I found this course to be incredibly helpful. I am 33 and wish that I would have been taught a more efficient way of learning many years ago. There are definitely some great takeaways from this class.

This class really focused on the process of learning. It taught me so much. I even shared ideas with my college and high school student. They were surprised as some concepts were helpful to them also.

Very good course!. Easy, useful, well structured and mild. Thank you very much. Only one suggestion: I found the exercises and tests extremely useful to reinforce the learning but some times there were unnecesarily tricky.

Me ayudó bastante no sólo a entender los procesos en que el cerebro aprende mejor, sino también me hizo adquirir nuevamente el interés por el aprendizaje, algo que había perdido hace tiempo por estudiar de manera equivocada.

This course was insightful and helped me think of learning in a different way. While I knew of many of these techniques before it made me understand the psychological aspect of it which made me understand the bigger picture.

I have a PhD , and yet this course improved my learning skills, and made me aware of unproductive approaches to avoid. I know much more about how to deal with procrastination, and how to help study groups be more effective.

I've been using this kind of techniques for learning for a while now and have to say I was a lost soul wondering a sea of knowledge before learning how to swim. After going through this course, I at least can start paddling.

The concepts of learning were made easy to understand.
The problems involved with learning were explained and the solutions to the problems actually work.
The modules were engaging and not too long, not to short- just right!

Excellent videos and excellent explanations of the professors.
However I was very disappointed by the cost of the certificate and the fact that it could not be acquired as free, proving that I actually have passed the course

This was a fantastic course. Thanks for going so deep. I love how you discuss it from the neurological and psychological angle. I feel this will provide me with the skills I need to consume other courses as well. THANK YOU!

This facinating class has already improved how much I retain from other classes I'm taking. I now better understand my ability to remember things, and I am thrilled with the results of using the mental tools that it teaches.

I've learned so much and can't express how priceless this information has been. I only wish this was something I could have earlier in my life. I think high school would have been a good time or just after before college.

Amazing. Best course out of all Coursea simply because of the fact that it not only teaches you how to learn other courses or other studies, but it helps you learn anything at all. Great Coursea. 11/10 would recommend again

Would definitely recommend this MOOC to anyone. As the title says, taking this course would help you in developing the "mental tools to help you" in your life long journey of learning. As a wise man once said, "Just Do It".

Интересный курс, какие-то вещи кажутся очевидными, но всё очень хорошо структурировано и отлично подается, с научным обоснованием материала. Интересные дополнительные материалы и интервью, раскрывающие вопросы более широко.

Very interesting course. All important issues of learning processes are highlighted. However, for practice, each issue must be dealt with independently by other sources. It will take ten times more time to do this.
Thank you

Had a great time figuring out that I really don't know anything because I've never taken the time to learn anything appropriately. This class would have been really useful when I was in college before I received my degree.
