Understanding and tackling Gender Bias in the workplace (Udemy.com)

It would be nice to know who the speakers are and what their credentials are to be speaking to the topic of gender in the workplace. Unless I completely missed it, the topic in Quiz #1 question #1 was not covered until the following module: 4. Workplace Stereotypes.

A lot of this is stuff I know already, although some of the historical information was interesting. However, the comment about female-named hurricanes is seriously dubious; please look it up on the Snopes website for a great discussion about the validity of that particular experiment. I would have liked more information on how to take steps to get past gender bias and improve an organisation's chances of recruiting and retaining a good gender balance of staff.

Had technical problems several times during this course, program would not stop on some of the responses while I was trying to complete quiz, program would stop in the middle of the course on a working clock and not advance in the course and finally error message came up saying OOps, error try again later. While I really like the content of course the program needs technical assistance to operate as expected.

Yes, it was a good match for me. It challenged my stereotypes of gender which was a good thing. it brought it to my attention and I believe changed my outlook and how I think about gender. Good course. Also, I learned a great deal more through the examples set forth in the second part.

i learn to understand the bias in workplace due to Gender differences and so know how to identify the stereotypes. The instructors are so helpful and clear with the explanation and love the notes for each section. it really summarize the whole course. great learning indeed..:)

Treats gender as a "fixed variable" with only two possible values -- male and female. This is now regarded as old-fashioned thinking. Gender should be regarded as a fluid variable, with "shades of gray" in between male and female. Course needs to be updated.

Indeed very enlightening course and glad the course is out there. First step to change is awareness that such biases exist. And we need to reflect upon our own biases though it is super difficult to acknowledge.

In my opinion, it truly does identify the bias in both male and female genders and how we continue to stereo type each other. Makes me more aware of how I too continue with these old conditioning patterns.

learning on gender biases that date back to the 1600s and the unconscious ways we relate gender biased perspectives for certain titles/jobs has been quite eye opening. I have taken that knowledge and will try to be more aware on these types of scenarios when in the workplace and outside of the workplace.

I liked the way the course and the ideas are organized and presented. Some of the scenario enactments made the ideas more concrete, tangible and easier to grasp. More importantly, this course gave me an opportunity to introspect my own beliefs and re-evaluate by outlook. Thank you.
