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 course brings back your desire for self-learning. Shows why our schools or education system has failed to make us understand the ways to master tough subjects. A must-do for everyone.

Very helpful course. The instructors were brilliant and simplified seemingly abstract concepts. The lessons can be applied everywhere in life and hence, one of the best courses I've taken.

Straight to the point and enjoyable, really liked the optional videos! If I am asked to tell a problem, is the content organization which is a bit convoluted, but isn't something that bad!

Excellent course. Re-emphasized the importance of exercise. I will try to use pomodoro technique, understood the importance of diffuse learning and need to start implementing finish times.
