Very interesting content and effective teaching. However, the quizzes are too easy so in order to really benefit from the course I think it's important to take responsibility and do retrieval practice "offline".

Awesome Course, thanks very much to Barbara Oakley.

You make me understand, What I have done badly in my life and point it out how to fix it. Thank you

My first and more enjoyable MOOC. After this one, my way of learning has change for ever. Thanks so much.

Really useful information that can be applied to ANYTHING

What an excellent and practical course!

helped me a lot!

Lots of new insights about learning, very useful.

very useful knowledge

As a chronic procrastinator, I usually get work done in the most stressful way possible because I've never found the motivation to get past all the excuses I make for not starting earlier, even after researching so many study techniques and hacks. This course has been amazing in explaining the reasons that commonly praised techniques work in terms of how our brain actually functions. For example, I have heard that revising at longer intervals will help you remember more information. In contrast, Barbara Oakley explains that spaced repetition will consolidate information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory, as the information won't be considered unimportant and erased from your neural networks. Knowing why these techniques work really motivates me to actually use them.I learnt so many new approaches to studying and life in general in LHTL. I highly recommend it as a way to boost productivity, minimise stress and feel better about the process of studying as something to look forward to, now that there's a framework behind it!

This is the best course I have ever taken.

Highly recommended if you are interested in becoming a better learner. Especially useful for students. tons of useful optional material as well.

very good course

Exceptionally good

All teachers and high school students should take it as baseline training to enhance innovation and good use of acquired knowledge

One of the best self-development courses I have ever taken

This course is one of the greatest courses on the coursera. Though it is free, it provides valueble information and tools to help anyone who is trying to learn something new.

the best thing i have ever learned in my life, this is an essential skill that every person needs in order to perform better in any aspect of his life.

Excellent material and the optional interviews should not be optional.

Thanks Dr. Barbara and Dr.Terrence for such enlightening material.

Very Useful and fantastic course

The world needs more Barbara Oakleys. Fantastic course and definitely a recommendation to anyone interested in taking any courses online. The material was amazing and wholesome enough to achieve the purpose, and Mrs Barbara's teaching style, passion and her enthusiasm moved my heart. I'm changed in the way I view learning now and I feel more ready to approach it. Her efforts in compiling this comprehensive information and additional interviews and reading/video materials were just too good. Dr Terrence was amazing and I loved everything he had to say, both together we're able to take a wholesome approach to tackling so many issues. Thank you so much for your efforts, I bet there are too many that feel the same as I do.

A really insightful course on learning practically.

A great investment for your mind.

This is a very interesting course. I've gained a better understanding on the the learning process, how the brain works on keeping the information, what are the most common errors or obstacle on learning something new and some useful habit or tricks to learn in a more fruitful fashion. I've really appreciate the competence and teach style of the two teachers which I'd like to thank for their work. I strongly recommend this course, especially for students in high school and University because it contains helpful information on how to be more proficient in text or exams. The course could seem less apt for workers and employees, but for someone who wants to get better in what he does and fails on regular basis, this should be a great starting point.

It's a game changer!

very useful course for students
