Sequence #2 GBA+ Certificate = 30 minutes
- For the Midterm, you have a component worth 12% because it takes so long and it's marked on a Pass/Fail basis.
- I'm running it this way because what we're finding in the research is that it's still a challenge to bias training! So, at least with a standardized one with interactive elements, we know we've done more than simply lecture about it.
Plus, I like to add variety to your learning strategies. - I strongly encourage you to add this completed certificate to your LinkedIn profile!
