Introduction To The Course3:55
Discover five reasons to learn how to learn—knowledge is power, confidence, control, time efficiency, and better preparation, while shaping your study approach and reducing stress.
How The Brain Works7:22
Discover how the brain learns through the senses by exploring neural grooves, neural hooks and anchors, and chunking. Apply these concepts to expand working memory and improve studying.
Modes Of Thinking6:26
Explore focus mode and diffuse mode in study sessions, learn to switch between them with breaks and revisits, and strengthen neural grooves for clearer, efficient learning.
Competency7:28
Outline the four levels of competence—unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence—and explain how familiarity can mislead, while retrieval strengthens true competence via study and practice.
Familiar And Notorious Practices4:11
Compare familiar study practices such as reading, highlighting, summarization, and practice testing with infamous ones like cramming and passive rereading, emphasizing practice testing for long-term retention.
Elaborative Interrogation11:58
Develop deep understanding and long-term retention by using elaborative interrogation and self explanation, asking why questions to actively engage with concepts, with case studies and practice testing.
Self Explanation12:51
Master the self explanation technique to boost comprehension and retention by verbalizing reasoning, linking ideas, and using guided questions with focus and diffuse modes.
Practice Testing5:33
Strengthen learning by forcing retrieval without aids, creating desirable difficulties that boost retention, competence, and identifying gaps through methods like flashcards, multiple-choice questions, synthesis questions, and past papers.
Spaced Repetition3:44
Master spaced repetition by distributing practice over time to boost long-term retention, revisiting material after increasing intervals and keeping reviews shorter each time.
Interleaving8:18
Interleaving mixes different concepts across a study session to identify problem types, disrupt order, and boost long-term retention during review and practice.
