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 usually do lots of MOOCs but Learning how to learn is the best one I have ever done.

It has made me be more focus on my studies and be more effective using differents simple techniques taught in this course.

I would do it over and again to have deeper knowledge about the best way to learn.

Все дается по делу, ничего лишнего с подробными объяснениями, почему нужно делать так. Остался в полном восторге от курса. Если Барбара будет читать, то технику аналогичную запоминанию знакомых предметов в комнате практиковали еще древнегреческие ораторы для запоминания пунктов своей речи ;)

Everyone would have their own approaches/tools to learning. I feel that this course would help one to confirm if the approaches/tools they use is really helping them ? And also, it would help one to equip with several more approaches that others in the world use for learning. Keep learning!

Excellent course, it takes you to a very easy going course with constant use of the tools to reinforce the facts that those same tools are the ones needed to learn faster and better. Highly recommended for young students in their degree careers. Tools for the restless mind of many of us!!!!

Great scientific tips on how to study better. The course itself is prepared with these tips, so we will (thankfully) have a hard time to forget the metaphors, analogies and visualizations presented during the course. There's also some interesting interviews to learn more from amazing people.

I've learned a lot about the study method, from distinguishing focus and diffuse mode thinking, fix procrastination, teamwork, preparation for the test, and much more. This course is designed to feel easy to understand to implement those techniques. It will help me to learn many new things.

It is a valuable course filled with ideas that are crucial for all serious learners to learn more effectively. Backed with the most recent research, the additional interviews that complement the ideas presented in the course from expert learners make the course more meaningful and profound.

I am 32 and still find this course very useful. It can be useful for a high school student or PhD student, or someone like me who just want to keep learning.

The neuroscience facts are very useful although short, and the techniques to train memory and work on procrastination are also great.

Amazing. These were practically things I have learned throughout my successful academic career by trial and error but it was absolutely eye-opening to see that these are actual, recognized techniques. Obviously I did not know all of these techniques, so the course was instructional as well.

This course was one of the most helpful courses I encountered. I really helped me in learning how to learn properly. Techniques like the Pomodoro-Technique are now a great asset to my arsenal! I feel more achieved and I know how to get myself out of a slump and remotivate myself. Thank you!

An excellent course by Dr. Terrence Sejnowski and Dr. Barbara Oakley that provides practical techniques like active recall and spaced repetition. The use of metaphors and analogies makes complex concepts easy to grasp. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their learning skills.
