Week 7 Day 1

Week 7 Day 1

Today, Mr Rick gave us a very unusual homework. He asked us to play games, to be specific educational game. It's called the battlefield academy, the game tested our skill at commanding our own troops to protect a certain area. However you must really see the landscape well to win. For example, you must not let your troops go inside the trenches and the forest defend some of the damage but not all. It's a very fun game for the one who like strategic games.

1. What was the topic of the day and what important parts were learned? Demonstrate understanding and application.

For the history class this week (day 1), there was an IT based exam that we had to do, related with the presentation that we had done just a week ago. Before this, we had to memorize all the important informations that are probably going to be on the test. These informations include things about the world war and what had happened during those times, what weapons they used, etc. There are a lot more topics that we have to study, but these are just some examples.

2. Critical thinking: was there a discussion? BHQ's? Give an analysis and evaluation; compare and contrast the scenario and find evidence of it happening elsewhere? Demonstrates analysis and evaluation.

There was no discussions held on that day, it was fairly quiet since we were all on test mode. The only thing we did as a team was just discuss the IT based exam, and the answers that we have given for that exam. Some of us got it wrong and another one of us got it right. We discussed the things that were in the test and the things we thought were going to be in the test but ended up not being in the test. 

3. What was done, who did it and how was it assessed?

What we basically done was just stay quiet while we do the test and we just stayed quiet until everyone finished their IT based exam. The one who talks before everyone finished will get an instant 0 because they are considered to be disturbing the others who haven't finish their test. The whole class stayed quiet till about 40 minutes. Everyone finished the test in time, and still had some minutes to spare for checking their final scores.

4. How was the team performance? What can be done to improve (how are we implementing Kaizen daily).

The team performance was fairly okay since there wasn't that much team work needed for a TEST. We just discussed what were in the test and we took notes of the things that we missed on the test and put it on our coursework file so we wont forget it if it comes out on another IT based test next time. The things that we wrote on the coursework file was a lot since some of us got a lot of mistakes in the test/exam.

This is us after we have finished the IT based exam and are checking our scores
