EOC Week 4: Jeopardy Evaluation

Creating a Jeopardy game to review the definitions and key terms was an interesting way to study them. I found it very interesting and easier to remember. Pinto told us we were going to be playing these games in class but never said who’s game, which kept us on our toes making us study the definitions even more. The class participation was at it’s full potential making the game nerve racking and anxious to find the term. Some of the terms were easy some of the definitions were extremely hard, but creating the game and playing the game made it fun and didn’t feel so much like studying. I feel confident after playing the game with the class that I am fully prepared for the class mid-term, but that’s not going to stop me from studying more at home. I think this was a great way to implement the mid-term and the studying to go along with it. I love the fact that we are always on edge meaning we are never comfortable or given a definite answer. Pinto leaves the class guessing for next weeks lecture. He gave us the Jeopardy game as homework telling us we would be playing Jeopardy in class the next week, but never mentioning if it was his game, my game, or my classmates, so you wouldn’t know what to expect. Then of course playing the game in class he adds his own twists to the rules making it more competitive and making the teams in the class want to win even more. We went from half the class being teamed up against each other, to being split into teams of 5, then switching teams, and being paired up into teams of 3. So it really got us comfortable with our classmates and getting to know each other.
