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 my first course at coursera platform and I enjoyed it. I've had the best experience of moocs learning and I loved the recall testing strategy which I found most helpful throughout the course.

An amazing course on the very fundamentals of how to learn. I am pursuing my doctoral degree and I wish I had access to this course in the early days of my college or even better in high school.

The course teaches by the principles it is trying to convey. By progressively tapping into a subject and repeating and summarizing the teachers seek to build-up confidence in a warm-hearted way.

I love the voice of Ms Oakley , she should be present in every course on Coursera! I also appreciate dr Sejnowski's huuuge knowledge and being very curious if he has polish roots. Wonderful job!

A lot of useful things , some mediocre things could also be there just like in ever course. Might take around 2 weeks to learn. Assuming around 1 hr of content per day and then chunking it too.
