| === The Script ===
| |
|
| |
| This game is a learning exercise for Stacks & Queues in a CS2 level class. The questions are kept at an abstract level.<br />
| |
| It is based on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! The only difference is that our game allows for competition between groups<br />
| |
| composed of three or less students, but the final Million Dollar Question is a collaborative effort amongst all groups.<br />
| |
| If the Million Dollar Question is answered correctly, then Dr. Gehringer has to pay up.<br />
| |
|
| |
| The Process:
| |
|
| |
| Step 1: <blockquote> The class divides into groups of three consisting of people from the same row.</blockquote>
| |
| Step 2: <blockquote>When the game starts the last row is called upon for question #1. Every group from this row is
| |
| allowed to raise their hand<br />and whoever raises their hand first gets to answer the question.</blockquote>
| |
| Step 3: <blockquote>After each question is attempted (answered right or wrong), the next row's groups compete to answer
| |
| the following question.</blockquote>
| |
| Step 4: <blockquote>The game continues to rotate until the final million dollar question is shown. This question is
| |
| attempted by all students in the<br />class. Whichever student thinks they have the correct million dollar answer, may
| |
| come up to the board and show the rest of<br />the students. The answer will then be determined correct/incorrect
| |
| by the professor or the correct answer shown on the game.<br />If the student answers it incorrectly, another student
| |
| may attempt to show his/her answer.</blockquote>
