Excellent techniques and explanation about how our brain works and how to enhance our ability to learn. I will definitely take these lessons with me and apply it on any future learning content. Thanks to Barbara for the clear and creative video material!

This is a very informative course offering necessary information to all those who want to increase their learning and studying abilities. Whether it be academic, professional or life learning, the tips and insights of this course are highly useful! Bravo

I have just completed first week of this course, so there is more 3 weeks ahead and this course is quite easy to understand and helpful. It will train your mind, change your perception regarding the learning methods and enhances your intellectual skills.

Very interesting course. The tips and tricks taught in this course are simple, easy to follow and with practise these tools will help the user become efficient in learning. This course helps you to enjoy learning and makes it fun to learn tough subjects.

Very interesting and useful tools, I love the test and paper writing which can really help me to have a deep and thorough understanding of the key point in this course. I need to practice in the future, as practice makes permanent. Thanks for all of you!

All the course is clear and comprehensible .

The language is perfectly understandable from not English native speaker.

The course is not just theoretical, but it contains also some pratical hints to improve the way of studing.

Some hints are eye-opening.

Excellent course. This is my first course and i have learnt a lot from this course.Thanks to Dr.Barbara Oakley and Dr.Terrence helped me build right skills in order to have a proper learning in any Discipline.Thanks to UC San Diego university as well :)

Im very happy that I followed this course. It made me think and study differently. At my age, 35, Id like to really learn new stuff that interests me in the easiest end quickest way possible, not only succeed the exam I might have to take in the future.

I found in this course interesting and helpful ideas and research about the way our brains work and how we can improve our learning ability. The material was accesible and enjoyable. It can be helpful to people of all ages who are interested in learning.

Loved this course! I've always had trouble getting things to stick in my long term memory when studying, and now I know why!! I'm walking away with several new approaches to learn the things that are important. It will be interesting to see the results.

Fantastic course. Wish I would have taken this years ago to learn and retain concepts better. The course is very well taught and I love how it doesn't expire like so many other courses as it gives me time to review concepts and truly go at my own pace.

It's a fantastic course,very useful for students and everybody.Thanks for coursera for offering this course.I have learn alot by this course.Thank you so much for all the teachers who tough us very well,and all of the team of coursera for your hard work.

It really did what it told me it would do: it helped me learn how to learn. Before I started, I had hated learning, I had had enough, but now I'm excited to learn new things (my final semester starts tomorrow, so it came at the very best time it could)!!

Incredible course, with really valuable information!

If you are interested in how your brain works and what you can do to make it more efficient this is a MUST!

A very big THANK YOU to the lecturers and their efforts to bring this knowledge to the world!

I loved the way that Barbara and the professor handle the various topics, it was really a good push towards deveoloping a nice interest in neuroscience for my self, i will treat all the concepts learned in this course as a treasure! Thank you very much!

Learning is a lifestyle that we have in our life, whether we like it or not, and so it is crucial that you give this course a shot, as it will not only help you learn more efficiently but will have you attain a more sustainable and productive lifestyle.

This course was a great insight for me, as I plan to do my Master degree soon. After working for 10 years I already forgot how to be a student and do your best at the studies. I am very positive the knowledge I got at this course will help me a lot!

Very Good! I was able to understand the relationship between the brain and learning. I thought it would be nice to study by making good use of the concentration mode and the rest mode. Also, you get a lot of information you need for learning. thank you.

This is one of the most comprehensive courses on the subject of learning there is. I just wish the topics and the way this course is made, would become a standard in all schools worldwide. This would make the educational process more fun and intuitive.

My first mooc and certainly not my last. I learned a lot of valuable information. I think the most valuable concepts was the diffused mode, the importance of retrival practise and the all important sleep.

I will certainly be back on Coursera soon again.

Barbara made it so easy to retain the information. Her voice is very soothing. Every time she said "I'm Barbara Oakley, thanks for learning how to learn." I would say "Thank you, Barbara." I loved this course and I'm grateful that I was able to take it.

I loved it! I will definitely apply all of what i learned to my life. I liked a lot that it approached all of the test taking situation and anxiety tips to handle it. I wish i had this course several years before, but well, it's never too late, right?

Realmente es un curso que te llena de tantos conocimientos y diferentes formas de aprendizaje, entrevistan a diferentes personas y nos dan sus ejemplos de vida y como llevarlo en acción; sin duda alguna, es un excelente curso que todos deberían llevar!!

Inspiring and actionable. The instructors were engaging (loved them both, as well as their "guests") and the classes were fun! It truly re-ignited a passion for learning and helped me get out of the "low-energy" mode I found myself in for the last year.

It's my interesting experience in learning that course. With the knowledge and useful tips that be mentioned in the course, I have another perspective about how I can learn in an effective way. Thanks to the teachers and organizational teams! Great Job!
