An excellent course in understanding simple techniques to improve the learning process. I use these methods of learning to overcome the innate prorastination I go through on a regular basis. I would like to thank Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski for sharing this wonderful course with the world.

Love love loved this course - read the corresponding book and recommend both to anyone who will listen. I have implemented many of the techniques not just in my own learning and time management efforts - but for my crew at work. The follow up material keeps the learning going - Great stuff!

It really supported and motivated me with my leanings of Web Development. My greatest takeaway is that learning takes not only place while concentrating on something. But also sports, sleep and giving yourself time on a topic is fundamental to better and faster really understand something.

Thank you for creating an encouraging class. Learning, facts and science is invaluable, but without encouragement, being pursistant and confident when learning it is very hard to stay productive and learn to the best of the brain's potential. Thank you I look forward to the follwing weeks.

Great course! There are a lot of practical techniques and tools introduced in the course. Also, the professors explained the science behind some common behaviors or feelings. Hopefully I am forming a better learning habit. At least I am handling procrastination according to the videos now!

This is by far the best course I have taken on Coursera. It reminds me of the techniques that I have long been abandoned and introduces intriguing part on improving myself. This one is simply brilliant. I will definitely recommend this course to any full-time undergraduate student to take!

This is an absolutely excellent course which should be taught in schools. I have founded a coding school ( https://agileroo.com) where I teach kids how to code - I will introduce a special module called "Learning how to lean", since the material is much needed for all kids and teenagers.

This is an inspiring journey. I highly recommend it to anyone who has crises of faith when seeking out new knowledge that is within your reach but just lingering out of your grasp. If it were up to me I'd make it compulsory for everyone who joined the full-time workforce every 12 months.

This really helped me tackle procrastination and get excited about my work. It helped me improve focus that now helps me focus so much better and get so much out of my day. I no longer have to work longer; instead this has taught me to work smarter and get more done. Very valuable course!
