I started this course not knowing what I'll be getting, not knowing if it will succeed in improving the way I learn and my life overall. Now, that uncertainty cleared out and I know for sure that this course did it for me. Now I'm learning new things everyday and actually getting values out of them.

First off, the course brought to me many new ideas about learning. Secondly, the exercises reinforced many of those ideas. As a result, I now have a much better shot at being an effective learner. Having said that, our results will only be good if we "deliberately" apply what this course teaches us!

I found the course helped relieve some anxiety about ging back to school this fall. I learned a lot about myself and will continue to apply the knowledge I gained about how my brain works, how I learn and how to best improve the way I learn and think. I enjoyed the course my than I thought I would.

I hope to keep on getting back to this course over and over just to remind myself how learning works, and how I'm able to make my own learning manual associated on my abilities. Thank you for lending us this material, it now opens more opportunities for me on how to approach things about learning.

I used to study much for school but was not getting the exact output of what I put in. Learning this course has helped me to understand and know the mistakes . I believe going forward my results would not be the same because I have started putting into practice all that I have learnt in this course

Great way to learn with Dr.Barbara Oakley and the way she gives example in terms of real life situation it is really a nice way to start learning new skills and concepts.

Love from India

This has been very well put course about improving one's learning skills.

Even though most of the subjects might have been somewhat familiar to me as a psychology MA It was still very helpful in a learning context.

Definitely worth spending your time on this to improve your capabilities to learn!

By far the best course i have ever seen. Excellently structured and this course motivated me to think a lot about myself, for example i am practicing pomodoro technique. For the first time in my life, I published an article on Medium because of the final assignment being given in the honors section

This Course really helped me to learn a lot of new things and look at the process of learning from a very different perspective. Thank You Coursera and I would also like to thank Dr.Terrence Sejnowski and Prof. Barbara Oakley for their Valuable inputs and Efforts to pull off this wonderful course.

This course has been comprehensive, enlightening, inspiring, and useful.

It was well-presented and well-structured. Your learning builds upon itself as you go through the course. I found myself easily digesting lessons, immediately applying the strategies, and finishing the course in half the time.

I find myself using the techniques I learned in this course not only when I'm trying to learn new things, but also when I'm trying to strengthen my ability to create and write. I recommend the course to everyone who is committed to expanding life skills, academic skills, or any other learning goal!

This course will change my life. I having been using all the methods that I shouldn't. Only through this course, I could find correct methods that are efficient and reliable. Huge thanks to the professors who put their time and energy into this course. Thanks for teaching us learning how to learn.

EXCELLENT course – Dr. Barbara Oakley explains very well (it is really helpful she is so calm but, at the same time, excited about what she is teaching!) and she gives a lot of good examples, so that we can understand more deeply where to apply the techniques she talks about. I highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful course for students and educators alike. I teach kindergarten ESL, but I've been able to put into practice much of what I learned about learning to help my students learn more and remember it longer. Plus, this course has helped me to rekindle my own lifelong love of learning.

Great course! It helps to formalize best learning practices and become a good learner. You'll find out what Pomodoros and interleaving are, how to understand and remember newly learned material better with less effort, how to procrastinate less. Thanks to whole LHTL team for such great information!

If you struggle with your university/high school workload, I highly recommend you to take this course. It helps you to design better strategy to enhance your study and to cope with subjects that you dislike. The course also introduces ideas which definitely help you become a more productive learner

This should be required material for all young students. Of course, it will help "life learners" and anyone who likes to challenge (or must challenge) their minds regularly. I just wish I had taken this course in middle school, as the rest of my life would have been much easier and more productive.

I love Barbra Oakley! She's funny, creative intelligent & I love that she uses her own experience (& I'm assuming her daughter) as examples to help understand the connecting of dots. I'm learning a lot of valuable information in this course that I fully plan on using as I continue educating myself.

I have learned a lot from this course on how to become a much better learner and how to beat procrastination, as far as i have seen all of the techniques i have learned in this course are extremely effective and has drastically influenced and changed my way of thinking and the perception of things.

I didn't finish the course.... For one simple reason, I became so enamoured with the teacher's way of explaining that I purchased the book. I am currently looking through the suggested books in the suggested reading parts of the course. Thank you for a great content course both in content and form!

It indeed provides the efficient methods of learning.Now, I just focus on several 25-minute study time per day while the topics of the study time vary.Meanwhile, I learn to grab the knowledge step by step in accordance with a long-tern learning plan,in a word, to learn earlier and little by little.

This is so powerful. This is the first class that I took on the journey of Coursera for the purpose to better learn whatever I want to learn later. It is definitely worth it and I appreciate so much that it is free of charge. It helps me to get motivated again in a long while. It is life-changing.

Wish I knew this information years ago! Taught me a whole bunch of new techniques and tricks to apply, which in hindsight would have made school as a kid MUCH easier. I cannot believe they don't make this kind of course mandatory learning in schools for young kids. Highly recommend this course!!!

It was a wonderful experience with Barbara Okley. was able to understand some key factors of handling our brain when trying to learn something. Thank you the amazing interview sessions with some great personalities. I am surely it will be helpful for me in my future attempt of learning as well..!

This course has a lot of value and helpful elements that allows to students an other people to have a consciousness of the brain system and the most effective techniques for learn about it.

I will still sharing these tools to other people, thanks a lot for allow me receive it, I´m honestly grateful
