Хорошое введение в научный подход к риторике, логике, статистике.
Не сухое, с в меру занятными примерами, интересное.
Конкретно я не нашел вообще ни одного бита новой информации, но профессор же не виноват, что я изучил все это в других источниках.
Как общее введение для тех, кто еще не знакомился с самой возможностью применить математику во вроде бы гуманитарных областях.
И полезная прививка, чтобы не позорится из-за того, что наступаешь на грабли, на которые не только многие уже наступали, но еще и детально их описали..
Название желтоватое, но сама лекция вполне качественная.

Although some of this was very basic, overall it covered an excellent range of topics related to critical and rational thinking.

Will this course really make you the most rational person in any room? I doubt it. While it does an admirable job of covering a useful assortment of topics regarding the way we think, there is a distinct lack of depth to most lectures. If you're new to the ideas around philosophical thinking then this is a great starting point though.
Having done this as a purely audio experience, I did find it hard to follow a number of lectures that kept referring to visual elements. It wasn't impossible to follow along, but this was the first time in a Great Courses audiobook where that's been an issue, so I'd definitely recommend having the supplementary material on hand for those lectures.
For a few lectures, it also helps to be able to interact with the material as the presenter recommends. While I might have been unable to do that, I do somewhat regret it since some of the exercises were very informative and would have been even more so had I had the time to stop and really think through the problems and analyze how I went about them.
Around 3 or 4 of the lectures were notably better than the rest and I'd almost recommend this course just to hear those. However, in a series of 24, half-hour lectures, I did hope to learn more than just the basics of a very useful skill. They claim that this is university-level subject matter and while that may be the case, I think this is actually better suited to high school students or simply anyone who's unfamiliar with the concepts.
