Great course - I understood that all the difficulties in my previous studying was connected to not knowing certain techniques. Learning can be fullfilling and lifechanging experience, great joy but also can be struggle - this course will help those who want to constantly learning and not for grades but for some higher goal

Amazing course with lots of useful strategies and approaches in learning. Teaches effective ways to memorize, avoid procrastination, & perform well on tests. The lectures are interesting and stimulating & the instructors do a great job emphasizing key concepts repeatedly in order for viewers to properly retain those ideas.

great work by faculty team, I m no psychologist and i was just free, so took this course, initially i faced some issues coz i didn't understand some brain structure topics, but did not give up, the quiz questions are good .also as each video is small (max7-8 minutes), you wont feel bored and will be able to finish them of

This course was very interesting, informative, fun and all the presentations were nicely filmed, it was a pleasure to listen Barbara about procrastination and memory.

I will definitely use all of the advices that I heard in this course. Sometimes we just need to hear something we might already know - to use it in real life.

Very good course, I enjoyed it. In a playful and "light" atmosphere, you get in touch with concepts about your brain and its way of working - ideas that took years of studying and thinking from very smart people.

Get these ideas to work in your benefit and test them in your own "laboratory of thoughts", then get productive!

Funamentally mind-changing! I loved this course because it opened my eyes to how I could study and learn new subjects. Now, instead of shirking away from somewhat daunting new subjects like coding or finance, I can finally learn with confidence knowing I will come away knowing more and understanding more about the subject.

Very very helpful. Everyone should take this course! We often work very hard on subjects but we lack the technique to learn something new so we tend to leave it imcomplete or complete it with not much satisfaction. This course teaches us how to utilize every single minute of your hard work and that too in a positive sense.

Very helpful, useful. Well organized, concise, eye-opening. The vids did not have annoying "fluff/fillers" that drained my time. They were well made, thoughtful and lean, and the presenters weren't "salesy" nor "hyping." The length and content of the vids were also bite-size, so I did not have difficulty staying on track.

such a wholesome course! really grew fond of the teachers. would 100% take another course taught by them. i definitely learned new skills on learning and was validated by the teachers every time they mentioned a strategy i already used and others belittled. the small chunks of videos really helped my learning go smoothly.

Achei ótimo, uma boa maneira de entender como aprender de uma maneira mais eficiente e concisa. O começo e meio do curso foca muito em como o cérebro funciona, enquanto a parte final em como usar isso tudo para se sair bem em provas. O que de forma geral da uma boa base para usar em diferentes aspectos da vida. Excelente!

This course tells us and reiterates the simple mistakes we make while learning. Although a grown-up individual will know these techniques back of his/her mind, this course emphasizes how we all have been doing things wrong for many years. Its a short but valuable course is recommended to anyone willing to improve oneself.

Excellent course, by all means. I would like to thank everyone who was a part of creating this amazing course and making all these complex ideas really simple in the most academic way. This course is absolutely useful and life-changing for anyone who's trying to do self-improvement in any domain. Thank you very very much!

I learned how to use the diffuse mode, I also acquired mnemonic techniques and I also learned not to enter editor mode while I write. in general I have achieved greater efficiency thanks to the awareness of how the brain works in learning. it was interesting, funny and above all very useful. Thanks. a wonderful experience

I was profoundly impressed by this course presented by these two amazing and interesting individuals who spent their time and energy on helping others to improve their learning skills! Barbara Oakley is a masterful story teller, - so engaging! Her kindness and good nature shine through in her narrative. Thank you so much!

Naturally we all learn daily basic, however to see the real process behind learning you must take this course. As instructors says, this course is manual for learning how to learn. When you read and understand manual you can control a equipment, likewise when you know the learning manual you can control your own learning

I highly recommed this course for everybody (teachers, parents and longlife learners). This course gives you really practical tips about how to maximize your effort when learning and great theoretical background to undertand why those tips really work. Thanks to the instructors and the team involved in creating this MOOC.

This course changed my life. In this decades, people lost concentration, although it's not their fault(include me). It teaches you how to learn more efficient and get more concentration, and finally it can change you life if you practice the skills frequently. Hope you guys have a fun here. Thanks everyone in this course!

Useful stuff for everyone. Students, teachers, parents, the professors are clear, engaging, and experts in their field. I cannot speak to how exciting it was for someone to inform me about how learning occurs, with lots of applicable methods. Easy to learn, engaging, and interesting,

5 stars to these wonderful professors.

This course was easy to follow, yet full of extremely useful elements. I have greatly enjoyed every lesson, and I am grateful to the instructors for creating a course that is at the same time fundamental and accessible to people with tight schedules. It's really never to late to learn how to learn. Absolutely recommended.

Thanks for this course! I didn't know how important physical exercises was for learning until I saw the videos about it! There are so many useful tips for learning how to learn. I will put as many tips/lessons as I can on Anki so I can take all the lessons that I learned on the past 4 weeks with me through my whole life!

After learning this course, I had some mental tricks and some useful knowledge to help me learn better at my subjects. It's even more beneficial since I'm changing to a new major, and I'm so overwhelmed at first. However, this course calm me down and make me realize I can learn anything if I know how to learn efficiently

A distinctive course I advise everyone to enrol in. It covers most aspects of the learning process, as it is useful from the academic point of view and also from the process. It does not matter your educational level or the type of your professional career. Guaranteed benefit, a course that will show you the way to learn

Really great course and I'm practising a number of the suggestions and tips that the course makes. Found it to be really helpful, as I'm coming back to study somewhat later in life. Tutors were great, really enjoyed the optional interviews. The accompany book is a fantastic read. Wish I'd found this course years ago.

A very good course indeed , it's amazing to know that learning can be done at any stage of life.

Really enjoyed it ,looking forward to use all the techniques that were taught and surely will tell my students all these techniques and help them in there learning.

Thanks a lot Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr .Terrence Sejnowski.
