Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects

Об этом курсе: 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 the 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.)

I have tried to be responsible for my own learning for years since I graduated. And I am always being troubled by the fact that the progress I've made is too slow because of my poor memory. This course offers many useful techniques which I believe will definitely give me a hand to my coming learning process.

6 months on and I am still using the tools learned in this course: Pomodoro, breaking up learning with a different activity, repetition, etc.

This is a course I intend to review over and over again as it will serve a critical tool for lifelong learning. I believe it should be adapted into a Learning 101 program at the elementary education level.

Simply amazing. Helped me from day 1 to learn more effectively. Yes, from DAY 1! =)

Thanks a lot Barbara and Terrence. It was a JOY. Let's go to MindShift now!

This class have me a new perspective on learning.This word is overused, but in the case of this class it actually fits -- empowering.
