About the Course

Want to solve a murder mystery? What caused your computer to fail? Who can you trust in your everyday life? In this course, you will learn how to analyze and assess five common forms of inductive arguments: generalizations from samples, applications of generalizations, inference to the best explanation, arguments from analogy, and causal reasoning. The course closes by showing how you can use probability to help make decisions of all sorts. Suggested Readings Students who want more detailed explanations or additional exercises or who want to explore these topics in more depth should consult Understanding Arguments: An Introduction to Informal Logic, Ninth Edition, Concise, Chapters 8-12, by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Robert Fogelin. Course Format Each week will be divided into multiple video segments that can be viewed separately or in groups. There will be short ungraded quizzes after each segment (to check comprehension) and a longer graded quiz at the end of the course....

The course did a good job laying out the uses of inductive arguments in an organized manner. Also, I appreciate how the course organized the basic probability theory,

En general me parece que las explicaciones son pocas para la cantidad de material que es.

Não perca seu tempo com esse curso. Ele é desnecessariamente extenso, desvia para outros assuntos totalmente alheios ao tema. O exercício final, além de também desnecessariamente extenso, extremamente maçante e cansativo, é impossível de ser atingida a nota mínima, pois as simbologias dos enunciados são extremamente confusas, de maneira que apenas decifrar o que cada enunciado está solicitando já é um trabalho hercúleo. São 30 questões, cada uma com um enunciado mais confuso que a outra e que se alteram a cada tentativa, de modo que você não consegue nem reaproveitar o que já havia acertado. Enfim, é um curso extremamente chato, entediante, que poderia custar 10% do tempo que custa se fosse objetivo e que, a não ser por muita sorte, de tão mal elaboradas que são as questões. Um curso feito para você desistir. Abandonei.
