It is a very helpful course to improve your critical thinking skills. It also encourages you to think outside the box, allowing you to recognize and absorb different point of views and approaches you have never thought of by raising your awareness. Thank you Lucia.

I would provide 4.5/5 for the topics that has been covered and important points discussed. Worth time and effort. Should have included and discussed few more real life examples of misinformation and how it impacted real lives.

This is really a good piece of information for common people like me. The things around us are not really what they seem like. We have to analyze things and get to a better solutions. Anyways time spent on this course worthy for my life. It's just 30 min course. Have a glimpse on that.
