Ratings and Reviews for Mindware: Critical Thinking for the Information Age

Nice concise course. Explains basics of correlation, causation, std deviation, 5-6 cognitive biases and logical reasoning/thinking. Overall good course, would recommend. What I personally didn't like (would love to see changed) is - 1) not requiring correct answers for pre-lecture quizzes 2) not allowing free form entry text for answers type questions in quizzes that count towards marks/grades 3) Lesson 8b - Dialectical Reasoning (I wish this topic was not included in the course, maybe it can be replaced by something different/better. As usual, many thanks to professor for sharing his knowledge and to all involved in making this course available to us - on-demand and free !

Excellent! A very informative course delivered in a very effective manner. I would highly recommend this course to all who have any interest at all in critical thinking.

Very nice course with real life examples, where one needs to think critically.

Hi and thanks for this course. It inspires me to study deeper statistics, logic and other topics included in the course. The only issue that I faced with is how should I use that in a real world? Lot of (or even all) information given in this course was new to as an academic subject. And I feel lack of understanding how can I use it in practice. So, my feedback is add some practical assignments (with no review, of course) or give some hint about how start using that. It'll be very handy. Anyway, thank you for that. That was really great. P.S. I would be very appreciate if you can give some ideas about my issue. You can text me on [email protected] But of course, it's only by your grace. I've no reasons to expect and insist on it.

This course is really helpful to start thinking in a critical way. It open your mind to a new kind of reasoning, a right kind of reasoning.

great course with worthwhile information....thanks.

It's an amazing course designed to help us think better in the world we live in. I'd recommend it to everyone as a basis to start evaluating your own ways of thinking, finding the flaws and creating new ways and healthier habits when making decisions. It's fully worth the time. Thank you for such quality content.

Great course. Mini size but still can makes a change to you.

This course was very successful in bring to light many concepts we need to carefully understand to don't evaluate everyday problems. It's based on explanatory examples that are much more acessible to everyone that complex mathematical notations. It worth to do.

This is exactly what I needed in my field of work. Have been looking for this for several years and glad I found it.
