This course helped me a lot on realizing what I was missing and the real mistake that I've ever made. By fixing my cognition in learning, it gave me a better chance to study and retain more than ever.

A thank you is a really small word to the acknowledge the change which the course has made in my life. I am thankful to Mrs. Babara Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski's teaching and to the whole team of Coursera for providing such a wonderful platform to help students learn how to learn.

This course helped me in a great way. I realized why i wasn't able to score more despite being hardworking. These tips and tricks should be taught in schools at a younger age so that many children learn and don't make so many mistakes and regret later. Better late than never !!

Very interesrting. I thought learning is simply, just that, learning. But this course breaks down our brain, our habits and environement we are in and examine how each of theses factors affect our learning. I simply didnt know there is a scientific approach to learn. Thank you.

This course is pretty useful for teachers as well als learners - and especially for teachers who think they are learners all the time anyways. There is so much background and neurobiology in that it is really worth trying. Even if you already found your own methods of learning.

I enjoyed listening to Barbara and Terry. They presented the topic with an enthusiasm that made me so interested to listen to the next lecture. May be a bit more details or more practical exercises. Otherwise the course was engaging, informative and useful.
Thank you very much.

Complete and well explained. The instructors speak clearly and do not try to give a lot of information per speech by speaking at 200 mph. They use great analogies to help us understand and memorize the information. I learned a lot and had a wonderful time. I recommend it 100%.

A wonderful course that I think should be taken annually! Let's remind our selves that how we approach learning is as important as what we are trying to learn. Definitely picked up a few helpful hints, and emotionally won't be as hard on myself for procrastinating and resting!

I would recommend this class to EVERYONE. I loved the spaced out content. I love the neural and cognitive explanations. I loved Barb. I liked the little quizzes and questions we followed up with. I think more activities would be great. I wanted to engage more with the content!

An amazing course, which gives you insight to many concepts and knowledge. It should be taught at the beginning of school to make students life easier. At the last week they provide you with excellent tips for test taking methods and anxiety.
Thanks a lot for this great course.

I will never see sleep as a waste of time thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski. We have to rest to allow our brains to make connections and improving our performance, even if it sounds as a cliché I have to say to myself: I only regret not finding this course before. Thanks.

Wonderful engagement and enthusiasm for the material. I enjoyed seeing educators delve into the process of learning rather than the mechanical bubble test format that is passed off as learning in our society today. Thanks for the great effort you put into this lovely course.
