I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

Wow, All this while I was thinking that I know really well how to learn things, and after completing this course I realised some of my methods were rather detrimental to my learning . Used this course's teaching in learning other 3 courses and I could learn better .

Muy interesante. Cuando se cree que se esta haciendo lo correcto para aprender, al ir avanzando en el curso se da uno cuenta de tantas fallas y creencias err贸neas que se tienen. Las explicaciones de B谩rbara son muy entretenidas. Adem谩s todo es con bases cient铆ficas.

To really learn how to learn involves understanding what your brain is doing during the study process. Information provided by this course can help you develop an understanding of how your brain works and how to use it in the best way possible. I really enjoyed it.

Hi! Learners
(Learning how to learn) It's an amazing course to understand things in a different way, it turning your mind to think in the right manner. After this course, I am able to understand things, how to make chunks and many other things. So I gave it 5 stars.

This course is really interesting with a lot of useful learning techniques that I can apply almost immediately into my studying. I believe that "learning how to learn" is an important skill that every student should master before they decide to learn something new.

I loved Barbara's teaching style. She made things easy to remember with the visuals, the reviews, and the quizzes. I have started using these techniques in my Spanish class, and it has helped so much. I'm also going to teach these techniques to my ESL students.

For everyone who's out there learning something, this course is for you. Even if you're an expert or newbie, if you're an athlete or a programmer. This course will take you further into developing the skills you want.

One of the most important courses I've ever taken... and I've already recommended this to nearly a dozen people.
I strongly feel this should be a mandatory prerequisite at every stage of formalized education (middle-school, high school, college, grad school, etc...)

Although, I had used or heard of some of the topics, going further into how the mind works and why those exercises work well was fantastic. The small chunks in each vid were great and the optional reading and videos were full of "easter eggs". Will be implementing!
