This course was quite valuable for people of all ages. Really wish that there had been a module or requirement for me to hear this information before starting college, but still, years after graduate school, the concepts and tips presented are of value as we continue to learn in life.

I like it, it helps me to know that the methods of learning that are not taught in school to increase my ability to learn, in the article also mention some names of different types of neurons. I absolutely love it, especially the part about what motivates you. Yeah, and I finished it.

This was a very enjoyable course, which was divided up into easily digestible chunks of information. I was able to implement what I learned right away, and will remember how to take advantage of research-proven ways to deal with procrastination and how to better memorize information.

A very vivid and useful aid in understanding, reviewing and improvising the entire process of how we learn. the best part is that it isn't confined to one single branch of specialty, but can be applied to anything and everything including routine tasks making it very apt for everyone.

As a 59 year old reinterring the classroom for the first time in more than 30 years, this course provided me with many helpful tools to master subjects that I'm brand new to. The videos and readings were short enough to help me develop chunks of every concept that the course covered.

As someone who has not been in a classroom setting in 3 decades, this course got me on the right track for learning again. The techniques described and learned in Learning How To Learn will help me succeed in the first online class I've ever taken...and hopefully many others. Try it.

Short course with practical tools. I would recommend using the techniques shown in the course be applied during this course itself - such as the Pomodoro technique and mini-testing by recall. It will help you memorize these techniques for future learning. Thanks Barbara and Terrence.

This has been very educational! It has given me a lot of insight on where I fall short and where I was good at when it comes to learning. I've always fashioned myself as a slow learner but now I know that learning is indeed slow. Time and care is necessary to learn - creating chunks.
