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 best professors and I learned a lot. I have finished three of them and I am learning the fourth. I really like the break down of the classes.

The course is great but beware of the strange quiz system that gives you a new set of questions each time, making it difficult to grade. Dr. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong is a great professor and instructor. He is the main reason I am pursuing this specialization. His lectures are full of joy and enthusiasm.

excelente curso, podría decir que son de los mas desafiantes, falta corregir algunos errores de traducción, pero sin duda son de lo mejores para empezar a argumentar con mas profundidad.

Fascinating review of inductive reasoning. The "three circles" explanation of Sufficient and Necessary was clear. All the additional explanations just detracted from it.

Algunas de las preguntas de los exámenes y transcripciones de los videos estaban incompletas o eran difíciles de entender por la traducción del ingles al español.

Es muy buen curso, te hace razonar en muchas situaciones, te ayuda a tu desarrollo mental y te retroalimenta a lo que suponías ya sabias y no era asi del todo.
