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.

I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

It is a pity that this information was not taught to me at school and university. Maybe I would have been more successful in my studies, but that doesn't matter any more. Now I have the tools to learn better - that's all that matters.

Actually, I guess that it's the best course, that you can take to improve your life and overall productivity. Now, after taking this course I am no longer afraid of taking final school assessment, that was horrifying me for so long :)

The course material and optional readings & videos are awesome. The only thing I'd like to add is the instructors' obvious teleprompter reading while speaking to us. Yet, great course to take and explore new things about how to learn.

Amazing course, as well as a book written about the same subject

Brilliant job done by the Learning Team.

If one of my friends would struggle with learning or changing the way of thinking - I would suggest him to learn from this course.

Amazing course! It really changes the way you see studying and how the brain works. Even though it talks about some things that we hear all the time, common knowledge, it's nice to see there are a lot of serious papers reinforcing it.
