I am a more effective learner as a result of this course. It has also, surprisingly, increased my enjoyment while learning. Thanks to Barbara and Terry for a well presented and informative production.

Great info, I also read the book to further interleave the learning. In the future I will definitely use techniques presented in this course. One little point of annoyance, for most of the tests, the multiple choose questions contain very clearly right and very clearly wrong answers. In my opinion this makes the effectiveness of taking those tests much less. I think this is a missed opportunity since this course itself speaks so highly about the value of serious test taking. But overall I'm very happy with the course.

I felt it was mainly fun, and I did talked about the principles and interviews I've seen during the course, so I guess something about the course works! :)
Also, It helped me understand some of my behaviors (for good and bad) .
There are a few things that were a bit...well...made me go somewhere else for a while during the course:
1.
It took me a while to get used to the lectures tempo. For me - they are a bit too slow.
2.
In many cases - the answers for the question were long. From time to time - It was really exhausting.

Through this course I learned about the mechanics of the learning, techniques for learning better and also how to retain what we learn in our long-term memory.
The course covers a wide range of topics such as procrastination, different thinking models, the importance of physical activity for your brain among many others.
The course has the contribution of experts and scientists from different domains which I believe that contributes for the overall quality of the program.
I highly recommend everyone to take this course!

I found this course while looking around what to learn in 糖心vlog官网观看 and this one has a high rating and interesting topic, since I'm kind of struggling to overcome procrastination lately. But what I learn here is more than just tackling procrastination, it's so amazing to learn about our brain and how to maximize its function. There is also some useful techniques that can be implemented in our daily life. I suggest everyone to take this course because it will give you a new perspective about learning. Try it yourself.

Me gusto mucho, aunque me hubiera gustado much铆simo mas haber tenido este curso disponible cuando estudie la universidad. En t茅rminos generales muchos de los consejos los fui adquiriendo a prueba y error durante mi 茅poca de estudiante, pero muchos otros conceptos acerca del funcionamiento del cerebro en relaci贸n al aprendizaje y consejos mencionados durante el curso me habr铆an ayudado much铆simo saber que eran correctos en su momento y saber que iba por el camino correcto al probar t茅cnicas diferentes para estudiar

Good afternoon! I am eternally grateful to the authors of the course and all those involved in it. This is the best thing I've learned lately, I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. The course is very exciting and useful, it is literally an instruction to the brain. Awesome! Special thanks, Barbara Oakley she is so friendly that it cannot leave you indifferent. Dr. Terrence SejnowskiThank you for your invaluable knowledge. Thank you for helping people from different countries to be kinder and smarter. Thank you!

I found it an amazingly well organised course. It cut no corners. A spade was called a spade. Most things we know but it's good when its re-enforced and we are made to face reality - illusions of competence. We fool ourselves so easily. Its hard hitting and extremely beneficial. I particularly liked the palace technique. It took me a while to actually understand but it was quite astounding how it worked once put into practices.
It was a great course and I am glad I got so much out of it. Thanks to Babara and Terence.

This is a must-take course for any adult learner about to undertake any significant learning activity. In my humble opinion it should be required material in every degree course and I would not be exaggerating to say that completing it has changed my life. As an adult learner with ADHD, I found it useful in particular to enhance my self awareness and understanding of how my brain works. Although I had heard of pomodoro and anki cards before - I did not have a technical understanding of WHY they worked until now.

The course is very intrinsic in its teaching and i would most definitely recommend to nay student starting out either in their academic career or simply considering one in the near future. Even if it might not be education purposes, it can also be for job as it was in my case. Unfortunately, it was too late on my end, but I look to making changes in the future as advised by my peers in this course. It will teach the reason why slowing down is very important and vital to undertaking as well as mastering of concepts.

Absolutely game changing stuff! I always was curious about figuring out a set of principles that will make my learning more efficient. I used to avidly read the Learning on Steroids material by Scott Young. Although I had known much of the stuff taught on this course, I never had the right structure to put all this in perspective. The much-needed structure is what this course gave me. I'm currently a broke entrepreneur. But, when the time comes, I want to buy this course as a token of thanks. Thank you, 糖心vlog官网观看!

It is true that there is a broad applicability of the concepts presented in the videos. Using scientific data and concrete examples to illustrate points, the instructors truly delivered.
As a medical student, I find this course really worth investing into. I still am amazed of the things I've learned about learning. I am surprised at how much time and energy I've wasted before studying inefficiently. No wonder I'm burned out time and again. It was delightful embarking on this ship. Thank you very much!

Highly recommend to take this as your first MOOC course. Very easy to understand, all topics discuss are presented in an easy, painless manner. The professors have very informative and brief video lectures, and taking the questions and quizzes right after the lectures is very helpful in staying engaged without using up too much of your time. This is coming from a person who has had a hard time with going to school, so the result is very good. Hopefully the other classes are as good and to the point as this one was.

An original, interesting, well organized course that sums up many tools that you can casually find on the internet when you get frustated about not learning effectively what you want to learn. It gives useful tips to become a good learner (boosting your morale!) and a fundamental explanation of our neurological processes. Barbara Oakley is a pleasure to listen to! Thanks!
PS. Just a small criticism to improve: 1) tests little challenging 2) optional interviews are nice but usually generalistic despite being so long

I loved this course. The instructors were so encouraging and positive about what they taught. Thye gave great information but it did not come across as "lecturing." By giving examples from their own lives it made the lessons so much more meaningful and also gave me ways to remember some of the learning lessons shared. I wish I had this course many years ago it would have saved me so much time. I eventually self learned some of the information shared here. Hearing it now was so validating and empowering. Thank you!

This is an essential course to understand a bit clearer how to learn new concepts and more important, how our brain works and how we can maximize its performance.
Both Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski master all the subjects taught, and it's remarkable the passion they show in the different videos and the useful optional interviews.
I can only highly recommend this video to those who want to improve their capabilities regarding memory, thinking or best understanding and brain performance in general.

It is very helpful topics discussed and lots of new information and new areas of knoweledge. I believe it should be introducred earlier to adults or students as It will be so beneficial to their study for sure as will as old people like me. This topic deserve more deeper learning as it is very vital to gain more knowledge in shorter time and maximizing the value of valuable resource - Time.
Thanks for the tremendous time and effort spent in this material, interview, and other available sources for extra readings

This class will help you think about learning in new ways because (1) it includes recent findings on brain structure and processes (2) it provides concrete tactics for learning more effectively and (3) the teacher grappled with having to rewire her own brain early in career. So, she serves as both proof of the power of the process - and inspiration. She is just so darn NICE. She really wants people to take control of their learning and their lives. By the time the course is over, you just want to make her proud.

I knew that this course was one of the most popular courses in personal development genre but the course surpassed my expectations. I began to think learning as a fundamental activity in my daily life rather than simple techniques when facing exams and tough subjects. There are many books on study methods and how to learn effectively but so far, the lecturer is the only one who was successful in connecting the daily life with learning. I believe my notes that I took over the course will be valuable for some time.

陌t is a very good course. Dr. Oakley and Prof. Sejnowski give helpful tips about how to plan your learning process. Additionally they don't only give useful tips but also provide additional scientific basis of these tips. Prof. Sejnowski clearly explains complex structure of our brain and its processes, and also extracts learning rules based on this scientific basis. Dr. Oakley also gives wonderful examples that help understand the material more easily. I express my gratitude for this course. Thank You very much

"Learning How to Learn: Powerful Mental Tools to Help You Master Tough Subjects" is a highly insightful and practical resource for students and learners of all ages. The course and book provide a deep dive into cognitive science and offer actionable strategies to enhance learning efficiency. The key concepts, such as the difference between focused and diffuse modes of thinking, spaced repetition, and the importance of retrieval practice, are clearly explained and backed by research. Thank you for your guidance.鉁

Helps a lot to understand how to learn, how our brain and memory works.
At school we were teach to put a knowlege "with a hammer", forced ourselv reriding meterial again, and again, and again.
Sometimes less is better - more getting away to get new perspective, give brain time to create chunks, to understand all connections better. And practice! Ehen we get some basic idea only practice can do us better.
If you learning anything (and you should to, believe, it satisfaing!), try this course. You will not regret!a

Fantastic course. One should make it mandatory to all university professors and would be great for high students and first year university students. I am planning on integrating it into my teaching and presenting some of the ideas and techniques discussed in the course to my students on each class.
I have tried a few other courses on 糖心vlog官网观看 and this course seems truly exceptional: the way the material is structured, presented and you can really feel the enthusiasm of the course instructor.
Thank you very much.

As a lifelong learner I found this course invaluable in reaffirming techniques I already employ but also clarifying the science behind how & why we learn. It provides innumerable new insights & techniques to learn more effectively.
Professor Barbara Oakley is a gem of a Professor and she truly practices what she preaches from the way the material is presented to how we are tested on it.
This was my 1st course here and my plan is that it will pave the way for a binge festival of all the others via 糖心vlog官网观看 Plus!

The course was amazing and I have learned a lot of new things and techniques that I will use in my future endeavors. Barbra Oakley, Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and the other contributors through their interviews have shared so many practical usage of skills taught in this course. I recommend that every student or learner must take this course before going for other courses. It will help to learn new materials, concept and also keep that in memory by following the techniques taught in this course. Thank you so much.
