During the two hour final examination period or last scheduled class or the last week of the term for the distance learning students, all students will participate in an 90 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 three 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 three of the twenty 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,
3. The 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. Fall Term 2002 the winner answered 40. The elearningers in the Spring 2003 out did the classroom students with 50 answered versus 40 for the class. Completion of the minimum of twenty questions will earn the student 300 points.Sample Question:
