This course reinforced many of the concepts presented in Barb's "Learning how to learn" MOOC and clicked with me on a personal and professional level. This course presented complex topics in a very effective manner and it is definitely time to start working with Direct Instruction across all grade levels and disciplines.

Well organized and takes highly complex material and breaks it down to where the material can be easily applied in a practical manner. I am not a full time early childhood educator but as a pediatric physical therapist, this is directly applicable to the teaching we do with our clients, both children and adults.

This is one of my best courses here. I am really fortunate that I had this opportunity to embrace the learning of how learning works and how neuroscience in teaching can help educators have this view and reflection in teaching our learners. I would love to learn more like this courses. Thank you so much.

Learning how to learn. I have never really thought of that before. Now I understand why some people including me has a hard time learning things even though we thought we are really studying hard enough to learn them. Thank you, Coursera for this free course. It was indeed very helful for everyone. ^ ^

This is a unique class on education, examining not only didactic technique but the biological rationale for understanding varying teaching methods. Moreover, I really enjoyed the instructors, who are quirky and charismatic. It's my favorite education class that I've taken.

Another brilliant inspirational and motivational course by Barbara Oakley and her team aimed especially at educators. If you struggle with students who do not perform well on tests, are unwilling to learn/ study, and tend to cramp for exams with low results, sign up!

I really enjoyed this course. The information was plain, simple, and insightful. It confirmed of theories I thought I knew and informed me of ones that I did not. I believe I will be a better teacher because of the information I received.

This course changes not only the way I teach but also the way I learn. Using what I've learned from the course, I've managed to get 100% in a final quiz for the first time!

This course is designed to help teachers under how the brain really learns. This should be a must for all teachers as it is both practical and enlightening to the teaching profession.

I really loved this course, it made me understand the way my daughter learns (she is a hiker). The Pomodoro Technique really worked for her and now she feels more confident.
