糖心vlog官网观看 for making this course available. I'm also loving Dr. Oakley's book, "A Mind for Math." She's a great writer and engaging instructor!

One of the few learning skills courses to really hit home. It's not that many new concepts were introduced; so much as that a better understanding of the cognitive and/or neurological processes underlying familiar methods clarified their usefulness and gave them a new importance to me. Very helpful course!

I loved it. I learned a lot, but more than that I ENJOYED a lot. Of course, that in turn helped me learn even deeper. I enjoyed the lessons and the presentation style. And I really loved all the interviews that were optional. I hope to be able to rewatch/relisten to those over and over. Thank you again. :)

It is a great course. I have learned why some techniques are better than others (recall vs highlighting) and how can I learn more effective. But it's not (only) about techniques and tricks. This course explain HOW 'learning' works and WHY it is important to learn effective (see the illusion of competence).

I wish I had known taken this course while I was in High School or College. It would have spared me so much suffering. It has great information on how the brain works when learning, and very useful study and test taking techniques. Thanks for making this course. Applying its content can be life altering.
