Awesome course. Doing Pomodoros has completely changed how I approach focus activity, but I never would have tried the technique without the context provided by this course. And that's just one example! Highly recommended.

Very good course!. Easy, useful, well structured and mild. Thank you very much. Only one suggestion: I found the exercises and tests extremely useful to reinforce the learning but some times there were unnecesarily tricky.

Me ayudó bastante no sólo a entender los procesos en que el cerebro aprende mejor, sino también me hizo adquirir nuevamente el interés por el aprendizaje, algo que había perdido hace tiempo por estudiar de manera equivocada.

This course was insightful and helped me think of learning in a different way. While I knew of many of these techniques before it made me understand the psychological aspect of it which made me understand the bigger picture.

I have a PhD , and yet this course improved my learning skills, and made me aware of unproductive approaches to avoid. I know much more about how to deal with procrastination, and how to help study groups be more effective.

I've been using this kind of techniques for learning for a while now and have to say I was a lost soul wondering a sea of knowledge before learning how to swim. After going through this course, I at least can start paddling.

The concepts of learning were made easy to understand.
The problems involved with learning were explained and the solutions to the problems actually work.
The modules were engaging and not too long, not to short- just right!

Excellent videos and excellent explanations of the professors.
However I was very disappointed by the cost of the certificate and the fact that it could not be acquired as free, proving that I actually have passed the course

This facinating class has already improved how much I retain from other classes I'm taking. I now better understand my ability to remember things, and I am thrilled with the results of using the mental tools that it teaches.

I've learned so much and can't express how priceless this information has been. I only wish this was something I could have earlier in my life. I think high school would have been a good time or just after before college.

Amazing. Best course out of all Coursea simply because of the fact that it not only teaches you how to learn other courses or other studies, but it helps you learn anything at all. Great Coursea. 11/10 would recommend again
