eCourse
eSupplement to the 14th Annual Advanced Texas Administrative Law Seminar
Contains material from Jul 2017 to May 2019
Both of these presentations were great. They were obviously hand-picked and that worked. They came at things from a different angle and that made them both interesting and informative. I've heard Claude a number of times and he never gets old. I know it's hard to keep the camera on the presenter and the slides, but I found too little time was spent on showing the slides.
Psycology and Biology of Bias contained excellent information, but was presented way too quickly. It was difficult to absorb the various information provided because a new topic was moved to too quickly. It makes sense for those who were at the end of a conference, but for those just signing in to listen to this topic, it was disappointing. Nevertheless, I would definitely listen to the speaker again.
Some fascinating discussion of the science of decisionmaking and bias but presented too fast.
Always like to listen to Claude

Conspiracy Theory? The Ethical Paradox of “Big is Bad” (Jul 2017)
There was a time when “big business,” and the “big professions” that support it, were revered for their contributions to society. Those contributions continue today, yet “big” is often vilified in the public eye. Explore some recurring themes in this area, from the dark clouds of conspiracy theories to media and political portrayals, and highlight ways in which ethics and professionalism might lead everyone “big” out of the storm.
