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 am a more effective learner as a result of this course. It has also, surprisingly, increased my enjoyment while learning. Thanks to Barbara and Terry for a well presented and informative production.

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.

Learning how to learn in a smart and effective way is a must in the coming age of AI / robotics. Those who don´t have this skill will have a tough time in the not so far future. In this regard, this course is really helpful!

I cannot find the words to say thank you in a proper manner. It is a wonderful experience to be part on it. It changes all my points of view about learning, open my mind and, I hope, be a better learner in life.

Best Wishes.

Awesome course. Doing Pomodoros has completely changed how I approach focus activity, but I never would have tried the technique without the context provided by this course. And that's just one example! Highly recommended.

Very good course!. Easy, useful, well structured and mild. Thank you very much. Only one suggestion: I found the exercises and tests extremely useful to reinforce the learning but some times there were unnecesarily tricky.

Me ayudó bastante no sólo a entender los procesos en que el cerebro aprende mejor, sino también me hizo adquirir nuevamente el interés por el aprendizaje, algo que había perdido hace tiempo por estudiar de manera equivocada.

This course was insightful and helped me think of learning in a different way. While I knew of many of these techniques before it made me understand the psychological aspect of it which made me understand the bigger picture.

I have a PhD , and yet this course improved my learning skills, and made me aware of unproductive approaches to avoid. I know much more about how to deal with procrastination, and how to help study groups be more effective.

I've been using this kind of techniques for learning for a while now and have to say I was a lost soul wondering a sea of knowledge before learning how to swim. After going through this course, I at least can start paddling.

The concepts of learning were made easy to understand.

The problems involved with learning were explained and the solutions to the problems actually work.

The modules were engaging and not too long, not to short- just right!

Excellent videos and excellent explanations of the professors.

However I was very disappointed by the cost of the certificate and the fact that it could not be acquired as free, proving that I actually have passed the course

Exceptional course! I'm feeling lucky to discover this course, even i'm turning to 26 years old. But late seems better than never. Thank you so much to our 2 adorable profs for sharing their experiences.

Highly recommend it!

This facinating class has already improved how much I retain from other classes I'm taking. I now better understand my ability to remember things, and I am thrilled with the results of using the mental tools that it teaches.

I've learned so much and can't express how priceless this information has been. I only wish this was something I could have earlier in my life. I think high school would have been a good time or just after before college.

Amazing. Best course out of all Coursea simply because of the fact that it not only teaches you how to learn other courses or other studies, but it helps you learn anything at all. Great Coursea. 11/10 would recommend again

Would definitely recommend this MOOC to anyone. As the title says, taking this course would help you in developing the "mental tools to help you" in your life long journey of learning. As a wise man once said, "Just Do It".

A great course. I wasn't expecting soo much of the course to relate to how I learn and different ways I can improve. There are a lot of suggestions made in this course that I am going to carry on implementing when learning.

Интересный курс, какие-то вещи кажутся очевидными, но всё очень хорошо структурировано и отлично подается, с научным обоснованием материала. Интересные дополнительные материалы и интервью, раскрывающие вопросы более широко.
