Interesting, relevant and interesting
Well worth investing the time to raise my own awareness of the various issues.

Good
Great in making us aware of our naturally ingrained unconscious bias
patchy
I felt a little indoctrinated. It also seemed a little old fashioned, most of the things I have practiced most of my life. It is a little worrisome to suggest to always stop & think, there are some nasty people out there & a good dose of apprehension is healthy. The course also may be triggering for people who have recently gone through trauma & have just started to recognise boundaries for themselves. For all the scenarios I did not knowingly have any bias, I took them all as people. The man on the phone in the meeting, I was surprised that they allowed phone calls, that was it.
An excellent presentation
A clear and concise presentation, demonstrated by videos with a wonderful presenter. Questions throughout and at the end, help to reinforce the information for retention.
Course was OK but it relies but a more diverse presenter would be useful
Particularly with a bias course using a stereo type training presenter is contrary to the content..
Completely pointless
I just spent what felt like 2 hours on a common sense course of the basics of human inclinations and what I think most people learn by their 9th birthday. I'm sure anyone who hasn't figured out how to be aware of biases and the negative effects of stereotypes by adulthood will not benefit by this course, they are beyond help and will always pick the easy option of judging based observed patterns. Hope this helps.
Great course
The course is educative.
Mostly obvious – largely a waste of time
We have a productivity problem in this country, and spending time on a course like this contributes to it. Most people taking this course could spend their time more productively. Someone needs to ask what is the difference between "bias" (bad) and "preference" (not necessarily bad). I'm sure that someone could write a helpful PhD thesis comparing and contrasting unconscious bias with market forces. I'm not sure whether the author(s) of this course see that. Maybe that indicates unconscious bias on my part, or maybe on theirs.
Interesting
This course was very interesting and an eye opener.
