Teaching

As well as research, 1000minds is widely used for teaching

1000minds is used for teaching students in various disciplines in many universities worldwide. Students say that having their own 1000minds login and getting to use 1000minds themselves – e.g. class project – is both empowering and fun.

The skills students develop while learning about Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) or conjoint analysis are very useful, both professionally and personally. Life is all about making decisions involving trade-offs!
