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 interesting course. All important issues of learning processes are highlighted. However, for practice, each issue must be dealt with independently by other sources. It will take ten times more time to do this.

Thank you

Had a great time figuring out that I really don't know anything because I've never taken the time to learn anything appropriately. This class would have been really useful when I was in college before I received my degree.

This is an excellent course. Honestly speaking, it give me a different perspective to approach learning. If teachers start taking this course as a guideline, they can help their students overcome their leaning frustrations.

The course is so great. I d suggest Coursera promotes it to be passed by most of newbies visitors of the website as it really encourages to study new subjects; and obviously, Coursera is the easiest way to learn new skills

For me, it's not only about learning methods, but also a methodology for problem solving, and it's presented in a learner-friendly way. Mrs Oakley has been talking like a senior in my family ( in a good way), just love it.

The Course is Really Informative and Very Helpful Learning Strategies.

It has removed my one of the biggest misconceptions about learning, i.e if we know the correct technique, we can learn anything irrespective of the age.
