Learning How To Learn for Youth

I have always had difficult times with learning at school. I was thinking like"I will memorize all the things the night before the exam." And that was my strategy for exams most of the time. Was it helpful for getting good grades? The answer is yes but I was not remembering anything after the exams. My brain was like trying to delete all of the information I got. And this technique was not helping me in long term. I knew that this is not what I supposed to do. So thanks to these lessons , I realized what I have done wrong. I have learned a lot of things from this course, and now I will try to implement all the things I learned from this course in my life. Besides,the videos were very entertaining and memorable. So I am glad that I took this course.

This is a great course. I am a high school teacher and have completed the adult version of this course twice. I am recommending this new course to my students. It is certainly pitched at the right level for high school students and is equally interesting for adults. Well done. From a teaching point of view it certainly provides acknowledgement that many of the "traditional" approaches to teaching are beneficial for growing brain-links. I think it is so exciting to have some knowledge of how our brain works. I think this knowledge can set up our students for a greater sense of control in both their academic and personal lives.

Oh! and by the way, the best part of doing the adult version is receiving the "Cheery Friday Greetings" email. Thank you.

The course is an absolute gem for young learners eager to unlock their full potential. It offers a fresh and engaging approach to mastering the art of learning, focusing on practical techniques and strategies tailored specifically for youth. The content is both insightful and easy to follow, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps.

The interactive activities and real-world examples make the lessons both relatable and memorable, fostering a genuine curiosity for lifelong learning. The instructors’ passion for empowering students shines through, creating a supportive and inspiring environment.

I especially appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking skills, which are invaluable for academic success and personal growth. This course equips young people with the tools to excel not just in school, but in all areas of life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to nurture their learning potential!

I found "Learning How To Learn for Youth" to be an incredibly insightful course. The content is engaging and provides practical strategies that are easy to implement. I appreciated the interactive elements and the way complex concepts were broken down into manageable parts. This course offers an engaging and effective approach to understanding learning processes. Each module is well-structured, utilizing metaphors and analogies that resonate with young learners. Utilizing videos, discussions, and practical exercises keeps the content interactive and relatable. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on procrastination and memory techniques, which are crucial for students.

Overall, it’s so precious that it benefits every education at any age. This resource equips students with essential skills for lifelong learning. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their learning skills.

This course was just about perfect, with an upbeat style aimed at young people that can also be enjoyed by adults of any age. Engaging videos, enjoyable exercises, and thoughtful discussion topics were excellently presented. It introduces young people to many helpful learning techniques that will help them throughout their lives.

I did find one aspect of the course quite distracting, and in a course about learning, very irritating. The font used in the video slides used a combination of upper and lower case letters. For example, How to SuCCeeD in SChool Without SPenDing all YouR Time StuDying. It's not quite this distracting because in the videos all the letters are the same height, but because D faces the opposite way to d, my left-handed brain had to take a second look many times. As a child, I had a lot of trouble distinguishing between b and d, 3 and E, and s and z. As for N, which way did it face?

This aspect was a huge disappointment for me. Young readers who might be struggling with reading need the learning materials to be correct.

Because everything else about this course was excellent, I have still rated it 4 stars. I'll probably recommend it to my grandchildren in a few years when they are old enough.

The information in this course is presented in a very interesting, encouraging and attractive way.

The metaphors and examples of how our brains work in learning are related to our daily life, making it easy for the learners to understand deep neuroscientific knowledge.

The excercises and readings provide more food for thought. They are like scaffolds to support the learning. In sum, the course, based on neuroscience, is composed with many practical strategies that can help learners to learn well.

Combined with other learning strategies-- cognitive, metacognitive, and resource management strategies (Berger & Karabenick, 2011), the techniques presented in the course will enhance learners' learning abilities greatly.
