Learnt how to learn through a course on Coursera
All thanks to professors Terrence and Barbara
Started out with modes of learning
Focused vs diffused, unlearning and relearning
Deliberate practice to work the brain
Memory is a muscle, let us together train
Similar topics you may chunk
Exams would then be a slam dunk!
Over time our concentration tires
Let's beware of metabolic vampires
Sleep well, things shift to long-term memory
Only then we move from novice to mastery
Working memory is limited with 4 slots
We must learn to connect the dots
Interleaving along with spaced repetition
Against yourself is the sole competition
Transfer learning - something you can try
Similar concepts to other subjects, you must apply
Illusion of learning - don't fall prey
Else later, a heavy price you might pay
Cramming or planning? It's your choice
Whether playing or studying, keep your life in poise
Create mnemonics or use a memory palace
Find ways to remember your Wonderland, Alice!
Build habits via cue, routine, reward, belief
They'll help you heave a sigh of relief
Use the Pomodoro timer, become gritty and witty
In the end, you'll encounter the Law of Serendipity!
Discover joys in consuming knowledge
Doing things the right way can be your pledge
Level up your academic credential
Learning how to learn is indeed essential
