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.

Excelente! .. aunque tengo limitaciones por no dominar el inglés, me resultaba más practico apagar el audio y leer el subtítulo.

Muchas gracias a Coursera y a la Universidad de California, en especial a Barb y al Dr.

I really liked this course, it was fast and easy to do in a good way. It helped me to understand many things about learning in a really efficient way; i would have preferred a more deep explanation on mnemotechnics.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I think this should be a general course taught to all that are interested in maximising and optimising their learning abilities. Applies especially to students and those learning new material.

Simplesmente excepcional. Não apenas pelo que você aprende a fazer, mas também pelo que você aprende a interromper ou deixar de fazer. Além disso, a didática é excelente e os exemplos são muito práticos e atrativos.

This course was a lot of fun, very interesting to me as a teacher, because I'm always trying to get my students to understand concepts, and this helps me to help them learn how to build concepts in their own minds!

This has actually helped put me more at ease with my stress of having issues learning at my elder age. It has shown me how to control my learning stress and again properly function as a 'student' to my environment.

Wow, after spending so many years in the Academia I realize how sometimes wrong I was in my learning techniques. I've already tried some new approaches. Thank you so much! I think it is a must book for any student.

It is a amazing course for any person that wants to be a better 'learner'. I take this course while reading the book 'You are not so smart' by David McRaney; and it was gourgeus because they compliment each others.
