Join Anna Stokke as she interviews Dr. Barbara Oakley, an engineering professor whose work focusses on the relationship between neuroscience and social behaviour.  She is an expert on learning tough subjects and has written several books for teachers and students that detail science-based techniques for learning. 

They cover learning techniques such as chunking and deliberate practice.  They explore why being a slower learner may not necessarily be a drawback and consider whether it’s possible to catch up on math skills later in life.  Dr. Oakley shares some effective study techniques and offers strategies for overcoming procrastination.

Post-secondary educators and teachers will not want to miss this episode.  The learning tips discussed will also be invaluable for students, parents and anyone who wants to become better at learning math.
