A great course for learners to know more about how to learn and give them a fresh perspective about learning and being successful in life. A great sequel after the renowned MOOC Learning How to Learn.

Great course! This is a lot more general than Learning about Learning but is also useful nonetheless. I like the focus on keeping positive and being confident in your potential despite our weaknesses.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Drs. Oakley and Sejnowski are true subject matter experts and know how to convey complex subject matter in entertaining and understandable ways. I highly recommend this course to everyone.

This Mindshift course really helped me to accept that we also have to add other skills and not be stuck with just one skill. Besides that, it also made me more open minded and changed my mindset. Great, thank you very much.

An excellent followup to Learning How to Learn.
It touches again on ideas from LHTL, and explains them in more detail using easy to understand images and metaphors.
Another excellently presented course.
Extremely helpful.

This course is very essential. It should be one of the first MOOCs you take. I was able to learn new skills and gain the confidence needed to pursue my Masters Degree. The lecturer Barbara Oakley is also really great!!!

The course is designed and executed in very systematic way. It was very interactive and engaging. The complex topics are made easier to understand and broken in small topics to make them simpler. Tanks to Barbera and team.

It is so simple with too many things to learn. I loved the way of presenting the information. plus the length of the videos was not too long and that made it easy to understand and digest the information. thank you so much

This re enforces the work you learned in learning to learn and then some I enjoyed doing both of them. Barbra is easy to listen to and explains things very well. I wish she had been my teacher in school. This is a must do

It is a very entertaining course, it uses metaphors to understand better concepts and help me see my disadvantage as an advantage. It is well explained and easy to understand and both of the professors are very engaging.

Every video and reading of the course bind the students till the end of the course. I found this course keeps motivated and helps the people who is willing to shift carrier in the area which they feel are not skilled.

An excellent course. I have been a teacher for over 31 years and I accept that I must learn to teach. The new generations require that we know how they learn with the new technologies being friendly with their brains.

Taking this course allowed me to understand that I have my own learning style, and to stop comparing my way of learning to others. I now understand my own needs better and can express the why in a more effective way.

Barbara has given a great gift to students. I hope that courses like Mindshift and Learning How to Learn will be made available to urban and rural students in a manner that is just as appealing as the originals!!!!
