The "Mindshift" course on Coursera, developed by McMaster University and taught by Dr. Barbara Oakley, focuses on unlocking your potential through learning strategies and career transformation. It explores how to overcome obstacles like procrastination, leverage diverse skills (the "talent stack"), and embrace mindshifts—deep changes in thinking or career paths—at any age. Key topics include the focused and diffuse modes of learning, the Pomodoro technique, the neuroscience of learning, and the value of lifelong learning. The course emphasizes practical tools like meditation, reframing negative emotions, and integrating unrelated skills for innovation.

It's a lot of easy basic ideas about learning. It's not horrible advice if you're a slower learning or need advice in learning how to learn. I think this course would be great for people who need a bit of encouragement about learning. Or if they're new to MOOCs or learning in general. It's not bad information. Just be aware that if you're taking more difficult courses or have read books or are a more advanced learner, this course doesn't have much to offer.

Some of the professor's viewpoints are extremely biased and don't represent findings in modern neuroscience. The unnecessary inclusion of gender politics really turned me off the course material and made me lose credibility in the instructor.

A lot less substance compared to the original course. The only usefull info in the first two parts of the course (I stopped after that) was the mention of Alex Vermeer' guide to defeat procrastination.

Some valuable information, but delivery can get excruciating. Finished with honours but did not receive a certificate indicating that.

The course was a combinqtion of interesting topics. Howeverm it seems a bit old, and it didn't add much to my previous knowledge.

I enjoyed the course , maybe improvement on the quality of the material and videos . Overall interesting course.

I did not recieve my free certificate

HIDAP NA

Personally, I found the content to be boring. The course focuses on basic psychology and videos range from 30 secs - 10 mins each, which is quite annoying.

not what i expected as i thought i would be learning after doing the course learning how to learn

Course progress is extremely inefficient and the contents are too superficial to be of use

My all module is completed but I donot get my certificate please help

Impossible to unenroll unlike all the other courses.

A bunch of words about nothing. Wasted my time.

Title doesn't fit to course material quality.

Very bad course
