I've taken several online courses on logic and argumentation. This one stands out by virtue of the professor's enthusiasm and clarity of explanations. Worth every minute I've spent on it.

This course goes super in depth on how arguments work. I learned things in this course that'd I'd never heard of before and it gave me a more critical view on how people say things.

The course is unusual but great, as a student at University, having a course about thinking it helps to check what I'm saying before to do it.

I do enjoy it but this course is mainly focused on theory. Sometimes, it is hard to understand and I still think it should be more practical.

Much more difficult than I anticipated. Confusing. But I did learn a lot and took tons of notes, so I will review. Thank you.

The course is related with language and logical analysis , so it's a little hard to learn because my English is very poor.

It's very well-thought. The examples are clear and the explanations are simple.
It lacks more practice exercises, though.
