No—it’s brand new. But I’ve listened to dozens of lectures from The Teaching Company. 90% of them are excellent.
Is this like posting a link to an article that you haven’t read? Maybe. A key difference being that 1) I have prior experience with the high quality of TTC products, and 2) if I waited until I’ve listened to it, the sale would be over and it would cost $130.
Hi, just wondering if anyone has actually listened to it yet, and what do they think???
I’m 3⁄4 of the way through, and have done a lot of the ttc courses, but am surprised at how dull/obvious this course seems to be.
While some parts of it are potentially interesting (like cognitive biases and such), the majority of the course seems rife with neologisms as proffered by business managers (I actually groaned when the lecturer mentioned a “pre-mortem” analysis).
I do however think they got the title right, it’s definitely not the “science” of decision making, because although it is based on case studies it comes across as very simplistic and at times often vague and uncritical. It could however just be aimed at business manager types, so this may just be me comparing it to some of the more hardcore ttc courses I love (my favourite would have to be the Philosophy of Science).
Thoughts, opinions?
Phil.
