EOC week 3

Blog Post 3


We are building a game to mimic the infamous TV game Jeopardy to help influence our learning abilities.
First you choose your overall objectives. Look through your curricular standards to choose the information you want to learn and review. In this case we chose topics pertaining to this class which were definitions of patent law. Next I determined my four categories I will be choosing from. The actual game uses six categories in each of the two rounds, as well as a final Jeopardy category. We only came up with 4 plus the bonus round different to modify the game to suit our needs. Next we created our answer to go with all of our questions making sure they matched accordingly and fairly easy to identify as the answer based on how much that Q & A was worth. This will be helpful when we start rotating through material in small groups. Each category will have five answers per category per round bringing it to a total of 21 including the bonus question. We will assign values on each question in the category which represents bonus points for the winning group. Rounds of points will range from $100 to $500 so I will have to make sure that I determine point values carefully. This is the overall idea as to how the game will be set up and then played. All of this will be formatted in a Power Point Presentation that has already been prepared for us by our Teacher. Once our power point is successfully done we will form groups and challenge each other in a round of Jeopardy until a winning group is selected. Hopefully that winning group will be mine!!!

EOC WEEK 2

EOC WEEK 2: What do you think of lawyers?

I don’t have a negative nor positive overall view of lawyers nor have I had any personal experience with in lawyers in my life. If I were going by just things I have heard and saw I think lawyers provide a service for whomever they are defending benefit. In most cases if the lawyer is doing a good job he/she will win the case whether their client is innocent or guilty. Is that not what you are paying them to do in the first case? People often get upset when they are watching a case go dreadfully wrong in their opinion and the verdict outcome is not to their liking. On the other hand if it directly affects that individual, friends, family, loved ones, associates or bank account; they indeed would want that same lawyer to argue in their favor then all is forgiven. I try my best not to judge a profession in its entirety as good or bad. How could that possibly be fair to all that is doing the right thing by law and the society we live in. Some lawyers obviously are only in it for the money and whatever they have to do to win the case…good or bad...They definitely will not leave the money on the table. So it just depends on if you have had an actual run in with lawyers in my opinion if you actually really have a good or bad view of lawyers. Today I’m all about keeping my networking circle as broad as possible and that circle includes several lawyers who I feel like would definitely come in hand one day if I need any legal questions!!!
