Probably the most important course I've ever taken in my life and it was completely free. Already applied many of the concepts and have seen the difference. Do yourself a favor and take this course.

Very useful. Explained how the brain - mind and memory - works, and showed techniques for learning more effectively. Wish I'd known about this stuff while I actually went to high-school and college!

In short this course could help to many people if they would learn it early in the school. I have struggled with learning a lot of years until I found this course by accident. Thank you Barbara and the team.

I am 54 years old and, although impossible to have taken it when I studied my career back in the 80's, I regret not have taken it before. First thing I will do now is tell my kids to take it. Thanks a LOT.

This course has achieved the impossible simplicity. Rather than presenting many concepts just theoritically, the course has focused on examples and metaphors. The course instructor has done also a great job.

"Learning How to Learn" has created a great impact in my learning habits which were far from effective. It has triggered an entire new approach to the relationship between living habits and learning results.

A great course based on their book. I read the book - but found that watching the videos created deeper learning. I procrastinate less now! Thank you to Dr. Oakley! I will get into med school because of you!

It helps me to build confidence in learning a new thing after my graduation from the university. Even though I cannot pay an expensive university in USA, but I can still learn good materials on the Internet.

Take a step back and check if your learning techniques are in good shape! It´s an eye-opening course that you'll want to retake every now and then. I'll definitely come back to this course every month or so!

With this course I learned not only about learning but also how my brain works and many words from English. It is interesting and encouraging, as long as it shows you that your limit is the sky.
