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.

Amazing! If you don't know how the difficult and unknown things could be presented easily and comprehensevely then Barb and Terry will show you. A must-have knowledge for ex-students from the previous century like me.

I found this course very helpful. I was able to start using what I learned in this course right away.

The video transcripts could benefit from some proofreading, though. Not just this course, all of Coursera's courses.

This was a brilliant course that put theory into practice. The new information was very memorable due to the use of metaphor, visuals, recaps, short vdieo presentations and frequent mini quizzes. It is well worth doing.

It was GREAT experience and a bit tough. I need to review some videos and do some optional reading, but it gave me a way to think more and try easy ways of learning something new.

Thank you all for this opportunity.

I enjoyed this course and found that subconsciously I was doing some of these best practices to learn already but it is so much clearer now as to what is effective and why. I wish I had this better understanding earlier

I used the link within the course to write a review. Unfortunate the link took me where I was somehow suddenly not signed in? Maybe fix this problem. I have already written a review of the course elsewhere.

Great course!

Спасибо за курс! Мне было интересно следить за собой, так я начала походить курс второй раз и сейчас дошла до конца, довольна своими результатами тестирования. Раньше читала книгу «Думай как математик» Барбары Оакли👍🏻

One to return to again and again to remind yourself of techniques. Although you should use the skills everyday from the start. Vital if you want to improve yourself; Pomodoro, Recall, Focus & Diffuse states, on and on..

It's a wonderful course with plenty of useful information and feasible and practical techniques which are suitable for most of people. However, I consider those chunks of brain's chemical substances is quite irrelevant.

It is an excellent chance to review learning process and improve our skills. The skills mentioned in video are practical. There are also many points that I had failed to pay attention when I learned but worth reviewing.
