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.

Excellent course. The analogies used motivates one to build upon them and get creative in linking what we already know with what we are learning. I wish that I would have stumbled over this course a long time ago.

This course should be on the main page of Coursera. It's the most important learning skills, which we didn't get in schools or universities. Like very good manual for the brain to help us use it most effectively.

A valuable short course that can teach you different ways to approach learning. Teaches you new ways to think about your own learning and explains how to form strong long term memories and the best ways to do it.

Lot's of good material and learned some good ways to learn better. Recall, testing earlier and more often, and tackling hard problems first then switching to easy when stuck are just a few good methods discussed.

All the information that you gain in this course is something I would describe as "Clean" and neatly presented to Us as Students in each video and lecture. Notes and you're understanding is all that is necessary.

Fantastic Course

Really enjoyed the useful, relevant and well presented material. Barb is true to her values and I particularly respected her one interview where she defended her "Start hard - jump easy" approach.

Great information for those who do not know how to actually study and how things really work in the brain. I give my students the tip of not studying more than 30 to 40 minutes at a time and it really helps them.
