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.

This is my first course at coursera platform and I enjoyed it. I've had the best experience of moocs learning and I loved the recall testing strategy which I found most helpful throughout the course.

This course is really good if you want to improve your way to do the things in the class or in the job. I thought have the right study methods but I was wrong. In this course I have learned that more sometimes is not better. A lot of thanks to the authors.

On seeing the title of this course, I was curious to take it. And I must say, it was wonderful. Thanks to Barb Oakley and Terry Sejnowski for their wonderful sessions and tips to learn better. This course changed my perspective of how learning should be :)

This is a missing puzzle found to live a life on your own conditions. Without this the journey will lack clarity. Watch 25 minutes content of this course on x2 speed every or every other day until it's completed. See you on the the other side of greatness!

An excellent course which should be taken by students, teachers and anyone interested in education. I enjoyed 'learning how to learn' backed up by scientific evidence and a range of resources.

Well done Barb and Terry for an engaging and fantastic program!

Excellent Course.

Having taken the Actuarial Exams for the Society of Actuaries, I found myself having acquired a lot of the techniques that the professors mentioned. However I also learned a lot of novel new things. I would recommend this course to anyone!

This is truly a course for EVERYBODY! No kidding. How can you be a student or life long learner and not learn how to learn? Best of all, it is exciting but also challenging in the sense that you will be hearing some things for the very first time. Welcome.

A well segmented course, which helps explain various essential concepts of learning - even if some of it seems familiar or common sense, this breaks it out down well. The companion book is also worth buying for reference and to explain in a bit more depth.

As a professor at a small private college, this course has reminded me some of the issues that students face when learning new subjects. It has given me the tools to better explain my content and has taught me techniques that work. I am grateful for this

Most amazing delivery and very engaging content! I only wish I had taken this course 30 years ago when I started school. This should be added to the curriculum in every school in my opinion. Definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to learn how to learn.

A great first course to take if you are getting back into the groove of advancing your education. Barbra Oakley is a wonderfully motivating person and has great techniques as well as the other professor who's name i can't seem to spell. Thank you so much!

I like the course. It taught me in a structured way, what years of trial and error tells. I believe there are still tools not available to allow us to practice these concepts. I discuss this with my kids and they said also this should be taught at school.

Great course! I needed an update on learning techniques. The instructors are brilliant. Everthing was clearly explained. Sometimes the sound was too low, especialy during interviews, but no big deal. Few graphics but effective and fun (love the zombie! ).

Amazing way to discover the shortcomings in us. I took this course to help my high school daughter to understand her subjects well. I am amazed by the way it helped me also.

I strongly recommend this to the students, professionals(both young and seasoned).

This course help me to understand why I didn't get good marks in my school days, even after working so hard. It helps me to understand that we should focus on Process rather than Product, as in long term it is the Process which will drive our motivation..
