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.

Exceptionally good techniques that I'm baffled are not included in regular school and college teachings. The content in this course is simply invaluable to everyone, and I'm sure it has changed my life for the better.

This course has changed the way I study and even though you feel you go slower at the beginning, you realize you actually master what you're studying, foremost to learn the new things is way easier. Thank you so much!

Nicely built, the professors were both very clear, sweet and enthousiastic.

This has been the fist course I completed, and I learned a lot about my own learning style until the last moment (doing the test!:()

Well done!

Is a very powerful material to start learning how to learn and make new ideas to improve your daily habits, not only in learning, teachers are clear and offer different material to keep on learning and deep in topics.

Interesting. Actually most techniques and ideas are common to many people.

However, we can comprehensively and practically learn them for adapting to our daily life.

Knowledge is power, so we have to learn how to learn.

This may be the most important course you ever take. it sets the stage for effective learning for every other course. It should be on the syllabus of every child in grade 9 as the basis for all their future learning.

This is a fantastic course. The visuals are perhaps not particularly modern, but they are unique and make the course more memorable. When I'm a teacher one day, I want all of my students to complete this course first.

This is a gem of a class. It provides the foundation for all other classes.

The trick, of course--like all other important lessons in life--is to properly implement the material presented given each student's context.

It was wonderful learning how to learn, I have always wanted to invest in self-learning but don't know where and how to start.

This course has been a huge help in this aspect. I can from now on learn anything I want.

O curso é muito bom, o que recomendo é orgnaizar melhor todos os tópicos no final do curso para facilitar o aluino, pois quem busca tal curso pode ter uma grande dificuldade em perceber as nuances que esse oferece.

Things I didn't think of for as old as I am... Like our instructors said, this is going to be a life changer - you spend less time focusing, more time having fun, but at the same time, learn more. Isn't that amazing!
