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.

I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

Lots of great information -- some I had learned before, but I was able to gain a better understanding of why and how the methods work. And Dr. Oakley was a delight to learn from!

The best course on Coursera. Learn how to learn first , before you take other courses. I also love the humour in the quizzes, if only real life exams have such humourous options.

Simply and succinctly putting multiple skills you can really benefit from right inside your brain, with humor and some deeper sources if you want them. Can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic course for learners at all levels. I took it partly to help my own students, and my children, but learned a great deal that was useful for myself as an adult with ADHD.

This course has grouped many points that I have always thought of as a problem to find that it just a common (wrong) understanding AND a good start off on how to re-look to them.

Wonderful course. It taught me many concepts which I never knew or misinterpreted. Now, I hope, I would do a lot better in upcoming examinations and overall learning experiences.
