Instructor was excellent! The presentation of material was very well done.

Dr. Richard Baker did an excellent job in explaining DE&I and how to create a strategy for the workplace. I thought I was knowledgable about DE&I, but after taking this class, realized that I really only knew about diversity, but was lacking in understanding the true meaning of equity and inclusion. I believe I can truly be a better manager and make strides to make a diferrence in all of my future endeavors, including living my every day life.

Awesome instructor and very important information to understand DE&I in the workplace . Great questions and feedback from Dr. Richard Anthony Baker as well as class participation.

great content. Easy to understsnd and follow.

Great introductory course, gives just enough without delving too deep. Great starter course.

Good course to learn some basics about DE&I and to understand the difficulties you could encounter in applying DE&I in organizations

I would say that it was an incredibly enlightening and valuable experience. This course exceeded my expectations and provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the importance and intricacies of DE&I within organizational context. Each module was well structured and presented in a manner that was easy to follow. The course also incorporated various resources and materials, including readings, videos and supplementary materials, which further enriched the learning experience.

Overall, "Defining DE&I Specialization in Organizations" was a transformative course that provided me with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to drive meaningful change within my own organization.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) courses on Coursera typically focus on exploring the concepts and practices of creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, community, or society. These courses can cover a range of topics, including unconscious bias, microaggressions, intersectionality, cultural competency, and effective strategies for promoting DE&I. The course format may include video lectures, quizzes, discussions, and practical exercises.

Dr. Baker is an engaging presenter. I like his clarity and honesty. He's not waiting for a miracle or assuring us that DE&I was, is, or will ever be successful in organizations. He is showing us ways to keep pushing forward. He is warm, sincere, and inspirational in his methods and message.

Completing a DE&I course has always been a career dream for me, and I am glad and honored to take a DE&I course that Rice University created. I enjoyed the thought-provoking discussion posts and enjoyed Dr. Baker's origin story and explaining why DE&I is essential.

Phenomenal job!

The videos and discussion questions were very practical, and they gave me a valuable opportunity to reflect on the diversity efforts within my organization. I would have appreciated receiving more feedback in the discussion forums.

An educative, insightful course with practical learnings on how to advocate for DE&I efforts in your organization. I strongly recommend it for both upcoming and experienced DE&I professionals!

I really enjoy all of Mr Baker’s courses. I lIke all of the information he packs into a course. He’s very engaging when he speaks and keeps my attention. I learn a lot from his courses.

A pratically well-structured DE&I lecture presents a clear overview and idea about the key issues, elements and frameworks happened in nowadays organisations.

The instructor Dr Baker is very good at beginning with the basics without dummy-ing it down and then builds until a full understanding comes. Thank YOU!

Great source of realistic approach to DEI, this will assit me in building my action plans for organizations.

I like what this training offered. The work was good and the material that they shared was excellent.

This class gives a good foundation to the benefits and challenges of DE&I efforts in the workplace.

Excellent instructor. Course was well organized and the content was informative and easy to digest.
