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.

I got a lot out of this course. I am now paying particular attention to using the focused and diffuse modes of thinking, and spaced repetition in my learning - and the pomodoro technique for everything from academia to housework!

This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the coursera learning experience and is relevant to any other learning endeavors you might have in all aspects of life. I recommend taking it before any other courses on the sight.

I learned a a lot about effective learning and maximizing the potential. I think I should have taken this course before I started my high school in 2001.

I recommend to every individual to take this course without any hesitation.

While most of this information can easily be found elsewhere, it's a great refresher course if you have learned this stuff, and a well organized introduction if you haven't. The thing that puts it over the edge is the Interviews.

The course exceeded my expectations.

My main reason for doing the course was to give me ideas as to how to learn a new language (my third) after the age of 60 and in a new country and environment. Needless to say, I am encouraged!
