Excellent course. Highly recommended. Learnt a new way of passing tests and understand how my brain works. I can apply these techniques to more efficiently learn other subjects. This has turbo boost my learning skills. Thank you.

The videos and contents are well organised in chunks which make them easy to follow and learn along. Many useful tips and tricks have been shared in the course which brought a new insight for me as a learner as well as a teacher!

I love this course. this course teaches me to learn new things easier because Babara makes me understand how the brain works. when you understand it you can get along it and more fun when you learn new things. you should try it!.

Great course in learning how to implement effective ways of studying. This course instructs students in: studying habits, procrastination, test taking, and activities to increase learning potential. Loved learning how to learn!

Barbara is super inspiring! I leaned so far lots of useful tricks to how to learn better. I also appreciate very much the extra reading lists.

Every course is easy to follow, it brings new info and it builds on previous knowledge.

Super useful class. I wish I had learned this material decades ago (I am in my 40s). I'm excited to apply these techniques to help myself learn more now! The optional interviews and readings are also excellent.

Highly recommended!

It was a really good course that gave a very nice summary of the important concepts related to what happens to the brain during the act of learning. Would strongly recommend this course to everybody who has taken any MOOC course.

Nice, I liked this course. Those students or people who are facing problems with learning new things or procrastination they can join this course to learn how to overcome these problems. Very effective course to help in learning.

Best starting point before any kind of learning! If you want to understand how your brain is working, what are tips and tricks, and how to really learn and not just waste time over book then this is most important course for you.

Enjoyed the entire course! Learnt more than I expected

The curriculum was well structured and meaningful.

Beneficial tips were given throughout the course.

Objectives were met with a breeze.

My knowledge has been enhanced thoroughly.

I got a lot out of this course. I am now paying particular attention to using the focused and diffuse modes of thinking, and spaced repetition in my learning - and the pomodoro technique for everything from academia to housework!

This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the coursera learning experience and is relevant to any other learning endeavors you might have in all aspects of life. I recommend taking it before any other courses on the sight.

I learned a a lot about effective learning and maximizing the potential. I think I should have taken this course before I started my high school in 2001.

I recommend to every individual to take this course without any hesitation.

While most of this information can easily be found elsewhere, it's a great refresher course if you have learned this stuff, and a well organized introduction if you haven't. The thing that puts it over the edge is the Interviews.

The course exceeded my expectations.

My main reason for doing the course was to give me ideas as to how to learn a new language (my third) after the age of 60 and in a new country and environment. Needless to say, I am encouraged!

This course provides me with a new perspective on learning and teaches me some methods to avoid procrastination! If you're someone who wants to learn how to learn, welcome! You'll find the approach that is most suitable for you.

This course is amazing and the only thing I can say to express all the gratitude I have to the genius that made it is to recommended to whoever is reading this. It will change your life and the perspective you have about things.

This is a very excellent course in every discipline of life. It includes powerful mental techniques like recall, taking tests, Einstellung effect, procrastination, how to avoid it, and many other things. It's a very good course.

Excelente! obligatorio, si no entendemos como funciona el cerebro, ¿como vamos a usarlo eficientemente?

I have found this course incredibly useful. I have noticed some very helpful changes in my approach to learning by using some of the learning techniques from the course. Highly recommend if you find learning things challenging.

Great "eyes opening" course! I learnt a lot of new things during these couple weeks. Even if you are familiar with some of the topics it will help you to structurize knowledge. Great stuff! Thank you fot teaching how to learn :)

Muy buen curso, increíblemente útil. Algunas técnicas ya las conocía pero otras nos y las que conocía me ayudo a recordarlas y a saber que las debo poner en practica. Gracias a los creadores de este curso por enseñar a aprender.
