In this 5-week course, learners gain vital critical thinking skills as they engage with fun exercises and scenarios. They will improve their reasoning and problem solving abilities.

Class Experience

In 2020, I earned a Master’s degree in Behavioral and Decision Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania. My main subtopic of interest was the field of judgment and decision making, which overlaps with critical thinking.

Too often, I see people absorbing new information unquestioningly and uncritically. Not good! I decided to create a course that would help learners consider many factors before reaching conclusions. This is that course.

I love teaching. I strive to teach my kids something new every day! I have taught them the material in this course.
