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 course accumulates a clear and valuable set of thoughts that structure knowledge about learning principles and tactics. Also, it was interesting to know some new things about how the brain works.

We just jump into learning in schools and continue to struggle in it through our life. But we should stop for a while and see how we learn and check if we can improve our learning ability. By taking this course, you will improve on learning efficiently.

I was really happy the way professor Barbara Oakley and Prof.

Terrence Sejnowski unfolded the secret to learn efficiently. I was always intrigued about the best way to learn. Thanks Dr. Barbara and Dr. Sejnowski for making things interesting and easy.

Es un curso asombroso, ya que te ayuda a ver tu mente y la forma de aprender de una manera diferente, lo que ayuda a descubrir las diferencias entre los diferentes medos de aprendizaje y cual es el mas eficiente para ti ya que cada persona es diferente.

The course gives an insight into your brain and its powers and limitations. The best thing to do is to experiment the learning techniques on this course itself. The tone of the course instructors is also very friendly. Nothing is difficult, if you try.

Not only did I study the basic concepts and theories of neuroscience that support continuing learning new things through a lifetime but also practiced a bunch of techniques such as Pomodoro, interweaving, spacing, and daily task list before sleep, etc.

Can't recommend enough. Wish I took this earlier in life, but I probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much. Life would have been so much easier if I had applied everything from this course instead of my endless procrastination and sleepless nights.

I enjoyed very much learning about various learning techniques. Also it was great to realize that I actually utilize some of these techniques although I did not know they are the right way to learn and to obtain long-term memorizing. Higly recommended.

A perfect way to get your attention to 'how' you are studying, and not only 'how much'.

Thank you very much for your initiative.

I liked specially the relation of aerobic exercises to learning, which stimulates the ordinary 'geek' to get out of the lair.

This course is well worth the time! While some of the material simply reminds of us of the good and appropriate things to do as we learn, there is also a significant amount of new content. I recommend that learners review this information periodically.

I recommend this course to all students that believe they are not good students, just to know they can be best students, keep practicing with these tips and you will see you can learn everything you want, even if it’s the most difficult item like math.

This was one of the most rewarding courses I have taken. It's also very conveniently the most time-effective one because it teaches you a broad variety of tips and "cheats" for hacking into your own mind and making yourself feel and BE more productive.
