I truly enjoyed this course, lots of helpful information and great tips/exercises to help with the learning process. This is a great course for anyone that is planning on learning anything, the concepts crossover to just about anything. I would like to thank the professors for putting this together and sharing.

Great primer course for any discipline. The material is well-designed, well-paced, and (for lack of a better word) joyful. There are many practical tips and techniques that I look forward to further ingraining as the weeks go by. I am grateful to Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowki for their good work.

The course gave a great insight into how to learn. There are certain techniques that I've already been using, but many of them were new to me. The explanation of why some methods work and some don't was extremely clear.

Thank you for this great course, I will gladly use the lessons learned in my future learning.

I was skeptical about the course at first. The presentation seemed pretty old-school, although interesting. As the course progressed and I applied the theory and methods from the course I started learning far better and absolutely love the course! Perfect for anyone and everyone who embraces life-long learning.

This is an amazing course. It teaches easily a lot of tools to be a better learner, and explains the reason why they work. They even used the techniques on the course itself to make you learn better its contents.

Also Barb has a great attitude in all the videos, and Dr Terrence touch very interesting subjects.

Short and crisp course that provided me with many insights that I did not previously know. Things I learned here will definitely help with things that I will be learning for the rest of my life. Thanks for the course instructors and the people behind the scenes for bringing out such a course for the learners.

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken and quite possibly, the most important. The insight, skills, and info I learned in this course are going to serve me for my entire life. I only wish I had taken this course sooner. If you are considering taking this course, do it NOW. You will be so glad you did!

It was the first online course I take and believe it's quite interesting. A variety of content , which mainly aid to develop some good habits about learning. I was impressed by the instructors , the videos , and the lectures. I advise anyone to take this course. I much appreciate you for this valuable courses.

I feel truly happy to have chosen this MOOC! Both of our lecturers, B. Oakley & T. Sejnowski gave extremely useful information on how we can actually LEARN HOW TO LEARN and how to make life-long learning one of the best experiences. I believe all educators and learners should join this course. Congratulations!

It's a wonderful course. Through this course, I could have a new insight into how I can improve my learning skills. From the first minutes, I learned new tools and techniques and could use them even before the course become ended.

Thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski for sharing their knowledge passionately.

A very insightful combination of memory techniques and science to help you understand how learning works and how to get better at it. It has been useful for me and I have already adopted some daily uses. The graphics and green-screen are well done and add nice visuals to help lock the content into your memory

This course is incredible. The presenters are wonderful, clear, articulate, smooth delivery. The use of the metaphors and analogies were EXCELLENT. I also like the way the quiz questions were designed. The videos were well-done, good amount of time for each one, has images, narrator, text, color- was engaging.

Wish I'd had a course like this when I was young! Nevertheless, the course was very informative, with a casual tone and friendly teachers. Concepts that are complex are broken down and you can make sense of the information easily. Can't wait to begin applying what I've learned to my "real" life. Thank you!

it has been a journey into my own mind. I greatly enjoyed learning how to learn. I suggested this course to everyone i know, everyone who i feel need help and direction. This has been a very useful experience. I can see myself taking this course again, after i have some time to analyze all i learned.

Thank you!

I'm only on the first week, and I started this class as an ABSOLUTE skeptic, but it really is helpful. I mean... I even feel like I knew a lot of this, and EVEN SO the class is illuminating, motivating, and truly feels like it's making a difference for me. I can't explain it, but I can definitely recommend it.

Love it. Absolutely fantastic! Interesting to the bone!

The way of sharing knowledge make a difference from MOOC to MOOC. Barbara is all heart and knowledge. A authentic teacher, eager to make people think and learn. Absolutely, adore her!

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to you I'm a better Mom.

Taking this class has given me solutions to my biggest problems when it comes to learning and studying. If you are a person who is struggling with memorizing, studying, procrastination, and or anything really. I would highly recommend taking this class; you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain from doing so.

I am not even halfway done with finishing the course, but it is already helping me in learning. It is a shame that knowledge like this is not given to us at the very beginning of our education. That way a lot of human potential would not be lost like it currenty is being lost when children are sent to schools.

Great Course!

Very easy to understand and apply in daily basis.

I would recomend that If you're starting to participate in MOOCs courses and specialization, consider to include at the very begining to take this Course.

Barbara Oakley and her team did a good job preparing this amazing workshop.

Very informative and helpful. I learnt new skills and new interesting information. I was able to believe more in my learning ability. I was able to learn why certain things I already know are, in fact, important. I've gained some valuable skills which I am already putting in to practice now! Very worth-while.

I got to know a lot of interesting information about brains and how it works with respect to learning. Also I got to know that we are not doomed the day we are born, we can learn anything we want :) That is really important for me, because I want to try to learn absolutely new subject to me :) Wish me luck :)

it is really a helpful course for me. Learning new subjects effectively and change the leaning materials to long term memory is important in working environment, I think the requirement is not just limited the test in college. Grasping the learning skills and raise the good learning habits is benefit for life

This course has alot of valuable information in it. I was studying memory prior to this and had learned many of the techniques before this course but Learning How to Learn is still and great first step. I'm glad I worked this course and I look forward to building on this foundation with more Coursera courses.

A very well planned course. The videos are short, yet substantial and with very solid science behind. The whole structure of the program is a very good example of how to design an on-line course. I found it incredibly useful both for myself and for designing courses for my University. Very highly recommended.

I never knew I needed a learning reform! After enrolling in this course, I realized that there is something more to learning- it's not just coffee and long evenings. Overall, this course helped me a lot in my academic pursuit of attaining knowledge and internalizing its underlying concepts. Thank you so much.
