Awesome! It was super useful for me. I realized things about my own head I could not imagine. And reevaluated my memory, that turned out to be pretty good. Everything works better, when you “read the instructions”.

I recommend this course!

I really learned a lot in this course. Thanks to Dr. Barbara Oakley

In fact, I strongly suggest this course to be included in the school curriculum. From the start the student will know how to study effectively. The results will be awesome.

This course really helped me remember what I've known before and gave me a lot of insights at the same time. I'm definitely a different person now with a better understanding of how my brain works. Thank you a LOT for your tremendous work.

Every learner and teacher will benefit from this course. The presentation is clear and fun, and you feel as if it is a real classroom setting. All concepts are backed by science, but the explanation is very simple for anyone to understand.

Love the material and the way the whole course was build. What is profondly helpful is how the neuroscience that is used and put foward as to why such ways of learning are more efficient. Thank you to the whole team for making this course.

I wish i knew about this course when i was in university , or even before that, when i was in school. A mandatory course for all teachers, learners, and new starters !! thank you Coursera and Dr. Barbara Oakley, and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski.

I enjoyed taking this course I got a lot out of it and will use a lot of the techniques in future tests and other challenges to come and will teach it to my child when the time comes for him to endeavor in stressful test taking situations.

This course is definitely a must for all those involved in education. As an eternal student, I find it incredibly useful to anyone who wishes to have a better understanding of how our brains work and how we can make learning more effective

There is so much good material here. This is a course I went through carefully and thoroughly. I enjoyed watching the videos multiple times and reading the transcripts. The optional readings and interviews are well worth it. Excellent!

This course was very easy to follow and provided me with some effective tools which has already helped me with my everyday tasks in my job. Dr. Oakleys passion for learning made the different learning topics very interesting and humorous.

It's a pretty neat course, definitely couples well with the current book I'm reading, "How We Learn". I really enjoyed how each section wasn't filled with too much content to complete in one week, they know how to space out their material.

I wish someone explained learning to me in this kind of way, when I was in high school or even before. But it's never to late to learn! It has changed the way I learn and I have learned how to overcome procrastination. Deeply recommend it.

THIS IS A FANTASTIC COURSE!!!

I can't believe the secrets these persons gave here, are so simple and unknown.

THANK YOU REALLY! You have changed me, and I am sure you changed the other persons who studied here.

Greetings, and God bless you!

I saw this course in Open Source Science University in GitHub and decided that I would take it. I am just in the introductory part yet but it already taught me a lot of things. I will change my evaluation later once I complete this course!

Simple and effective.

A quick introduction to the biology of the human brain, and how to leverage it to your advantage when confronted with difficult subjects, or high-stress examinations.

Recommended for all students, studying at any level.

I made a few valuable connections between some of the things I have been doing well in the past in trying to learn new skills, and some things that just don't work. Now I can concentrate on the "chunking" tips that work on my next classes.

Quite intuitive that this course suggests the best ways to learn by explaining by explaining how our brains fundamentally work in plain language. The ideas make sense to me and I would alter my way of studying based on what I learnt here.

Este curso es un regalo, vale la pena hacerlo :) te brinda información relevante para llevar tu aprendizaje a otro nivel, te impulsa a cambiar viejos patrones de estudio completamente obsoletos, te motiva a seguir aprendiendo... Fabuloso!

Хорошо сформированный материал, легок в восприятии. Слушая лекции даже в первый раз, создается впечатление, что ты уже это знал/изучал. Думаю, причина в том, что язык, которым пытаются донести материал, крайне доступен и легко-усваиваемый

Good for pretty much every person who wants to understand better how their brain works when it comes to learning, concentration and understanding. The course has many useful tools and interviews to wide your vision on the learning ground.

In spite of being somewhat boring at the beginning, the way the ideas and information are presented by the professor grabs the attention right away. I wish they had taught this course when I was in my 20's before I started the university.

This course was engaging and has changed my life. I have realised I could have been more successful in my studies if I had used the techniques outlined. I encourage all students to study this course even if halfway through their studies.

Really useful. Even though I've been out of school a long time, this course reminded me that learning is a lifelong tool, and one that needs to be kept in working order. I look forward to utilizing these techniques in my every day life.

Course gives you insight on various tools which help us how to concentrate on our study & develop ourselves to learn new things. Get to know very good techniques to form good habits to concentrate on study & as well as learn new subjects.

I highly recommend this course to anyone who struggles with procrastination and wants to improve their study habits. Although the course could be a bit more concise, it offers a lot of useful study strategies in a very comprehensible way.
