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.

Awesome course. Learning how to learn should be part of middle and high school required curricula. I will have my boys take advantage of Dr Oakley and Dr Sejnowski expertise and have them take this course. Thank you.

I learned a lot about why sometimes we don´t succeed at school and what you can do to understand, learn, and remember the subjects you want to learn. I recommend this course. Also class is easy to understand and fun.

This course has really helped me think about learning and find better ways to learn. The one big take away for me from this course is the Pomodoro which I am using everyday. It's helping me actually get through work.

It was extremely awesome. I actually used these techniques in my daily life before taking this course, but never knew if it was right. This source gave me that I am right and am eager to teach these to whoever I see.

that is really a fantastic and an eye opener course for me. If you really feel difficult to work or learn but you still have urge to learn and then if things seem impossible to you! then this the best course for you.

I have learned excellent tools that I have already begun to implement like the Pomodoro. I have also learned more about the brain, and what good habits to practice in order to make the most of my learning experience.

Some new study techniques and explanations on how your brain and memory work. Great explanations on things you already knew- like WHY procrastination is bad, why we tend to do it, and good tips for stopping it., etc.

This course gave me a solid foundation to learning, with lots of useful information on why study works or not. Allowing me to better formulate my study to learn deeply about subjects, negating illusion of competence.

The course introduced me to various ways and on how approach and not to approach problems. I believe I will be able to apply almost everything that I have learned in this course in my college career and through life.

It helped me to get some mental tools and master my focusing problems with studying. I also learned many new things which as a psychologist major I didn't know until now. Thanks for teaching me learning how to learn!

Невероятно полезный курс, содержащий в себе информацию о полезных вещах -- таких, как прокрастинация, мнемонические приемы и техники и др. И все это очень хорошо структурировано и приятно в изучении. Рекомендую всем.

Very interesting, I learnt a lot about how my brain function, and it provided me plenty of tips and techniques about how to improve my learning.

Besides the course is funny and the teachers explain things very clearly
