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.

Excellent course. It must not be taken as a road to flawless learning. Rather, it is a practical introduction to efficient learning with the minimum theoretical basis needed.

实际上所提到的学习技巧大部分是在日常生活和学习中已经用到的,然而在平时的使用中只知其用法不知其原由。而这个课程恰好的从生理学和心理学上全面的概述了间断复习、番茄工作法、习惯的养成和改变等等内容,选修课程中还邀请到了有趣的教授或者学生来分享他们的课程、专业或者语言学习心得,课程信息量很大,趣味性也较强。

课程中还推荐了不少课外读物,然而并没有认真看过
