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.

Probably the most important course I've ever taken in my life and it was completely free. Already applied many of the concepts and have seen the difference. Do yourself a favor and take this course.

The course is fantastic! My goal was to improve my memory. The course explains the memory processes, the obstacles to memory and memory retention. All this gave me confidence again to know that I am on the right track. I thank you very much for a great course and a great experience!

I have really enjoyed doing this course!!

After graduating from the University I have done nothing with my life, but being a housewife and mother. And now, after 15 years, I think it is time to show the world I am not too old to learn again. Thanks for all the practical learning tips!

Excelente curso, fiz parte dele, mas sem pegar o certificado na época da pandemia, e foi um divisor de águas para mim, pois me ajudou a evitar a procrastinação num momento complicado. Voltei ao curso e refiz agora do zero, pois queria o restante do conhecimento e valeu muito a pena!

If you struggling as a student or just wanted to learn something but having a rough time understanding the material, I HIGHLY recommend this course. If I've learned the things that they teach you in this course as a teen or as a college student, I would have been a better student.

One of the best courses I have ever taken! Topics very well explained, with good examples and excellent tips for learning. A course that I recommend to all people who not only want to learn how to learn, but for all those who are interested in keeping their brain active and healthy.

I'm English-language learner. At first, I enrolled this course because I want to practice English listening and reading skill, but later, I found that the lessons are also very interesting and useful for me as a university student and future teacher. Thank you for this great course.

This course has helped me to improve my skills when I face new topics that are sometimes complicated, it has shown me efficient ways to face academic challenges and in an educational way how to draw up a plan to learn to manage my brain, my customs and habits to enhance my knowledge

I took this course for two reasons. 1. It’s a Prerequisite for a Badge Program I’m in called The Strenuous Life. 2. The old adage of you can’t “Teach an Old Dog New Tricks” is a false statement. Old Dogs ( Me) love to learn New Tricks! Learning is one of the only constants in Life!

In the digital era, we met several people who we do not in real life. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski are the best examples of that concept I think. I am thankful to Coursera and my teachers, looking forward to encounter in new courses and hopefully meet personally in one day!

Great class! I recommend it for any student looking to optimize their learning. The instructors are very effective and teach some extremely useful techniques for improving learning. I wish I would have learned these techniques before graduating with my bachelors and masters degrees!

I have always think that studying means to sit down for hours and hours, repeating what you want to learn, which I did not do of course, but now after finishing this course is have learned the right and correct way to do it, and learning become much easier and way more interesting.

This is an excellent course, the information is easy to understand yet you can find all the research to back it up in the sources, the delivery is excellent and the examples and analogies so well done you will get something even if you were already familiar with most of the content.

This course has helped me grasp how to learn and I'm so grateful for it. I'm now looking forward to any and all challenges, projects, learning etc. in any field I choose to get into. I now know for certain that I can be a rocket scientist, if I choose to. Highly, highly recommended.

This course is very beneficial, it is an eye opener on some great points that help accomplish learning goals and exploring oneself, it sheds the light on brain functions in learning and summarizes a list of useful key techniques that I believe will help me in my learning experience.
