Lectures are fun and interesting as a class on learning should be. I recommend taking this class to anyone who is interested in continuing their education online or on a campus. This course should be a prerequisite to learning from middle school or high school on. An absolute must take!

Exceptional! A calm, easily grasped, and informative course on how the brain reacts to learning. One comes away not only with much understanding on the learning centers of the brain, but how to utilize several mental tools to overcome one's own learning difficulties. Highly recommended!

I learned the following to master a subject -
1 Mental tools,
2 Learning techniques - Promodoro, Memory Palace, Metaphors and Analogy
3Making Learning techniques as a 'Habit'
I shall learn a subject concentrating joyfolly on the process of learning and not on the product of learning.

It is highly important to learn this course before starting the main study process. The information is extremely useful. And as it was said in the course we lack of a manual for our brains. but people, as every one knows, should read manuals before start using anything new they obtain.

Best course to take no matter what field you're in! This course is seriously life changing. From understanding how learning works, to tips on studying and taking exams, to changing your perspective about learning and your ability to learn. Honestly should have taken this course sooner!

Truly helpful to understand how your brain works and how to trick it for you to learn better. I appreciate the funny analogies used in this content. I love that the videos are short and interesting at the same time. Thank you for sharing your discoveries and tips! Let's all learn more!

All the things I wanted to know about learning when I was in school.
And some of this stuff, I thought back then I was the only one to think about this stuff, no professor or pupil was talking of these concepts.
It would have been hugely useful back then... I will be hugely useful now :)

I have learned many things in this course. Such as the pomodoro technique, how important sleep is and the difference between focused and diffuse modes in learning. I thought the course was well structured and I would highly recommend it to others. Thank you so much for opening my eyes.

Learned a lot of techniques to use our minds. The techniques they've listed and explained in the course, when practised can definitely make you remember anything. And it's not just about learning...they've also explained how to use the knowledge you've gained in the most effective way.

It was the best course I've ever had.
In Russian: в рот мне ноги, это самое шедевральное творение человечества в области саморазвития, буквально за две-четыре недели ты узнаёшь о себе туеву хучу полезной информации, которую можешь применять на практике буквально во всём.

It's a very interesting course which is helpful not only for improving your learning skills but also your daily habits of thinking and working as well. If you're interested in the subject of the brain and how it's working that course will give you some foundation of understanding that.

Since my own goal is to be a life long learner, I have read a lot of books about learning and brain. This course has demonstrated the framework and method so that I can connect what I learnt together. That is to say, it is like pearls connecting to the necklace. Thanks for your course.
