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.

It was a wonderful journey of learning how to learn. Simple and effective. Wish i had come across something like this a little early in life. But better late than never. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

This is a "feel good" course alongside of learning a lot. It encourages oneself that, "hey, you can learn anything!" Highly recommended. Barbara Oakley is starting to my favorite MOOC mentor!

Really useful course - I have a BA and Masters and could have benefited from some of these methods when I was studying full-time! Intending to use the methods as I do more studying in my 40s.

highly recommended course with many helpful information.

if you decided to take the course, keep focusing on the ideas and concepts of learning not just the "techniques" to get the best of it.

This course exposed me to a lot of helpful ideas that I had not learned anywhere else and debunked a lot of myths about the brain and about learning. Worth another look even after completing!

The course requires only modest, consistent effort but will almost certainly reward you with new strategies for learning and more certainty about strategies you've already already been using.
