I really loved this course. While I didn't go for the certification as I was searching for better ways to study, this course was quite wonderful. Barbara does a wonderful job at explaining things and I learned so much about my brain and study methods. This really helped me tackle things and improve my learning, especially as I was searching for such knowledge already for years. So if you're interested or challenged in learning, go for it, you won't lose time ;)

The course is very relevant to anyone who thinks learning is an ongoing process. It is very important to people who don't think so. The course brings to the forefront the basis of key issues in learning and also provides concrete techniques to help one learn better. It provides opportunity for the learner to reflect on his/her own problems and helps improve. Hearty thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terrace Sejnowski for helping me take my learning to the next level!

It was a very interesting and instructive course. I learnt a lot about the brain, the way to study, how to avoid procrastination, how to prepare for a test, team work and methods of learning. In fact I suddenly find myself back to my old joyous way of attending to all my work in a day besides learning! I am now eager to restart my learning of Sanskrit and finish writing my novels. Both Dr.Terry and Barbara have prepared the course very well. I thank them a lot

However, I am going to recommend this course to all those who are interested in deep learning and to my loved ones to enroll to this course.

This course was truly phenomenal! I don't normally take online courses, but the thorough work and research done by Barbara and Terry has really changed the course of my life at the current moment. It has improved my learning skills, but has also improved my confidence in my ability to be a better learner. I especially loved learning about Santiago Ram貌n y Cajal, and found that story to be particularly inspiring. Excellent job to both of you, Barbara and Terry!

Good day to all, this is my first course with course era and also forst online course. To start with how to read and excel is excellent as it is common and most required at all stages of life as we keep on learning one or the other. This course helps to give some key takeaways like pomodoro technique, importance of night sleep before exam and also benefits of exercise that helps brain function.
Thanks to the team especially Barb.
Wishing you all most and more...

A very helpful course. Barbara is a very delightful instructor. I did also enjoy learning a bit about the brain in relation to learning from Dr. Terrell. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn more effectively and efficiently. There's a good number of learning techniques in this course. The Pomodoro technique is one technique that is so easy to do and yet so effective in stopping procrastination. That alone has made a huge difference. Thanks so much.

In this changing world, taking this course means changing your perspective towards learning. The instructors we're precise with what they have to render, they made the learning easy and informative. The course talks about various skills and methods for learning how to learn. They talk scientifically about the strategies which have been proved to be effective and productive for people. The best part is that it is practical.
Thank you for offering such a course.

A wonderful way of learning the scientific foundations of many useful learning techniques. With powerful examples, images and stories, Barbara and Terrence teach us what mechanisms are activated when we learn, which modes does our brain use to tackle with problems, how to improve our memory and how to overcome procrastination, among other contents. This course is fun, informative, useful and very easy to follow. Thanks for having put this boon to our disposal!

The topics raised in the course looks like very reasonable and important. As a software developer with over-20-years expirience I always have to learn new technologies and I found that I either generally argee with the course concepts or that I learned new remarcable concepts and tricks. The shared links to extra materials also looks very valuable and promising to read. I would say many thanks to Barbara and Terry for their efforts and wish them all the best!

Excelente curso, dise帽ado de una manera que permite ir aprendiendo y disfrutando el aprendizaje. Los ejemplos y comentarios, siempre pertinentes , hacen que los conceptos m谩s abstractos puedan ser aprendidos sin mayor esfuerzo. Los videos est谩n ilustrados con im谩genes que facilitan recordar y su toque de humor los hace a煤n m谩s memorables y agradables, a lo cual tambi茅n contribuye el buen humor y la sonrisa de Barbara.

I learned a lot, I really learned how humans and even animals learn, as the course name "Learning how to learn", one of the most important skill that I have learned during this course:chunking : which is simply a process of learning something mostly new to you, and keep practicing it over spaced period of time, by doing this you mainly build chunks that by the time will "communicate" with each other which allow you to get a bigger picture of what is going on.

This is an extra-ordinary course. The instructors are amazingly inspiring and the content is amazing. I specially loved the assessments and spaced repetition of the important learning materials of the course at different point of the course. Learning is a very important tool of our lives and we should all focus on learning better. In my opinion this is one of best courses for that and it is a must to do course for all learners regardless of their disciplines.

I procrastinated taking it for so long. But it is the best MOOC I've ever taken. It teaches you the secrets of neuroscience and psychology of learning in a fun way, with practical methods and concrete examples.
The course was also an opportunity for me to learn from inspiring people, the Interviewees and scientists from History.
Big thanks for everyone who contributed to this course.
It was a life changing experience for me!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING IT.

This course is a must for students and teachers alike. As a final year neuroscience PhD candidate I expected to know by now how to learn, yet I got a wealth of advice and new insights. It is a very useful course, with two very good teachers. Not only do they give you great studying and test taking tips, which you can apply immediately (which is why I think teachers should follow this course as well), they give you a lot of scientific background to these tips.

I have learned so many tips and suggestions from this course. Indeed its a great help not only me as learner but as well as being a teacher. I applaud Dr. Sejnowski and Dr. Oakley for imparting their expertise and love for learning. I also commend their delivery and approach for this course. There were a lot of insightful ideas especially the interviews with some professional who testify and share their experiences which I found very authentic and effective.

A friend suggested to glance through this course during our catch-up. Initially I was a bit apprehensive about this considering that I was not planing to take any more exams. However, this course gave me a pleasant surprise! This course is well structured, and changed my perception of learning. In short, this course is all about a "New Way of Learning". A "must-do" course, no matter whether you are a student, a teacher, a corporate executive or a home maker!
