11THIRD EXAM -- MONDAY, April 29th -- THIRD EXAM
Material covered April 10th-April 24th. Format will be IF-ATtest, with both individual and group portions. This test will be
somewhat cumulative (it will ask you to make generalconnections across the course).
Game day is Monday, May 6th, from 11:00-1:30 in Fretwell 121(see specific times below).
Given the logistics involved, it makes sense to split the class intwo with an overlap during which the TAs debut their game, which
requires audience participation. So this is what we'll do:
11:00-12:05: Groups with Gabby, David, Daja, Alex, and Katiebring and play games in 1/2 hour segments
12:00-12:30: All together for TA's game (clickers will check)
12:30-1:30: Groups with Josh, Anna, Hannah, and Patrick bringand play games in 1/2 hour segments
You will each be responsible for rating the games you play.
