Hi Everyone

As part of the Masters in Philosophy program I am doing, I am also taking some free courses offered by other universities. I found one I initially thought was about critical thinking. I was wrong. It's about the psychology of the mistakes we make every day and why we make them. I checked with other mentors, and since it is about experimental results, it is OK to post here if people want to take it. It's free.

As an aside, it is from the university up the road, the University Of Queensland, and you get a glimpse of their beautiful campus near where I grew up.

I found it fascinating.

Thanks
Bill

Suspiciously I was told there was exactly one sign-up opening...

But I may just be paranoid.

I can't check because I have done the course. It gives me - course completed.

I tried another course, also starting today, Introduction to Data Analytics, and it gave me no problem.

Thanks

As I said: I may be too paranoid. I admit I didn't dig deep enough to offer a real serious opinion, so I will give you and the course the benefit of the doubt. Also I'll congratulate you if you feel you gained something.
