Before you start
One device between two of you. Meet Bolty, your referee.
Talk before you tap. When the two of you disagree, that argument is the whole point of the exercise, and whoever turns out wrong will remember this longer than reading the document would have made you.
Twenty-nine cards in four rounds, about twelve minutes. Scores stay between the two of you; they exist so you know whether you have actually read it.
How this runs in class
Twelve to fifteen minutes, pairs, one device. Walk the room while they play; the arguments you overhear are the misconception map for your wrap-up.
- Round 1 is the weight table. Most pairs are surprised the two exams together carry less than the capstone alone.
- Round 2 fixes the completion and quality distinction early, before the first submission.
- Round 3 deals ten situations from a pack of twenty-three, so a replay is a different game. Four cards cover Title IX reporting, counseling, accessibility, and basic needs; the game treats those without jokes.
- Round 4 is six rapid true-or-false course facts from a pack of twelve.
Close by asking which card caused the longest argument, and answer that one out loud.

The weight table, for keeping
| Component | Weight | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Class participation: oral questions, in-class and simulation work | 20% | Completion |
| Laboratory work: in-lab sheets and video presentations | 25% | Rubric; group grade, adjusted by peer review |
| Midterm examination | 15% | Individual; on paper, in the room, devices away |
| Final examination, cumulative | 15% | Individual; on paper, in the room, devices away |
| Capstone project | 25% | Rubric; team grade adjusted by peer review; individual question answering |
| Total | 100% |
Also worth keeping: office hours are Thursdays 12:15–1:15 pm in MDDH 2051 and by appointment, everything is due at 11:59 pm on the date given on Canvas, and the support offices you met in Round 3 are real, free, and used by people doing fine.
