Program Assessment: Stereotype Jeopardy APRIL 15, 2016
OVERVIEW + CONTEXTFor many people, stereotypes can be an uncomfortable topic to discuss. OID’s Student Diversity and Inclusion Programming Unit took note of this and decided to address the touchy subject in a hands-on activity.
Inspired by the popular TV game show Jeopardy, the students engaged their peers in three rounds of Stereotype Jeopardy.
This fun and engaging format allowed participants to test their knowledge of stereotypes in a disarming way.
A debriefing was held at the conclusion of the game to address comments, questions and concerns.
A total of 10 students and two alumni from the College took part in the program.
