Jepson Philanthropy Institute
In 2015, I taught Critical Thinking through an analysis of Effective Altruism. As part of that class, students learned critical thinking skills by assessing four different charities and donating $500 per class to one charity. Both classes chose to donate to GiveDirectly. Students also completed their own charity evaluations.
