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.

從小到大,我們的各種學習都是以本能的方式來學習,有心者還會去尋找一些方法,不過往往是片片斷斷,缺乏系統性的認識。然而此課程嘗試著從各種科學研究的發現(例如腦神經科學、心理行為學..等)來告訴我們如何更有效地學習,並且如何克服避免學習過程中可能產生的障礙。在此邁入知識經濟的時代,更顯終身學習、跨領域學習的重要,絕對值得花點時間來學如何學習,保證一生受用。

What a fantastic course, teaching about the neuroscience of learning, emphasising that most failures are due to not learning how to learn, rather than not being able to perform.

Great course, where I have learned lots of techniques to learn and where I have discovered much of the brain's working method. I recommend you to take it and Learn how to learn!

Literally makes you rethink your life and reshuffle your priorities, especially after all what you learn about the importance of sleep and physical exercise. Highly recommended.
