The course structure is very excellent, moving with central theme of Thought Experiment - this course runs across different areas of Philosophy, like river runs through Mountains and Valleys; the sparkling effect of a movie as an introduction provides the taste of philosophical flavor where gap between content of module and our daily lives is bridged, it also generates clarity about applying tough philosophical concepts with bare minimum effort. As a learner, more questions in quiz across all profiles and structured notes with detailing in glossary could have helped me in organizing the learning.

Excellent short course at the introductory level. De Mey is a good instructor and presents interesting lectures. I was not thrilled by his idea of using movies-film, if you will- to illustrate philosophical concepts; there are plenty of real life examples, but that is his choice. I suggest taking all quizzes and doing the final assignment. Overall very worthwhile.

The course content described in the syllabus was just what I was looking for and, for the most part, it was delivered as described and was enlightening. However, Dr. DeMay is an enjoyable lecturer. However, his strong accent was, to my American English ears, difficult to follow. I was better able to follow when using the transcripts to read along with the video lectures. However, since the transcripts apparently are created using voice recognition software, there are quite a few errors in the sentence structure, words, capitalization, and punctuation. Trying to refer back to the transcripts for study without the videos was quite difficult when scanning for specific terms and ideas. The transcripts need considerable review and editing. For me, it was distracting and frustratingly difficult to comprehend the ideas being presented. I abandoned the course half way through. So this review applies only to the first four modules (weeks). Best of luck to anyone who attempts this course.

I think sometimes something would have been said more clearly good General

I have taken several courses through Coursera, and this is the only one I regret. It was difficult the understand, did not seem to address PHILOSOPHICAL thought experiments, unless you count experiments in format logic. I would not recommend this course to anyone.
