Week 4 EoC: Death Race Jeopardy.

With today’s game, we were separated into teams to play Jeopardy based on the definitions we have been learning in the book for the past four weeks. All of the games were created by us, and right there the biggest problem we were faced with was cohesion. Not all of the games made much sense since some people had put a little less effort in creating a well rounded working game. Some of the questions were confusing to understand, and others were misspelled and grammatically incoherent. But thankfully the majority of the games were understandable enough.
As for the teams, well the member who had obviously studied had a chance to stand out and help their team, and those that hadn’t of course didn’t. As the teams continued to separate, those that had studied began to group together more, leaving out the stragglers to fall into their own teams. Even though this might seem unfair to some, you have to remember those that had studied didn’t have to deal with this problem, for they were doing well no matter what team they were in. So there wasn’t any unfairness amongst the group, and I would say this game was very effective in rewarding those that had studied, and allowing those that hadn’t to learn from the game itself.
As for the words that stuck out the most in my head, electronic filing of patent information comes to mind since I would have an interest in using this service if I ever have to file for a patent. Double patent comes to mind since I was interested in knowing what the legal laws were when two people apply for the same invention at the same time, and finally the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office comes to mind since that administrative branch was mentioned in every answer.
