Loved it, loved the fallacies and the statistics... could do with idiot's guide to using the videos as I didn't discover the subtitle options until halfway through the course...

It was an amazing job of the professor and all of the people who contribute. Really, from a brazilian woman who didn't understand english in a very perfect way, it was amazing.
