About the Course

This course gives you easy access to the invaluable learning techniques used by experts in art, music, literature, math, science, sports, and many other disciplines. We’ll learn about how the brain uses two very different learning modes and how it encapsulates (“chunks”) information. We’ll also cover illusions of learning, memory techniques, dealing with procrastination, and best practices shown by research to be most effective in helping you master tough subjects. Using these approaches, no matter what your skill levels in topics you would like to master, you can change your thinking and change your life. If you’re already an expert, this peep under the mental hood will give you ideas for turbocharging successful learning, including counter-intuitive test-taking tips and insights that will help you make the best use of your time on homework and problem sets. If you’re struggling, you’ll see a structured treasure trove of practical techniques that walk you through what you need to do to get on track. If you’ve ever wanted to become better at anything, this course will help serve as your guide. This course can be taken independent of, concurrent with, or prior to, its companion course, Mindshift. (Learning How to Learn is more learning-focused, and Mindshift is more career-focused.) A related course by the same instructors is Uncommon Sense Teaching.

Very useful. Explained how the brain - mind and memory - works, and showed techniques for learning more effectively. Wish I'd known about this stuff while I actually went to high-school and college!

Excellent course. Useful and applicable techniques which are particularly helpful for students. The course has a well designed structure. The course coordinator, Dr. Oakley, is clear in her explanations. I would probably revisit this course again in the near future.

Excellent course. Very informative and fun. I like the pragmatic approach, with emphasis on practical tips that will help you grasp the material more easily, but the course is also giving the background story on why and how those tips work.

Would recommend to anyone.

This course was a delight to take. I am already using techniques from this course in my life. I am currently learning flying trapeze. Every trick involves multiple parts and I have been focusing on "chunking" small portions of each trick that I learn. Works wonders.

Wow, All this while I was thinking that I know really well how to learn things, and after completing this course I realised some of my methods were rather detrimental to my learning . Used this course's teaching in learning other 3 courses and I could learn better .

Muy interesante. Cuando se cree que se esta haciendo lo correcto para aprender, al ir avanzando en el curso se da uno cuenta de tantas fallas y creencias erróneas que se tienen. Las explicaciones de Bárbara son muy entretenidas. Además todo es con bases científicas.

To really learn how to learn involves understanding what your brain is doing during the study process. Information provided by this course can help you develop an understanding of how your brain works and how to use it in the best way possible. I really enjoyed it.
