CLASSROOM JEOPARDY (c) 1988,1989 DEC Computing Classroom Jeopardy is a game for an entire group of students that is patterned after the TV game of similar name. There are 6 categories, each with 5 levels of answers, with increasing values. CATEGORY 1 CATEGORY 2 ............ CATEGORY 6 100 100 100 200 200 200 300 300 300 400 400 400 500 500 500 Steps prior to playing CLASSROOM JEOPARDY ----------------------------------------- o The class is divided into 2 or 3 teams. o A captain from each team is stationed near the computer keyboard. o The CLASSROOM JEOPARDY game is started by typing "JP-GAME". [Registered users have the option of entering answers of their own choosing. This allows the instructor to tailor CLASSROOM JEOPARDY to be completely compatible with the actual course content.] Playing CLASSROOM JEOPARDY -------------------------- Preliminary Steps 1. Set up for 1-3 teams, by typing the appropriate number. 2. Each captain chooses a key (the TEAM KEY) to type when his/her team wants to respond. 3. Each team chooses a team name and types it in. 4. If you wish to have a display of the time remaining in CLASSROOM JEOPARDY, answer "Y" and type in the number of minutes that you want. 5. Choose if you want to have sound effects used during play. 6. A listing of CLASSROOM JEOPARDY 'answer' files will be displayed, select the 'answers' of your choice and type the carriage return . Actual Play 1. One captain uses the arrow keys to highlight an amount and category for the answer. 2. When the proper square is chosen, the carriage return or any TEAM KEY is typed. 3. The answer is displayed in gigantic letters. 4. The captain, looking over his/her team, types the TEAM KEY when one of his/her team members raise his/her hand. 5. The computer will display which TEAM KEY was pressed first. (both audibly and on the screen) 6. The captain of that team then calls on a member of his/her team to respond (should be in the form of a question). 7. The instructor (acting as moderator) decides if the response is correct, and adds (or subtracts) points accordingly. 8. If a team gives an incorrect response, then the other teams may make an attempt to respond and receive (or lose) points. 9. The last correct 'questioner' is allowed to choose the category and amount of the next answer. 10. There is a DAILY DOUBLE. The team picking the DAILY DOUBLE may wager any portion of their total (or up to 500). 11. When time has expired (either if the timer runs out or at the discretion of the moderator), move to DOUBLE JEOPARDY (type F1 then D). After DOUBLE JEOPARDY, all teams with a positive score may play FINAL JEOPARDY. 12. FINAL JEOPARDY (to get to FINAL JEOPARDY, type F1 then F) can be handled any way that the instructor desires. One very effective way, is to have the captain wager any portion of their point total. When the answer is displayed, each team member writes his/her question on a sheet of paper. Each response counts the amount of the wager. Using this method affords each team member a chance to play for the team.
