The Science of Effective Learning (English)
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
"Give me six hours to cut down a tree and I will spend the first one sharpening the axe" -Abraham Lincoln
These kind of quotes serve as a reminder of one crucial lesson: preparing for a task is as important as doing the task itself.
That is why the objective of this class is to help you prepare for the task you'll do your entire life: Learning
To achieve this we'll go over the top 10 evidence-based study techniques that more than 200 years of research and neuroscience have produced.
Additionally, I'll show you how to transform all of these techniques into a system that make learning and memorizing not a goal, but a reality.
Welcome!
