Course: INFO 198 / BIOL 106B. University of Washington
Instructors: Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin West
Synopsis: Our world is saturated with bullshit. Learn to detect and defuse it.
The course will be offered as a 1-credit seminar this spring through the Information School at the University of Washington. We aim to expand it to a 3 or 4 credit course for 2017-2018. For those who cannot attend in person, we aim to videotape the lectures this spring and make video clips freely available on the web.

Thank you for uploading these lectures. I've just finished watching the entire course and found it both educational and entertaining!

[@JohnMoor1970]

Excellent series of lectures Carl and Jevin - thank you for such an entertaining and content rich education. Oh, and I agree, it is probably not hyperbole to say that BS is underming democracy (my paraphrasing)

Thank you. One of the least taught and used abilities here in Brazil is Critical Reasoning. Whether creating arguments or debunking them. This class is a good effort in the battle.

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't worry about the bullshit that people put out there. It isn't important.
