Probably the most important course I've ever taken in my life and it was completely free. Already applied many of the concepts and have seen the difference. Do yourself a favor and take this course.

Very helpful. Deceptively easy, but it's actually quite useful and applicable to real life. As an undergrad of UCSD, I wish I had known about this course at orientation but now I'm an alumni lol. Still feels good to learn about learning, though.

I think it is good for some people, I mean i learned a lot about human brain in this course, but most of the "good advices" and techniques mentioned in videos were used by me subconciously, still would recommend for knowledge about human brain.

Easy to digest course. Many of those are just common sense things but nevertheless I've learned few new techniques which I hope will stay with me for my whole life and make learning (not in school anymore) better - for that I am giving 5 stars.

I believe everyone that is not familiar with the ideas in this course should take this. It is helpful for everything you do in life basically. It provides very practical tips and tricks while at the same time explaining the science behind them.

Worth every penny. All kidding aside, I found this refreshing, learned quite a few new techniques, and now have some ideas to discuss with colleagues at work. It is never too late to learn how to learn. -Professor of Internal Medicine, age >50.

Very interesting and useful in order to get more efficient in learning.
It was a pleasure to listen to Barbara and Terry, the way they give access to people like me (non professional at all in science) so much knowledge with facility.
Thank You !
