Excellent! I have been a teacher for 18 years. I wish I had learned this information when I was preparing to be a teacher! It would have helped me as a learner, and it would have informed the study skills classes I attempted to cobble together.

This course teaches the fundamentals of the learning process. The optional interviews are very useful and enlightening. Weeks 1-3 were the most useful. Week 4 is more about test taking strategies, hence, not as useful for working professionals.

I wish I would have taken this course when I started college, when I started my master's program, and when I started learning programming. Incredible course full of useful information and it's one of the first and only MOOCs I've ever completed.

Very helpful. Deceptively easy, but it's actually quite useful and applicable to real life. As an undergrad of UCSD, I wish I had known about this course at orientation but now I'm an alumni lol. Still feels good to learn about learning, though.

I think it is good for some people, I mean i learned a lot about human brain in this course, but most of the "good advices" and techniques mentioned in videos were used by me subconciously, still would recommend for knowledge about human brain.

Very useful for anyone having difficulty learning a new concept, no matter if you're a working professional or a struggling high school student. Gives valuable insight into how the brain processes information and moves it into long-term memory.
