Instructions for use: The Quiz Board consists of two rounds with 30 questions each. The score sheet allows you to enter numbers while in the presentation mode. These scores will remain until you change them so you can proceed through the quiz board and return after each question to add new points. Click on the point amount on each quiz board to jump to the answer slide. Students will then provide you with the question. You will click on the answer to jump to the slide with the correct question. Then click on the score link to jump back to the score page to enter the points that were earned. To go back to the quiz board, click on whichever round you were in from the links on the upper right. After you have completed Round One, Click on Round Two. Round Two has a final answer that can be accessed from the Round Two quiz board. You can allow student to bet whatever amount of points they wish on this final answer. Also there is one bonus question in Round One and two in Round Two that you also can allow students to bet the number of points they choose rather than the set amount. To enter answers and questions, start with slide #5 where you will place the question corresponding with Round One, Category One and Question One. You’ll proceed through all of the slides this way until you have entered the 61 answers and questions (30 for each quiz board and 1 final answer.) You probably want the answers and questions to get tougher as you go along since the point values increase. Also, if you allow students to choose from each quiz board, you may want to print off that slide and mark it as you go through the board so you won’t ask the same question twice. This slide has been set to be invisible in a presentation, so you can leave it for future reference. Contact the Center for Teaching and Learning with any questions!
