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.

This has actually helped put me more at ease with my stress of having issues learning at my elder age. It has shown me how to control my learning stress and again properly function as a 'student' to my environment.

It is a amazing course for any person that wants to be a better 'learner'. I take this course while reading the book 'You are not so smart' by David McRaney; and it was gourgeus because they compliment each others.

It was a good course to understand different modes of brain. Memory techniques are very helpful.

It helps to learn difficult concepts with ease. Methods such as spaced repetition are key to learning tough subjects.
