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 say this for Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow that every thinker needs to read that book. From now on, I am gonna say this about this course too: every learner should take this course.

students who took this course could read the book called "how to become a straight-a student" by Cal Newport. some of the statements are similar to the course so i think it will be more helpful.

Initially, I thought this was going to be boring course since people like me would rather sign up for technical areas. At the end was different.Now, I feel like signing up a motivational course.

This course has been a boost for my confidence.

I know now that I am not the only one with the Imposter Syndrome.

and I will continue to study, similar to eating an Elephant : one bit at the time.

I am now able to approach "difficult" tasks with confidence. The pomodoro technique is my key takeaway form this course, I use it all the time. Small focused efforts contribute to the end goal!!
