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 found this course to be incredibly helpful. I am 33 and wish that I would have been taught a more efficient way of learning many years ago. There are definitely some great takeaways from this class.

This class feels basic, but it hold deep truths about how to be a better learner and it provides great research you can go deeper into on your own. Excellent instruction, you get out what you put in.

Great course, applicable to more things than just 'studying'. Took me 4 days to complete and I have already implemented several things from the course in daily life.

Just an amazing course for every student or lifelong learner. Most of the videos are research backed and also resonates when we think of how it applies to our lives.

Very good crisp course material with more dramatic presentation of the content; most of the test questions are trivial but still those help to recapture the content.

Great course, not only for students but for mature professionals. Barbara walks the talk making her short videos quite intertaining and full of visual mind catchers.

I've gained insight into what I should be doing (and obviously what I shouldn't be doing) when I'm learning new information. This course is nothing short of amazing.

It's great to learn how our brain works when it comes to acquiring new knowledge or even when trying to remember the grocery list. It's been a very pleasant journey.
