Probably the most important course I've ever taken in my life and it was completely free. Already applied many of the concepts and have seen the difference. Do yourself a favor and take this course.

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.

Great fundamentals about learning. Clarifies how to learn after years of what now feels like wasted school that was unable to place the wrong emphasis on how to learn effectively. Makes learning feels like less of a chore and more interesting again.

I've even read the book by Barbara Oakley - "A Mind for Numbers" from cover to cover and I've absolutely loved the book as well. I do plan to read the book twice a year so as to cement the lessons into my learning self.

Highly recommended. After taking this course I learnt that how my study methods were absolutely wrong. I used to spend more time than needed because I actually didn't the right approach. This is something we were never taught in schools or colleges.

The mental tools presented are really helpful. And I'm happy to see that I've been using some of the techniques even before the course, but now that I'm conscious about them, things will be easier to understand and I'll benefit more from my studies.

I highly recommend the course as it is the foundation of a pyramid of knowledge for every other MOOC out there. You might have known some content subconsciously but here you have it backed with science. High five! Thank You Barbara Oakley! 小锌邪褋懈斜芯)

A very thought provoking course, with practical tips that you can really apply in practice. Some of the presentations were a little 'unpolished' but this made the course feel quite relaxed and enjoyable.
A nice course, well structured and explained.
