Free Online Course by the University of Queensland: “The Science of Everyday Thinking”

Do you want to learn how to think better, argue better, and choose better? Join this free online course on "Learn how to think better, argue better, and choose better", brought to you by the University of Queensland.

Through this course, you will explore the psychology of our everyday thinking:

• Why people believe weird things.
• How we form and change our opinions.
• Why our expectations skew our judgments.
• How we can make better decisions.

We'll discuss and debate topics such as placebos, the paranormal, medicine, miracles, and more. You will use the scientific method to evaluate claims, make sense of evidence, and understand why we so often make irrational choices. You will begin to rely on slow, effortful, deliberative, analytic, and logical thinking rather than fast, automatic, instinctive, emotional, and stereotypical thinking.

Enrol yourself here! The class starts on 8 February.
