    About the Course

    It’s clear that the world needs more intellectual humility. But how do we develop this virtue? And why do so many people still end up so
    arrogant? Do our own biases hold us back from becoming as intellectually humble as we could be—and are there some biases that actually
    make us more likely to be humble? Which cognitive dispositions and personality traits give people an edge at being more intellectually humble -
    and are they stable from birth, learned habits, or something in between? And what can contemporary research on the emotions tell us about
    encouraging intellectual humility in ourselves and others? Experts in psychology, philosophy and education are conducting e...

    I am definitely enjoying this series of courses on Intellectual Humility. The module by Dr. Vasu Reddy was fantastic, and I hope to see more courses taught by her.

    I believe this course is very important. I am sorry because most scientists, albeit their education, do not even know what intellectual humility is.

    I found aspects of this course very informative. There is a sense that the field is new which is, I suppose, as exciting as it is frustrating. The fourth module presented by Prof. Vasu Reddy is the most engaging presentation I have seen in online education. Her short lectures are fresh and exciting and her keen scholarship is informed by a great breadth of compassion and a natural instinct for inclusion. It is worth taking the course for this alone. I found some of the other material rather dry but that, I feel, may be a matter of taste. The course is well structured and a useful insight into some of the thinking in an important and pioneering field of investigation.

    Course is really interesting, and there is a lot to this topic that I feel should find its way into a modern dialogure, as a critical feature of persons you wish to empower as leaders. If people understood this concept, Trump would not have won. But the section on correlations and data speak are really a bit tedious. Coursera is not really the format for data-intense courses on statistics, in my view the key is to focus on main conclusions and lectures should not be a reproduction of research results as in a technical paper re-.broadcast.

    It is an interesting course and very simple to follow. The things, I learned, are that intellectual humility is connected to different things as stated by different professors. So each of professors were correct, then their views would be more confusing than clarifying. However, intellectual humility is a very controversial topic and it is good to look at it from different angle.

    I guess you may learn a lot of things you didn't know about Humility. Those will make you think about how to become a more humble person, and you will be aware of the importance of that virtue in your day to day life. Don't hesitate to take this course after the Theory.

    Really enjoyed this course. When I signed up for it I wasn't sure what to expect and it certainly surpassed any expectations I did have. Well worth doing to understand our biases and how we might better engage with the world.
