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.

I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

This course should be mandatory for every student and parent! It would save a lot of stress for kids, who rate themselves based on academic success.

It has some really useful tips and tricks that are easy to remember and try.

I like the way material is presented. As mention in the course, our education system more bother about result of learning. But first time, I learned the process of learning itself. Very useful when I study any new material.

This course is amazing. I found out why I have failed so much in my studies so far. This course should be taken in all elementary schools. That way everyone would understand the importance of studying and how to really study.

This course makes tackling a new subject methodic and easy, even addressing public enemy #1 - procrastination (I bet you thought I was going to say Donald Trump). It becomes so much harder to get thrown off track. Thank you!
