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 is a course which I enjoyed. It gave a good insight of the learning methodologies which we have often heard of but not given due importance. Also, the brain facts is cool :) My 5/5 to this course

It gave me many things to think about as well as recognition. I really love the pommodoro technique as well as summarizing what you have learned. I'm really going to use these methods. Thank you.

Everyone should first study this course then something else because this course guides you on how to learn things and the instructors have explained most of the principles of the learning process.

I have found learning how to learn a very interesting course. I've learned in this course about topics that I've never heard before and I found them very useful while applying them to this course.

If you want to learn more efficiently (and thereby making it more fun imo) this course is for you. For me spaced learning, the pomodoro technique, recalling and interleaving were real eye openers.

Both instructors gave a unique perspective on learning process. So far i focused on outcome of learning not as much about the process. First time i feel that i have many tools to learn new things.

Well done, straight to the point, I couldn't imagine better course on the subject. I actually read a lot about this subject in different books, this is by far the best and more concise one. Cheers

Includes techniques to work harder I heard of, lots I probably haven't heard of. More concise than other sources of techniques to work hard. Hopeful that it will be very helpful for my studies.
