The 'Best course' on effective learning, I've found so far online.

The information and techniques presented in the course, are very effective in every phase of life.

I truly appreciate the great efforts made by the instructors and all the people involved towards building such a nice informative and innovative course.

This course is well organized. The concepts and techniques are patiently illustrated by the teacher. Some of the optional interviews are also very helpful. I really appreciate the one with Keith Devlin. Thank you Mrs. Oakley for this wonderful course which is a true instruction manual for how to use our brain to learn!

Very useful course! Specially if you are in school or college, but good for anyone! Very practical, interesting and inspiring, great tips. I enjoyed it very much. Now I have a very clear idea of how to study to learn (not to just pass a test) and I will be able to help my son very soon with these techniques. Thumbs up.

I found this extremely helpful. I recently retired at 73, but this has given me the impetus to continue to give it a try to work in a consulting capacity. It is just another challenge in life, but thanks to the course, it will be a little more enjoyable. Thank you for all the ideas, that will help me in the future.

This course is incredible for any caliber of students, but I would personally suggest it more for high school students because it sets you up with positive studying habits that will help you survive the terrain of higher education, the instructors are lovely and the material is well-prepared and thoroughly researched

For students, reskilling employees, researchers, and even aged individuals who are willing to get into a new path of knowledge and experience, this course is a meaningful choice. I don't want to overpraise but it will give a new reform to your learning methods and habits. Thank you Dr.Barbara, and thank you Dr.Terry .

I am many years beyond my formal education and at an earlier point, about 15 years ago, thought I would be hard pressed to take on new learning tasks. I have been pleasantly finding out that I can still be a decent student, and this course has helped me considerably. Thanks very much to the teachers and other staff.

I loved it very much , it helped me in improving my skills and trying to find my passion by learning and have a great energy to do great things , it is my pleasure to have this course from you doctors. It gave a good insight of the learning methodologies which we have often heard of but not given due importance.

Best course ever. I have explored many seminars and mooc to understand the science of learning and recalling. I have found this course very helpful to understand how our mind works, because only then we can harness the power of mind. I recommend all of you to take this course and make the best use of yourself.

A great course that I should have taken long ago. But taking this course at any stage of your life is worth it. The course is well planned, well presented and keeps the interest live throughout the length of course.

Thank you very much and I will spread the word to all members of my family, friends and acquaintances.

This course not only changed my mindset, it also change my life. It sounds like a cliche but I truly noticed a change in myself. I became more confident to take other courser on subjects that I thought were too difficult to learn, and I had success! That has helped me to get new opportunities at my university and job.

This course is unique and brilliant. All the techniques and observations in this work are backed up by scientific studies. Students will understand learning is not an auto-pilot activity, but deliberate practice. Thanks to an amazing instructor for making this course and helping out thousands of students in the world.

Now I have an entirely new perspective about the process of learning. This course took me to a new horizon regarding learning and retaining information. I urge every learner or scholar in any field to take this course. I am sure they won't regret the time spent on it. Thank you very much Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski .

Wonderful Course, wonderful professors.. I really enjoyed to see how we can improve our learning process though a very wide range of videos, examples, texts, and great, great interviews!! I really enjoy Professor Barbra!! I want to met her pesonally to hear her historys while she was in Antarctica!!! Thanks everyone!!

The course has amazing content. It's a very structured with an interesting approach. For someone who procrastinates a lot, I didn't get bored! I wish we had this course way back in High School. So many tips and my favorites are the Pomodoro and the Memory Palace techniques. I highly recommend this course for everyone.

Best course I ever had so far!!! I love the way the two main professors teach in these great fantastic videos, I love the speed they talk and it really makes sense to me. I really love these interviews that Barbara did with those great people in different areas. It's really worth my time!!!! I can't appreciate more!!!

It was the first course that I finished in Coursera and I loved it. I really got excited about what I was learning and I've been using it in my work and in my stydy. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It was the incentive that I needed to invest in myself again and learn new things that I always wanted to know.

This course is an excellent mix of practical exercises and lessons, mixed with deeper understanding of principles found in the science of learning, helping students understand how the brain learns and how we process and store information.

I think this is a superb class for a subject that is highly relevant to everyone.

It was very enjoyable and helpful. As a sociologist I found all the topics very intersesting because you managed to keep it both professional and easy-going. Excelent teachers, very insipiring. I believe that everbody can watch it and understand it. Thank you for this course and I hope we will see more in the future.

The course was very insightful. I learned a lot and it helped me gain a different perspective on how to study compared to traditional study methods. Understanding how one thinks and learning ways to correct common misconceptions would be very helpful and in realizing one's own study style and become a better learner.

I have really enjoyed this course, a lot more than I thought I would. Doing this course has made me think about my own learning techniques and what I have been doing right or wrong. It was really interesting and it has inspired me to look more into how to be a better learner. I would definiteky recommend this course.

i am tremendously happy for enrolling to such a great course like that it helped me a lot ,every single information that i have learnt helped me in my ordinary life ,i have been more aware a bout every thing happens to me ,i ma really honored for covering my free time by attending to this course,thank you so much

Realmente disfrute este curso, me mantuve motivado en aprender y me resultaron muy útiles los conocimientos que adquirí, he logrado modificar algunos hábitos y he mejorado mi productividad. Ahora quiero seguir profundizando en el tema y compartir este conocimiento con otras personas. Gracias y saludos desde Colombia.

This course presents a number of strategies which will definitely make your learning more effective -- if you apply them! Spaced retrieval, one of the key strategies, is notorious for not being applied even by students who have been exposed to the research on its value. So, learn how to learn, and go out and DO IT!

After having spent years away from any structured or institutional learning, this course gave me a great set of tools, perspectives, and strategies that are making the undertaking of resuming study much less of a 'boogeyman' - I can't thank Barb and Terry enough for bringing this course to fruition. Thanks, everyone.
