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.

This is the first course that I completed on Coursera. Am glad I went through this one first before going through the rest. This course is ideally the place to start with before learning other courses.

In a matter of a few weeks you can develop new skills and adopt new techniques to master all kinds of new knowledge. As you become a better and effective learner, you can also become a better educator.

it is a very helpful course both for freshman and senior students. The optional interview videos enhances core course, and they give the perspective of the people who actually use all these techniques.

A pesar de no tener documentación en español, es en mi opinión una gran ayuda, y en lo personal se añade a mi larga lista de motivos para aprender inglés. Agradezco que se le añadiesen los subtitulos.

Very useful and it helps a lot for answering my questions:

Why I learnt more effectively in middle school?

Why I couldn't start working and focus on my study?

What are those helpful advises for learning?
