Learn How to Learn Anything Based on Science: Effective Study Techniques and Beating Procrastination

Whether you’re a student studying for exams, or a passionate lifelong learner studying for fun, this class is a deep dive into evidence-based methods for how to learn based on the science of learning. Because we should study smarter, not harder!

As a student who graduated a degree in Cognitive Science with a specialism in learning theory, Jade is passionate about teaching  others what makes an effective study technique based on the literature, and digging into how we can stay motivated and beat procrastination!

Chapter 1:

The foundation of this course will teach you:

• why learning how to study is important for effective time management and stress reduction
• why rote learning is unpopular, but actually crucial!
• essential criteria that you can always use to ask yourself if a study method is effective or not based on the science of learning (SAAD!).

This chapter is an important pre-requisite to understanding why the example study techniques in Chapter 2 are so effective.

Chapter 2:

After learning what makes an effective study technique, this chapter will provide you with 5 examples of the best techniques to learn anything you desire.

• Flashcards: how do we make them and use them most effectively?
• Self-Explanation and Teaching: how can forcing ourselves to explain concepts aloud be beneficial for learning?
• Blurting: are you using one of the most underused, but life-changing techniques?
• Past Papers: if you're studying for exams, you need to use this technique.
• Pomodoro Technique: how to beat procrastination using effective time management and chunking

Chapter 3:

Once you’ve learned what makes an effective study technique and 5 of the best examples, we’ll dig into the science behind motivation, goal-setting and beating procrastination. This chapter is essential for anyone with long-term learning goals and figuring out your why.

• How to develop a growth mindset
• How to identify your sources of motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic)
• How to diagnose why you might not be motivated right now

You’ll be creating:

• A robust compilation of journal prompts to diagnose your current learning methods
• A clear roadmap for your own long-term motivation and success
• Detailed study resources for your subject of choices, such as flashcards and blurting

You will upload this compilation as a project for your own accountability and to inspire other students!

Jade recommends watching the course over a dedicated period of time to fully digest each chapter. Rewatch episodes as necessary and make sure to complete all course activities to ensure you’re making the most out of it.
