The specific critical incidents used in the course are provided below, followed by a sample that is used to evaluate student engagement for each discussion.

Critical Incident

Alice is a 25-year-old second-generation Chinese woman who has been educated in the United States. Her parents moved here long before she was born; in fact, they met and were married in a northeastern state. Alice is the older of two children and has attended top schools. She is highly intelligent and competitive, and she held a number of leadership roles in high school and college. Alice attended a weekend group relations conference and was assigned to a small group in which she was the only Asian. At first this was not an issue, since she had become used to this pattern in the schools she had attended. The group was to meet for four 1-hour sessions over the weekend. Other small groups were occurring simultaneously, and Alice was engaged in a number of other events during the weekend.

During the second session Alice told the group that she had been a member in other groups that talked about racial and cultural differences. She noted that she was often the leader in these groups and was able to demonstrate her leadership ability, stating that she was good at delegating and getting people to follow her command. She told the members that when she is in a culturally mixed group where she is the minority, she gets frustrated. She found herself falling into the stereotypical Asian female role of being quiet and submissive. She could not identify anything that anyone had done to her. She was perplexed about how she had fallen into that role.
