Very straight forward and helpful information. To me, the pace of the course seemed slow at first, but I think that helped to add emphasis on the importance of understanding what happens in our brains that enables us to learn.

This course has been an eye opening experience for me, I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with learning anything ,the course teachers are immensely helpful and explain the concepts in a beautifully simple manner.

The course provided some very powerful ideas on how to become a more effective learner. If would be the best if this course is taken together with another that gives more in-depth review of the neuro processes behind learning.

Fantastic MOOC, helped me alot on recovering my focus and "zombies".

The most helpful tool I'm using is the pomodoro technique described in the course.

The daily task list is also a very useful way of setting objectives everyday

Very useful, interesting, and helpful. It really helped me understand how come I memorized some stuff easier than others. I've learned so much on how to learn and I've been applying it for other courses. Highly recommended.

Thanks !

This is my first finished Coursera course. It's really nice of you to providing this online course. I think someday in the future, when I have some ripe course idea, I will do the same thing. Keep learning.

i really enjoyed the insights and methods involved i am also applying this not only to this course and the ones to come but also applying it to my current job as well and it is helping me to find new ways to learn new things.

Barbara has a very clear, unique, sincere way of communication. The videos combine useful information with some humor which makes the information stick better. I would have really enjoyed having her as a teacher for anything.

I learn efficient use of time, achievement of goals, elimination of boredom, getting rid of bad habits, ability to set goals, work from easy to difficult and so on. very useful course. thank you all who organized this course.

It was a very addictive course!

I would like to learn more from Dr. Barbara Oakley, she was very calm and contagious.

I am sad that I completed the videos ... but I am also happy with what I learned !!!

Thank you very much!!!

Amazing course. I am a professional Software Engineer with more than a decade of experience. I still found this course super useful to understand how to optimise my learning and growth.

Thanks a lot for such an awesome course.

This course should be mandatory for every student and parent! It would save a lot of stress for kids, who rate themselves based on academic success.

It has some really useful tips and tricks that are easy to remember and try.

This class was easy, fun, and very great information for me to know and accomplish in a whole day! I love learning new things, and this class was a good amount of time with its pacing, work load, and application of knowledge!

Really I enjoyed the course very much and it make it how to use my brain and to make things i have never been dreamed that my brain can do .. Thanks for all who this great efforts to make such this important and great course.

I am wondering I did NOT even know since my birth how to learn scientifically and effectively. By the grace of the almighty, I know it now. Thanks to the team, the institute behind this magnificent course as well as Coursera!

This course is valuable for anyone with a desire to learn new things. It informs you how to approach your learning in a considered way and how to deal with problems when you get stuck. I wish I had known this in high school.

Great way of learning about the mind and how it works. This helps greatly in achieving better results when learning, studying or working. Thank you so much for putting this together, I am sure it will be tremendously helpful.

This is a great course for everyone. Some very simple tools are shared by the instructors which can help learners get over procrastination, and get the most out of study sessions. Useful tips to ace the exams are also shared.

Excellent course. Changed the way of learning the new things.

Many concepts about Test Preparation, Pomodoro Technique etc explained very nicely. Metanicely.

I enjoyed my lerning with this course.

Thank you for being with us.

This course really helped me to understand different ways to improve my learning and thinking abilities. I would recommend others to follow this course since it makes you learn about the things which we think we already know.

I like the way material is presented. As mention in the course, our education system more bother about result of learning. But first time, I learned the process of learning itself. Very useful when I study any new material.

This course is amazing. I found out why I have failed so much in my studies so far. This course should be taken in all elementary schools. That way everyone would understand the importance of studying and how to really study.
