Most professions these days require more than general intelligence. They require in addition the ability to collect, analyze and think about data. Personal life is enriched when these same skills are applied to problems in everyday life involving judgment and choice. This course presents basic concepts from statistics, probability, scientific methodology, cognitive psychology and cost-benefit theory and shows how they can be applied to everything from picking one product over another to critiquing media accounts of scientific research. Concepts are defined briefly and breezily and then applied to many examples drawn from business, the media and everyday life.

Лучшие отзывы о курсе MINDWARE: CRITICAL THINKING FOR THE INFORMATION AGE
Anyone beginner can take this course and be 100 times more understanding of information via any media while also perhaps understanding what is the best choice in some give scenario IRL.
This was an excellent course and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to further their understanding of critical thinking for the new information age.
In my opinion, a must-take course. Hopefully someday it will be included as mandatory curriculum for public high schoolers all around the world.
A pretty crucial look at the common fallacies and biases that influence the way we absorb information. This is highly recommended to all people.
