Jeopardy: the Penultimate Class

Professor Eisman began class by bringing in bells and telling us we were going to have a good day. But first we talked business. We talked about our Something New assignments, and then moved on to our features. Professor Eisman honored us by saying, on the record, "I'm very proud of you." She read excerpts from Stevia's piece as a particularly fine example (congrats!).

Next we moved on to Jeopardy. After some difficulty deciding on judges and typical lively discussion, the game began. As it turned out, the game we played in fact bore very little resemblance to the real-life Jeopardy. Professor Eisman seems to have found the game guaranteed to cause the most argument among her already argumentative class. After a rousing competition, Stevia and Susan received the prizes: two hats from AU's School of Communication.

After the game, we discussed what we will cover in class on Thursday. We will go over study guides for the final exam, which will be on Thursday, 12/10 from 11:20 to 1:50. The exam will cover current news, grammar, and the ability to write in different formats (broadcast, web, print, PSAs, etc.). It will also cover subjects like libel, legality and ethics, with questions like "Is this particular case an example of libel?" On Thursday we will also receive our T-shirts!

Professor Eisman instructed us to remind her about the evaluation forms. We requested that she give us all A's in the class for our remarkable and commendable involvement. Professor Eisman did not respond, and class was dismissed.
