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.

In short this course could help to many people if they would learn it early in the school. I have struggled with learning a lot of years until I found this course by accident. Thank you Barbara and the team.

It was very thought out and included many resources that I could read later to learn even more about techniques to use. Would recommend this course to anyone looking to increase the confidence in themselves.

I am 54 years old and, although impossible to have taken it when I studied my career back in the 80's, I regret not have taken it before. First thing I will do now is tell my kids to take it. Thanks a LOT.

This course has achieved the impossible simplicity. Rather than presenting many concepts just theoritically, the course has focused on examples and metaphors. The course instructor has done also a great job.

"Learning How to Learn" has created a great impact in my learning habits which were far from effective. It has triggered an entire new approach to the relationship between living habits and learning results.

A great course based on their book. I read the book - but found that watching the videos created deeper learning. I procrastinate less now! Thank you to Dr. Oakley! I will get into med school because of you!

It helps me to build confidence in learning a new thing after my graduation from the university. Even though I cannot pay an expensive university in USA, but I can still learn good materials on the Internet.

Take a step back and check if your learning techniques are in good shape! It´s an eye-opening course that you'll want to retake every now and then. I'll definitely come back to this course every month or so!

With this course I learned not only about learning but also how my brain works and many words from English. It is interesting and encouraging, as long as it shows you that your limit is the sky.

One of the best courses I've ever learned. After that my learning skills increased a lot. Who could even think that you can increase your learning skills by just introducing a few small tips into your life?

This course provides an instruction manual for mastery of anything I can think of. I have no doubt I'll be using what I learned in this course and the accompanying book again and again in my future studies.
