SO WHAT IS "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

"Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is a TV game show that is played by a single player and a host. Other participants include a studio audience(class). The player gets a series of predetermined questions that escalate in difficulty, with higher reward for each question. There are several prize caps, in which a player will lose all of their money won thus far, if they don't make it to the cap with out missing a question. The player may choose to stop playing after reaching every cap. The player also has access to 3 different forms of help. The player may decide to have half of the answer choices eliminated, have the audience vote on the correct answer, and the choice to call a friend for help on the current question. The player gets a single chance to answer each multiple choice question correctly.

"Who Wants to be a CSC Major"

Review material from CSC 116 and 216 by playing "Who Wants to be a CSC Major?" The Game is played similarly to "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?". A player will go to the front of the class. The teacher will start the Powerpoint and the contestant will answer questions about Java. The teacher can have the student use the internet or pick someone in class for the "phone a friend" option. The annotation tool in Powerpoint can be used during 50-50 choices, and "ask the audience" is just a poll from the class. The player will be able to try and answer a problem more than once.

Extra Credit may be awarded for the amount of questions completed correctly. Don't forget to adhere to the rules of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" .
