Excellent course. The multiple different characters in the videos were very well done.

The vignettes were helpful in identifying words and actions that one may see as harmless, but another is quite offended by.  Food for thought.

This course seemed very thoughtful to me--even though it was painful at times to think about how I might sometimes not see everything my colleagues experience (I'm white). It really opened my eyes and gave me empathy about this very entrenched problem.

The scenarios were very engaging and covered a wide range of incidents within a broad cross section of people.

It was a little preachy and goofy, but It was entertaining. Some confrontational scenes were a little to aggressive and uncomfortable.

The course was very informative, and I think all workplaces should do the same courses with their employees.

It was interesting to read how the hospital policies and procedures related to the scenarios, but then also be reminded that the first step is speaking up.

I liked that the course was interactive. You could play out evert scenario by selecting a response and realize it wasn't the best choice or confirm it was in fact the right choice.
