I've taken dozens of Coursera courses and this is easily the most personally beneficial and practical of them all. The examples, pace, lectures, assessments, and material that one completes are designed to actually increase your competence in this area.

I'm a DEI researcher -- a professional in this field -- and while the topic itself wasn't new, I could recognize the amount of work that was put into this course's design to make it relevant and valuable to learners of all levels. I'll absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to understand the impact of gender on their world shaped around them.

Insightful, well conceived, relevant, interactive... The best MOOC I have taken so far, thanks to the relevant way it has been designed, but also the qualitative content. Beyond the fact that this course is rich of a range of practical examples, the engagement in both profesional and personal plan/project since the beginning is a meaningful added value. Time spent in each module is very well distributed. Wether or not you're a gender champion or interested, this course is very transversal and the learning is nice, having previous knowledge (in gender perspective, marketing, politics...) or not ! Highly recommended.

This course is an eye opener! Many things fly under the radar and this course gives us the necessary gear to track and identify them!!! A must! A must !!!

All instructors and resource speakers are awesome! This course can be understand easily because of their expertise! Thank you!

This course was very rich in information and learning opportunities for me. The content was well organized, the speakers were experts in the field and the frameworks and examples provided have enabled me to take this information and consider how to actually apply this in my day-to-day role. I highly recommend to anyone interested in gender equity and pondering the question of "but how do I actually do this?" Very valuable and I have high expectations for the rest of the 4 courses as a part of this certificate.

I found the course contents very interesting and useful for learning and practice for the development of policy, product, services and process design.

I also found the members of Gender Studies Faculty at the University of Toronto knowledgeable and very professional. I could feel the professional disposition far away in Nigeria.

I want to appreciate Coursera for systemic flawless in addition for providing me with financial aid to take course 1 of the 5 courses of Gender Analysis for Innovation.

The course deisgned to address some of the pressing issues which have an all round presence weather in policy making, product deisging or strategising. The course is important for any one who wishes to see a more inclusive world and society building since it is deisgned in such a manner to include as many professions, students and genreralist.

Great way to start the specialization. If you have a background in Feminist/Women's studies or GRSJ studies this will help as a refresher and frame a lot of the concepts of gender and intersectionality from a product/service design lens. Very fun assignments too!

I have learned so much on this first module of the Gender specialization program seeing it from different angles and especially on how to promote diversity and inclusivity.

I hadn't intended to finish the course so soon. I still planned to go back and do the assessments over again to raise my mark. Not sure if I can still do that or not.

Brilliant foundation to learn more about the key concepts in gender analytics, diversity, equality and inclusion. Engaging instructors and great examples.

Very inspiring and beautifully integrated with impactful insights. Fully recommended!

So much valuable information. It has helped me to think differently.

Thanks for putting this course together. Its very well structured.

A thorough insight into gender analytics. Very inspiring!

Excellent foundational course in gender analytics

Clear, excellent speakers

An excellent course.

Amazing course!

The course was superbly designed. I especially liked the question and answer format in the videos. It compels you to think. It draws out ideas and encourages you to be interactive rather than just passively imbibing information. I struggled with week two however as the framework is very complex and a bit daunting when placed before you so early in the course. I returned to week two at the end. If the framework includes a live example running throughout and perhaps some pictures, the spectre of so many tables all at once will not be daunting for a beginner :). All in all a very enjoyable experience. The clarity of thought of the chief course organizer Ms Kaplan shines through strongly all along and makes things very easy to assimilate. A heartfelt thank you to each and every instructor and guest who facilitated my learning as also some students who contributed interesting perspectives.
