This is a must-take course for scientists, academics, and administrators. It brings up what we may have thought as distant and unrelated tools together to perform the main task of critical thinking. Before this course, I could not have imagined that the interchange of basic statistics, psychology, and philosophy could lead me on the path to find the answer for some difficult questions. Prof. Nisbett is also a character that cannot be missed. The way he put his ideas in order has turned this course into an immersive experience.

very informative course
very well articulated
THIS WAS AWESOME !
In my opinion, a must-take course. Hopefully someday it will be included as mandatory curriculum for public high schoolers all around the world.
Well structured course, good timing for the lessons, engaging content and highly relevant. I loved it. Thank you professor Nisbett.
good
very good
The Professor is a great communicator. His information is clear and concise. I found his class to be a bit entertaining but interesting. ( his examples were funny ). Every topic was great. Now I think each one of these could be expanded on more but I understand the scope of the course and the goals were acheived to get his agenda accomplished. I found the last section was my favorite. Knowing about Syllogisim and didactic arguments are very useful.
I benefited a lot from this course because it is easy to convey the information, really an achievement that deserves thanks to the organizers of this training course
