Excellent course on a deep dive into the world of arguments and their analysis, albeit this particular course deals with a part of it called fallacies. I really liked the course content, lecture delivery style, the quiz questions and the explanation provided to support the answers of the questions. However, for some of the questions that you encounter in the quiz, there is little supporting material in the lecture itself. I guess one can get a very good learning by going through the suggested text book in parallel. But since they suggested that the textbook is optional, I haven't gone through it yet. And without the text book, this course is probably a little bit incomplete.
This course can be made better by suggesting relevant sections in the book to go through as and when required. Probably that would better equip us in answering the quiz correctly.

Really enjoyed the presentations although I thought a few of the videos needed to go slightly deeper into the specific point. Also, I noticed that other participants had gamed the discussions by just entering "n/a" as their contribution (on virtually every topic). I think that should be a disqualifying factor for completion. I find courses to be much more engaging if other participants/student actually engage. But, the course itself was very good. I'd love to take it "live."

This course will be immensely helpful in structuring my thoughts in a logical and manner by addressing pertinent material and avoiding fallacy traps. Thank you so much!!!

This was a nice course. Covers many fallacies in detail. Practice exercises are good. More fallacies could have been covered though. Overall, I did love the course.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Some of the material was conceptually difficult for me (the subtleties in difference in definitions for various fallacious argument types) but I really appreciate being given the tools to dismantle arguments in order to decide whether or not they are sound as well as to formulate my own arguments in such a way as to align my expressions of my beliefs with my values (or at least to question the basis for my beliefs). Excellent course!

The entire course was so well planned and explained! I'm so grateful to have come across the opportunity to learn from Prof. Walter and Prof. Ram. Apart from the compelling course content that I plan to exercise in all kinds of situations to come, I would like to applaud the efforts that were taken to make this course so engaging and amicable. Totally recommend taking all 4 courses.
This will be one of my best learning experiences!

The course was challenging and interesting. I think I may have lost my job in the pursuit of higher education. A simple "not a fit" was the end of my few month career as a third grade teacher and the beginning of my full-time pursuit of higher education. I'm not really sure but the principal ensured me that I should be in higher education. Those kids kind of sucked anyway. Thank you.

Thank you for this course! I am studying various ways to improve my negotiation and communication skills. This course showed me, that it is possible to approach discussion as a logical structure, thus avoiding getting into emotional or personal negotiation track. Even if this is obvious, it never have occurred to me to point out invalid arguments and call them!

This was a nice last part for this specialization. I enjoyed the whole course and learned a lot of new things about logic and critical thinking. I am still a little confused about general logical thinking, but I think it will take some time to develop practical skills.

This series has been quite brilliant. These lectures totally changed the way I formulate my arguments and also help me identify fallacies of arguments of others and mine as well. Overall I strongly recommend this course as well as the entire Think Again series.

Loved it. The jokes in the videos, the great examples and the [spoilers] at the end was amazing! It made learning about fallacies and arguments a breeze and very interesting. I wish more people a lot of fun with this course and keep up the amazing work!

Love this course! been highly motivated by 2 professors, and even I took all the classes to the end but still need more time to practice how to apply it in real life, hopefully I would convince other more after learning.
