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.

Хороший курс, узнал много нового. Понял, причину того, что казалось хорошо изученным и понятным, совершенно выброшенным из голову через пару дне. Узнал о техниках запоминания и качественно понимания.

NIce course, should be mandatory at the beginning of the college studies, or maybe even earlier. There are no magic formulas to learn without efforts, but this is how learning is, hard and satisfying

It gave me a lot of good techniques for a better learning, and showed me that I was learning incorrectly. At the same time it helped me understand how the brain functions, to have a better learning.
