I have tried to be responsible for my own learning for years since I graduated. And I am always being troubled by the fact that the progress I've made is too slow because of my poor memory. This course offers many useful techniques which I believe will definitely give me a hand to my coming learning process.

This course was fun. Even though most of the techniques presented in it are very simple they are effective. Helped me to organize my work and better focus on single tasks. No secret powerful sacred tools that will make a superhuman if you are looking for this kind of course. You still need to work a lot :).

no sólo son principios sobre el aprendizaje, sino que además estimulan a desarrollar el mayor potencial de nuestros tiempos de estudios... expande el entendimiento y eleva la comprensión respecto a la necesidad de cultivar la mente como parte del cuidado a la salud fisica y emocional... una ayuda integral...

This course is fun and educational at the same time, providing hundreds of useful learning techniques, facts and tips. Learning is a life-long process, and I must say that it's Dr. Oakley's personality that largely inspires me to finish the course and have confidence in my future learning. Thank you so much!

This is the most important topic, because it can help one in any field.

The explanations were very effective and avoided maximum techinical or critical scientific terms to make the subject easy for common people. By testing and repetation of key concept made the important basics concrete.

Thak you very much.

Outstanding course on a passion ting domain for someone like me who likes to learn. I would have loved to know all this much younger (I am 50), but anyway I have good and solid tips and knowledge now. Warm thanks to the pdegogical team ! simply Excellent ! I am recommending that course to all my friends !!!

I am really glad that I took this course. it has already changed my life as I believe that I can now learn anything I want to turn my life around. This course is actually a gift for life and this quote by Cajal: "perseverance is the virtue of the less brilliant" will stay with me forever. Thank you so much!

I find understanding how we learn very helpful to be an efficient, effective and strategic learner as well as the techniques and strategies for studying, memorizing and beating procrastination. I really love how they explain learning in terms of cognitive pyschology, educational pyschology and neuroscience.

Excellent information provided by the lecturers with a good pace and knowledgeable teaching method/ Excelente información proporcionada por los instructores con un buen tiempo y método de enseñanza impecable. Altamente recomendado este curso para todo el que quiera mejorar profesionalmente y personalmente.

This course has helped me with my learning and my most problematic issue: procrastination! I highly recommend this course to all those people who are learning something, whether it's a new language, or learning how to play baseball. It also is tremendously profitable to those students who have test anxiety.

Creo que el curso me dio un gran insight del proceso que es el aprendizaje. Si bien es relativo respecto a lo que hago en la vida real, creo que es un curso muy practico que te ayuda a entender a fondo el proceso y reconocer posibles errores o habitos enfocados de una manera menos productiva. Muy alentador!

So many amazing things to become a better learner! At the beginning, it was a little hard to adjust myself in the new way of learning. But DO NOT skip any chapter, you will see everything is connecting. At the end, you will see in yourselves only positive and innovative ways concerning the learning process.

Its an excellent course, which provides you the basics of how to learn and remember in a very logical and sequential manner. Loved the way how instructors keep interest of learners throughout the course. BEST ONE for learning. Praises and thanks to instructors and complete team involved in it. Best Regards

In this course I realized some errors in my previous study techniques, but now I improved my study habits thanks to this information, which really helped me a lot. It was the first course I completed, because it motivated me a lot, the teachers explain very well. Thank you for sharing your study techniques.

I really love this course. I enjoy learning very much, but after taking this course, I think I can learn new things effectively. I also love the Competence of Illusion of Competence Chapter, for so much things I think I master it, I actually know only the basic and I am on my way to improve that. Thank you!

The concepts mentioned about the diffused and focused mode are just brilliant and a must try. Education would have been so better if someone had taught the concepts taught here. Really good course to learn no matter the age and field you are in. I wish colleges and schools teach this course before anything.

I've never valued tests, nor flash cards, nor anything that I perceived as gimmicky learning tools. Learning was just learning. But I was wrong.

Understanding your cognitive behavior and how memories and knowledge are formed has helped me grasp learning in a new intuitive way.

I highly recommend the course!

It was my first course at coursera and hopefully not the last one! Many thanks for all of the makers, participants, professors, researchers. I learned a lot of excellent techniques, read, saw, heard a lot of great and inspiring stories. I think I've learned much from you guys!

My best regards,

It provides an essential understanding of how the brain operates when learning, explained in a very pedagogical way, and it gives tools to maximize your learning in every sense. Extremely interesting and useful, I enjoyed it A LOT, I'm successfully using the techniques and telling everyone to do it as well!

YAY! My first online course done with learning how to learn! Well done will use this to chunk the other upcoming online courses. This will serve as basic and fundamental of learning everything I want to learn on the rest of courses. Keep learning effectively for life and explore the world of passion. Kudos!

Very good course, It lets you know how you should really learn any thing very effectively, I appreciate the teachers who made it possible to reach individuals, Dr. Barbara Oakley is now my one of the best teacher and Dr. Terrance Sejnowski thank you for sharing valuable information and your great knowledge.

What a course, what a teachers. The best subject and course that I do in my entire life. Definitely recommend. All of the course is based on science and proofs and the teachers are really kind and smart. I want to have one day the Barbara kindness that even not knowing her personally I can feel. Thank you!

This course has helped me gain some of the most valuable skills I will ever have. The things taught in this course relate to many different parts of life and I will be able to use this knowledge in many different ways. I have come to understand my brain better and I wish I had known these things years ago!

I initially took this course to prepare me to study my degree again as I want to shift career soon. I was able to use the techniques I learned from this course in studying online and in learning new things at work. Thank you so much to Dr. Barbara Oakley, Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and to the rest of the team!

I love it, the lessons on this course got my attention always, there was never a boring lesson to watch and learn from. If you guys want to improve your skill in learning, this course is the one for you. Thank you for this great content, I will share my knowledge on "learning how to learn" to others. Kudos
