This is my first course at coursera platform and I enjoyed it. I've had the best experience of moocs learning and I loved the recall testing strategy which I found most helpful throughout the course.

I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

I did not expect this course to be so good. The content and the way is shown are very efficient and the professionals Barb Oakley and Sejnowski have been great teachers after all. Everyone should take the course to face life with other perspective.

Todos los estudiantes que ingresan a la universidad deberían recibir este curso antes de tomar las otras clases, pero si tu ya eres profesional y te gusta seguir aprendiendo antes de tomar otros cursos toma este y se te multiplicara tu aprendizaje.

A quick and easily accessible course to pick up learning skills. I've taken on all they have preached to immediately improve my skills of generating and embedding knowledge, plus sharing these great new skills with others.

Great work and thank you!

Inspiring, engaging, liberating and delivered in an easy-to-get-and-apply manner. And for people who want to learn - that is the purpose of Coursera after all ;-) - what better way than to get the right mindset, tips and tools? Highly recommend it.

Amazing and clear course. It really helped me discover new ways of learning which I hadn't payed attention to before. It also made me realize of some mistakes I've had in the past while studying. I am already applying what I've learned as we speak.

This course has changed my life for the better! I am no longer forcing myself to learn for hours at a time or staying up late. I am starting to exercise and meditate again. I can't say enough good things about this course. Don't sleep on this one.

Good if you want to make sure you're learning the right way... Some of the explainations intiutively come to your mind but it is how they present it in a way that you've never thought before what makes it effective tool for your learning.

Thanks!

This is the course that every learner, more precisely every human being should go through at least once in a lifetime. For, me this course helped to understand how my brain works and how to make things for it to bring out much better performance.

Great course!

Valuable concepts and recommendations to improve learning, with a scientific background. For those who aim to learn better to really be able to do new things, this is the course to take before going through the new learning objective.

The difficult concepts are served to us in a more delightful manner. Interviewing famous brain hackers describing their strategies while working on their tasks gives special edge over the concepts.

Feeling fortunate after going through this course.

I so wish I did this course before starting college and not after finish it, my college life would have been so much easier. They don't teach us these skills in school or college, unfortunately. Thank you Barbara and Terrence for this great input.
