Description
Unconscious Bias in the Workplace; Unconscious Bias Training Exercises begins by considering what unconscious bias is and considers real life examples of the types of unconscious bias particularly common in the workplace.
Our unconscious bias training exercises are broken down into whether they are effective in reducing unconscious bias in the short-term or long-term. In one particular lesson (Proximal vs. Distal explanations of Phenomena), Ermin breaks down the science and reasoning for why some strategies for reducing unconscious bias are only short-term and why others are long-term.
Throughout the course, Ermin relies on different strategies to raise awareness and combat unconscious bias. There is a clear focus on education, in particular how human behavior and unconscious bias are related, critical thinking, and practical activities. Short-term solutions are more about awareness and action to reduce bias, while long-term solutions are more about building social networks of influence that make permanent change more likely.
Who this course is for:
- Individuals interested in how unconscious bias presents itself in the workplace
- Individuals interested in unconscious bias training exercises

I have a passion for anything data, whether it is applying statistical methods to data more generally, or utilizing a data-driven approach in the Healthcare or Finance/Banking industries.
I studied Psychology for 6-years, including 2 years of Graduate school, where I was training to be a Child/School Psychologist. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience a blend of course work and clinical work but also recognize some of the problems facing the mental health system and graduate school system. While I am very interested in finding a solution for the latter, this is a long-term goal.
I did ultimately decide to voluntarily leave the Grad program, it was via academics that I fell in love with statistics and statistical software like SPSS/SAS.
Furthermore, it was my Graduate school experience that not only solidified my interest in teaching, it's where I received a lot of positive feedback on my ability to break down complex topics.
I enjoy receiving messages from students who have passed exams, obtained interviews, or gained employment, from taking one of my courses.

Para meus alunos de língua portuguesa ...
Sou apaixonado por estatística, ciência de dados, programação orientada a objetos e psicologia / saúde mental. Eu desenvolvi um conhecimento em Programação e Estatística SAS através da minha escolaridade e auto-estudo. Também sou autodidata em programação orientada a objetos.
Eu sou um ex-aluno de graduação em psicologia educacional. Dois anos depois, decidi me retirar voluntariamente. Aprendi que o ambiente acadêmico tradicional e o ambiente clínico não eram o caminho adequado para promover mudanças em larga escala.
Ensinar é uma paixão há muito tempo. Criei meu primeiro curso de vídeo online em 2016 (um curso de Estatística). Foi um projeto de pura paixão. Como resultado de obter ótimos comentários, continuei! Atualmente, ensino os cursos de SAS, estatísticas e psicologia, mas também estou sempre aprendendo. Gosto de receber mensagens de alunos que passaram nos exames, obtiveram entrevistas ou obtiveram emprego ao fazer um de meus cursos.
