This data was collected as part of assessing the effectiveness of a simulation we developed called the Human Rights Foreign Policy Game (HRFPG). This game was designed for a first-year introductory course in human rights (HR100) at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2017-2018 and was used to get students thinking about why a state may choose to act in a pro- or anti-human rights manner. Assessment involved a pretest/post-test design that relied heavily upon open-ended questions. Responses were anonymized and imported into SPSS for analysis. Data collection dates are as follows:
Fall Pre-test: 2017-11-06
Fall Post-test: 2017-11-22
Winter Pre-test: 2018-02-28
Winter Post-test #1: 2018-03-09
Winter Post-test #2: 2018-03-21
