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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
