Review

  • The class was very easy to understand as the important items and points were repeatedly explained and summarized for each learning theme. It was my first time to study at a business school, but I was able to understand the thinking procedures of an MBA.

    Engineering 20s Female

  • I was able to solve the problems I was having in my work experience. I was troubled that my thoughts and opinions were not understood by others, but I realized that it was my own lack of skills to communicate logically.

    Sales 30s Female

  • I was able to deepen my understanding of the importance of having an awareness of the issues and the importance of logical thinking by explaining the theory using concrete examples. I feel that this is a skill that I can take back to my workplace and put to use immediately.

    Healthcare 30s Male

  • I learned a lot of new things from the discussion lectures that used cases. Through the group work, I was able to re-evaluate my own thoughts and it was a very meaningful time.

    Sales 40s Male

  • I felt the enthusiasm of the professor and learned a lot. He started with the basic stance of critical thinking and also talked about management philosophy, which made the class fruitful.

    Administrative 30s Male

  • The lecture was well done and I was able to understand better. The pre-assignment was difficult, but the class cleared it up for me.

    Sales 20s Female

  • This is a great opportunity to learn about critical thinking in a systematic way. It gave me an opportunity to reevaluate my way of thinking in the future.

    Professional 30s Male

  • I was able to learn the basic attitudes for studying management and MBA. I feel that it is meaningful that it is the first course in the schedule of all the courses.

    Clerical 30s Female

  • Even though it was my first time to take an online class, and I had to borrow a place to take the class, I was impressed by the way the teacher talked to me to ease my tension, and the personality of the teacher that came across in the class even though it was online.I was able to understand the meaning and content of issues that I had been struggling with and not understanding.I would like to start working again tomorrow to make use of what I learned, and to be grateful for the time I have to learn and grow as a person. Thank you very much.

    Engineering 40s Male

  • I learned a lot from the lecture, which started from the basics in a systematic way. In particular, I was impressed by the points that I usually lacked, such as explaining in terms of the other person's position, purpose, and words, and presenting options and evaluating qualitative things quantitatively as a basis. I was also impressed by the systematic instruction on the process of problem solving, which I would like to utilize in my practice.

    Public Service 50s Male

  • The professor's own consulting experience was included in the lecture, which was very helpful. Also, the way the examples were presented was concrete and easy to understand.I have always had a hard time finding issues in my actual work, and I have always done things like As-Is, To-Be, and To-Do based on experience and feeling. I think I will be able to use this in my actual work from tomorrow.If you have a chance, I would be happy to hear about what actually went well and what did not go well when you developed the To-Do system during your consulting days.In addition to Critical Thinking, I would like to take another class from Mr. Miyake. Thank you very much!

    Banking 30s Male

  • He taught us various academic ways of thinking and how to incorporate them into our work, but he also gave us a stern and serious warning not to practice them in our company with half-hearted knowledge.

    Services 20s Female

  • Through class discussions, participants were exposed to a great deal of logic as they shared their approaches and the thinking behind the process by which they chose their approaches.

    Clerical 30s Female

  • I gained a systematic understanding of the framework of thinking and analytical methods. I was able to learn new perspectives not only about pure critical thinking, but also by talking about various industries and businesses. I also liked the fact that the professor was enthusiastic.

    Management 50s Male

  • It was interesting with many concrete examples. This was my first time attending a lecture and I was quite nervous, but I was able to get into it because of the good way the instructor proceeded.

    Administrative 30s Male

  • The class encouraged active participation and was a great foundation for my MBA studies.

    Administrative 20s Male

  • I was able to learn how to use critical thinking in a way that is effective, given its limitations.

    Services 30s Male

  • In the definition of critical thinking, I felt that I am currently lacking in always assuming criticisms and counterarguments to my own arguments. I learned that it is important to be aware of issues and objectives, and to pursue issues and answers to them through the framework, rather than just making assertions, because this will lead to the investigation of causes. Since my goal is to become a tax accountant in the future, I felt that the concept of critical thinking is something I would like to use as a way to solve problems with management.

    Tax Accountant Office 20s Male

  • I was able to learn how to analyze the root cause of a problem, such as where the root cause of a problem lies, and how to analyze what kind of cases exist on the path to solving the problem.

    Professional 30s Female

  • We were able to learn about techniques and basic attitudes of "thinking" such as logical development, assurance of objectivity, and organization of thoughts. Critical thinking can be used at work from tomorrow with immediate effect. In addition, I thought it was very useful for selecting my own options when I stand on the way back to my life in the future. It is a skill that cannot be acquired in a one-size-fits-all manner, but I would like to improve my critical thinking and logical thinking in my life and work from now on.

    Professional 40s Male

  • It was a very informative lecture where I learned about a series of ideas and pitfalls when doing Critical Thinking. Thank you very much! Thank you very much for the two days.

    Services 30s Female

  • YES man, this was an opportunity to change my optimistic thought process.

    Administrative 30s Male
