✦ Welcome to the Independent Research Essentials Course

Baitman’s Institute is a satire website. We hope that’s obvious.

But behind the nonsense, there’s a real mission.

We want to live in a world where more people can tell the difference between solid research and total garbage 🗑️🧠

In the internet age, sorting information can feel like walking through a minefield in flip-flops:

Half-truths. Viral junk. Slick marketing dressed up as “science.”

We get it.

Not everyone has the time, money, or mental energy to take college-level courses in research or critical thinking.

(And honestly, it shouldn’t be that hard.)

Everyone deserves access to the basic tools to separate fact from fiction.

No jargon. No tuition. No agenda.

Just tools you can actually use 🛠️

This free, self-paced course was built for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting claims, or just wanted more confidence before hitting “share.”

If you’ve ever found yourself deep in a rabbit hole of contradicting information…

Or paused and thought, “I should probably check this first…”

This course is straightforward, honest, and, hopefully, a little funny. Let’s dig in. 🙂
