Scavenger Hunt Menu
During the two hour final examination period or last scheduled class, all students will participate in an 80 minute scavenger hunt on the Internet to demonstrate their searching and researching skills. The students may use their texts and notes during the competition.
Each student will submit two questions toward the hunt with answers and the URL where the answer may be found. The answer must be available on the Internet. The instructor will suggest at least 10-20 questions. If the student submits the questions via an email to the instructor (with cc's the instructor's secondary email sites), then the student has completed successfully two of the ten question minimum requirement. The student will not have to attempt his/her own questions during the hunt. The email must include:
1. The Question,
2. The answer with complete URL where the answer is found.
If no one answers a student's question, then the student earns a bonus point (as though they answered a question correctly)
The URL for the hunt will not be posted until the beginning of the last class. Links to the last three hunts are available on the instructor's web site. The winner from the Fall term 2000 answered 24 questions successfully in 100 minutes, while there was a tie at 16 ½ questions each for the Fall term, 1999. Spring term 2001, the winner answered 21 questions. Spring Term 2002 the winner answered 34 questions. Completion of the minimum of ten questions will earn the student 250 points. The students finishing 1,2,3 will earn certificates of merit or small prizes provided by the instructor and be placed on the CGS 1555 honor roll on instructor's home page as the champion surfers for the term.
