Didn't learn as much as expected about learning how to learn. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Really basic, with some interesting stuff but could be reduced to a third of the time...

Very basic and useful only for the students in high school... not for professionals.

Boring techniques for remembering.

Nothing related to learning or understanding.

i think the coming classes will be great more than that ... but it's good

The interview at the end was the best part of this course.

لماذا لا تهتموا بطرق فعالة لطلبة طب بشري

extremely easy and sparse content.

I want it to be more exciting.

superb course I ever had

The entirety of this course could be condensed into a few paragraphs, and some neatly organized bullet points. A lot of talk about learning new things, but apparently couldn't bother to learn some basic audio balancing and normalization. This course was recommended within another course so I completed it out of principle, but I will be more discerning with how I spend my time from now on. A lot of people claim " 'XYZ' is the most helpful thing ever.", while they champion rather generic self-help content. This is one of those things. I am incredibly disappointed with the time I wasted on this.

Unstructured information, a lot of metaphors and water, all information spread over several videos but could fit in 2-3 videos. Very bad quality of sound and visual, brain resources were used to balance this chaos of jumping volume and images instead of memorizing information.

ME DECEPCIONA LA FALTA DE TRADUCCIÓN AL ESPAÑOL.

NO puedo responder las preguntas porque no sé inglés.

Espero se solucione este problema para continuar.

Gracias.

Many waste-of-time videos, very little information, the information that it DOES contain is not nuanced and has no room for varying neurotypes.

videos look like they were made in 1992. Boring, dry delivery. Took a lot of effort to slog through, but I finally made it. Thank the Force

It was really useless and boring. The authors give some obvious advices which everyone can find in social networks.

Decent basic overview if you know nothing about the subject. Probably useful for children or adolescents.

I didn't want to take this course and cannot figure out how to get it deleted from my course list!!!

Too long and boring, im sorry. i can see the purpose but if it was modernised it would be better

The instructors were really bad, it was painful to listen to the course information.

Not an interesting course. Nothing new besides the Pomodoro Technique

Tedious and should be entirely optional.

Fuck this shit

I broke every rule of efficient and effective learning until I met this course, Dr. Barbara Oakley Dr. Terrence Sejnowski, and the book: “A Mind for Numbers”.

I wish I had met your group and this powerful vehicle of learning earlier –university wouldn’t have been so costly (studying the inefficient way) and the rewards could be even more phenomenal with this awareness. Nevertheless, your incredible work will continue to help mitigate the cost.

Although I maintained good grades through university primarily because of my high enthusiasm, interest and determination to achieve excellence in life–long learning, but the personal cost was undue stress –over studying, keeping many late nights, dependency on caffeine and life-work-family balance. However, I imagined there had to be a better way.

The frustrations and occasionally being at my wits end in solving some of the problems in the computer programming languages I am currently learning have instantly dissipated because of this course. I have completely changed my old and inefficient learning methods and formed new habits for learning.

Amazingly, I failed to solve the triangle problem on the first try at the end of a long day of work and study (after staring at it for about 45mins) in the book: “A Mind For Numbers” by Dr. Barbara Oakley. However, determined, I gave it another shot the next morning, right after waking up -it took me less than 30 seconds to solve. You’ve got to love the diffuse mode…

While I love academia and stand ready to dance with whatever pain it dishes out at me in my life-long learning journey, this course has single-handedly removed current and whatever inherent or perceived pain that may be associated with life-long academic learning for me.

There is a better way to rote learning method -a different, efficient and effective approach… Academic goal or any subject matter no longer need to take many years of painful endurance to achieve or master.

This course has armed me with the ultimate set of tools to expertly construct efficient and effective learning methods with measureable success. Essentially, I have learned how to hack my academic growth and goal.

Finally, in the past, I stumbled upon one or two of the methods taught in this course in academic journals and other articles. However, these occasional, inconsistent and isolated pieces of information were not cohesive to form a powerful enough force to help build a fundamental understanding and practice of efficient learning methods. Additionally, overpowering the well-formed habit of the inefficient rote learning method was a challenge.

Fortunately, this course and the book: “A Mind For Numbers” by Dr. Barbara Oakley, compiled and put all of these scientific data on efficient learning methods in to proper perspective, easy enough for anyone to understand and practice.

In the afterword chapter of the book, Dr. David B. Daniel said it best:

“There has long been a stream of potentially productive study advice coming from scientists. Unfortunately, it has seldom been translated so the average student can easily grasp and use it. Not every scientist has a knack for translation, and not every writer has a firm grasp of the science. In this book, Barbara Oakley threaded this needle beautifully. Her use of vivid examples and explanations of the strategies reveals not only how useful but how credible these ideas are.”

Thank you Dr. Barbara Oakley and the Learning How to Learn Team for a job well done! Your work is indelible in my mind and I can be certain, in others too.
