I have young kids (6 and under) and I'm starting down this
path to get to a point to where I can eﬀectively teach and
talk to my kids about it as they grow up. It's sad to see the
lack of critical thinking being taught, so I applaud what
you're doing. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. I
am working on my first ever argumentative essay. It has
been a roller coaster. Your videos made it a lot easier to
tackle.
- Rebekah Davis

I'm studying a philosophy/psychology double major and
have found your lessons super helpful and incredibly
interesting. This kind of knowledge is particularly
important in a world where misinformation often pervades
social discourse on important issues, especially in the
political sphere.Without the appropriate tools how can
anyone separate fact from fiction, good information from
bad information?
- David Nauendorf

I wanted to thank you for your podcasts and videos. They
are very well done and very informative. You have opened
my eyes to a new way of thinking. I find myself, with much
enjoyment, constantly seeing fallacies (formal & informal)
in diﬀerent things, especially documentaries that have an
agenda other than pure education. Being years out of
college and never being introduced to critical thinking, I
truly love it now!
Thanks again & please keep up the great work!!
- Drew

I discovered your website a few days ago. Not to blow
sunshine up your skirt, but your material is far superior to
anything I've found, and I've searched in many places.
Congratulations on your very comprehensive and accessible
lectures and materials.
- Norvell

I ran into your videos in the area of critical thinking while
research the impact of confirmatory bias in my own
industry. Your lessons have been very informative, and are
helping me to develop a very diﬀerent lens through which to
present, and potentially resolve, challenges of security in
our increasingly interconnected world.
I send this note to simply thank you for your dedication to
your topic, and to let you know that your impact extends
beyond what you may have expected as your likely audience.

I have been amazed by the clarity with which you have
presented the concepts related to critical thinking. In my 5
years of teaching internal medicine residents, I have
struggled to identify elements of critical thinking, so that
they can be taught to budding physicians. A lot of mistakes
in medicine relate to biases. I do annual morbidity and
mortality conferences and it has become evident to me that
lack of critical thinking is at the heart of many adverse
outcomes for patients.

A YouTube video shouldn't teach me more than 4 years of
high school, but it did.

Hey, just wanted to say I enjoy your courses a lot! And I also
wanted to let you know that it proves as excellent
supplemental knowledge for the LSAT. I intend to pass the
news along to those who are also studying for this
deplorable test (although because it's on a bell curve, such
promotion can wait until after February).
- Justin

I went to a good liberal arts college where, as I can recognize
now and as I intuited back then, elements of critical
thinking were taught and practiced, but it was all hit or
miss, never a package deal. ... Yours is the first resource
that gave me what I needed, partly because it came in
reasonable bites and was presented in a short time frame
with basic concepts that, again, were clear.
- Robert

After studying your "how to write a good essay" videos my
organization of thoughts improved to a point that I went
from receiving a "F" on my essays to earning an "A". Thank
you.
- opusx300

As a mechanical engineer I had a bad picture of philosophy
as a waste of time. Why sit around and talk about stuﬀ
when you could build stuﬀ? After stumbling on your
channel and watching your videos I have to say sorry. If
everyone knew how to think critically the world would be a
better place.
- smeggie2

A quick message to say thanks for these videos. As I embark
on preparing for a new career (law school), I realized my
weaknesses: English Writing and Critical Thinking. Two
essential skills to succeed in law school. Your videos have
been sunshine on rainy days.
P.S. I am strongly considering a second undergraduate
degree in philosophy prior to applying to law school. That
subject is simply fascinating.
- Ann

I've viewed many, many critical thinking discussions.
Kevin's Critical Thinker Academy is the best -- one that I
come back to often to review and sharpen my
understanding of critical thinking principles.
- Terry Grapentine

I have followed Kevin's work since a previous blog on the
same topic. I am a "mature" student and I learned so much
at the time. This new and enriched version of the course is
absolutely phenomenal and I would suggest students of any
age and experience to sign up and take the time to go
through the course. There are a lot of lessons to be learned
and actually put in practice immediately.
- Georgio Bendoni

This is top notch university instruction available on your
laptop. The course content is easily the equivalent of that in
the college-level critical thinking course that Prof.
deLaplante has been teaching for over fifteen years. It's a
great supplement to regular classroom instruction -- or, if
you put the work in to apply the concepts to real world
examples, a great substitute for all learners.
Dr. Jean Goodwin

Engaging and accessible
As a complete beginner with no previous study experience
in any aspect of philosophy, I found this course and Kevin's
teaching style very engaging and accessible. I would
thoroughly recommend this course.
- Sophie Payne

Best course ever on Critical Thinking.
I am a college student and bought this course to
complement my courseware for critical thinking and I have
to give credit to this course.This course helped me
understand them thoroughly and helped me score a 98%. I
felt like Kevin was right in front of me explaining the
concepts. His coaching methods are very eﬀective. I
recommend this course to anyone who wishes to not only
learn about critical thinking but be ahead of the pack.
- Shelley Bhalla

Although I've been fortunate enough to have been exposed
to the subject of critical thinking in high school, I'm
enjoying this more thorough course immensely! Thanks so
much for an easy to digest approach, and for making every
eﬀort to keep focused. It's a real pleasure to learn from such
a disciplined and deliberate mind.
- Nizaar Lilla

I am amazed how good is this course - Recommend to
everyone
The chapters ahead will help me on my thesis thinking
process and I hope you keep adding more things to this
course because it is awesome.
Thanks for taking the time to do it. I definitely recommend
to everybody. There would be no single person that in one
way or another would not benefit from this course.
- Renata Baldissara-Kunnela

Amazing Course - Every Student Should Take It
These courses are full of useful knowledge. I graduated from
a very good law school and from a top-tier liberal arts
college. This course is a succinct, easy-to-understand
presentation of what every person should know. Most of my
classmates (me included at one point) did not understand
these principles and ideas. Every student from elementary
school to graduate school should take this course. If only
this existed when I first went to college ...
- Nicholas Hahn

Very useful
I truly enjoyed the course. I have taken notions of logic and
probability in school and at college, but they were not put in
the context of critical thinking skills. I enjoyed all the varied
sections, in particular introduction to fallacies and how to
write argumentative essays. I learned much more than what
I already know.
- David Matta

The broad perspective in this course is very helpful. I feel my
mind, my perspective, has been opened up further if only
slightly. The list of cognitive biases - WOW! Since I will not
remember all of them, I am looking for general principles to
use by which I can overcome my own biases and see when
biases are at play in others. I am presently studying logic for
mathematical proof. But this course has shown me, clearly,
good reasons for believing there is far more to the human
situation than just logic.
