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 helped me a lot on realizing what I was missing and the real mistake that I've ever made. By fixing my cognition in learning, it gave me a better chance to study and retain more than ever.

The course was easy to take and provided an overview of the learning process. What I like about the course is it remained committed to focusing more in the process and not in the product. Thank you to the wonderful professors that creates this video!

The information provided in this course is invaluable. The instructors were welcoming, down-to-earth, and jovial. What I'm taking away from this course will be a force multiplier for my continued education and any new endeavor I tackle in the future.

I love this class, helped me a lot. It can tell that professor did devote themselves a lot . cause the final test has 27 items. I learned several online classes from Coursera,this one is the only one to integrate all "key points together. Well done.

This course was broken down in a very digestible way. The videos and constant quizzes helped me to cement the ideas and concepts into my brain while going through the material. I learned a lot and am already applying it in different areas of my life!

This is a life-changing course. I struggled with learning techniques all my life, not even knowing, what i lacked? Now, i feel like i have the tools that can make study fun for me, as it should be. Thank you Dr. Sejnovski and Dr Oakley. Lots of love.

Really insightful material and points about learning. Everyone should take this course to enhance their study habits, internalize their learning subjects and essentially change their view of learning as a whole (at least this is what happened to me).

This course was very fun to take, I enjoyed watching the optional interviews they had at the end of each module. And the main concepts were always brought up in a review so there were no surprises during the tests. I would recommend this to a friend.

If you want to know what is the right way to learn this is the course. It will explain to you what is going on in your brain while studying/learning. It also points out the misconceptions regarding the methods of learning. Recommend for all learners.

I have learned powerful techniques that are sure to help me in the future when I pursue my second bachelor's degree. I can now see the many errors I made with my studies during my pursuit of my engineering degree. Thank you for putting this together.

Great lesson! I've got a lot of useful information and handy techniques about how to learn. It's the kind of things that I can use myself and apply to teaching. I've also improved my self-confidence through great assignment comments by my Mooc mates.

Очень познавательный и полезный курс. Проблема лишь в интернациональности. Из-за того, что все тестовые задания написаны на английском языке, я не смог проверить свои знания. Однако качество и полезность материалов самого курса это никак не убавляет.

The content of the course and structure of learning are just great! Visual side - not so good. It's not beautiful. It's quite the opposite.. BUT I still think it's a great course. It would have been even greater if it would be beautifully "packed"

I'm pretty good at math without consciously knowing why (I used to assume it a math talent). Now I realize the core function behind learning. And I become more confident to conquer other fields of hard science such as statistics and computer science.

Como profesor universitario encuentro este curso muy útil, tanto para reflexionar sobre cómo mejorar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes en las materias que impartimos, así como en reflexionar sobre nuestras propias ideas de cómo aprendemos a aprender.
