Week 3 EOC: Jeopardy Game

Today I’ll be talking about using the Jeopardy Game as a studying or learning tool, for my Contracts, Negotiations and Copyright class. I was given a power point that was also the Jeopardy game. From my first looks of the game I didn’t think it was a power point throwing me of a little when I found out it was. I didn’t know that you could make something like that with power point, but I soon had to find out how to work it. I’ve worked with power point many times before so it wasn’t to bad for me to use.
When I started looking at the set up on the game I saw that there were links on the pages. I still haven’t looked into how the links work, but I’ll have to do the some other time. What it was that we really had to do was add new Q&A into the slides. Which wasn’t to bad doing just needed to replace their words with mine. I did find looking for topics a little hard. There are so many words that I could put in the power point, but I had to make to go in the right topics. It would have been easier if I had money to get the book sooner. After finding what I wanted to add it went pretty easy.
I feel this was a good idea to help the class study and learn the words. Back in high school we would play Jeopardy also to help us get to know words. That were not as hard as what is in the Patent, Copyright & Trademark Book. This way makes it more fun to learn the words, where most students don’t like to or haven’t read the book. I’m looking forward to next weeks class and to play this game.

week 2 EOC: lawyers


I have never had to use a lawyer, or know anyone that have had to. My knowledge on the matter is from what I see in movies and on T.V. I’m told in class that there not showing how they really are. I never knew if they lose they’ll don’t get paid, that part made me feel a little better if I ever had one and lost. From how there talked about in my class it seems that no one really likes lawyers, but I still think that they can be all that bad. It is there job this is how they make money, this is why I don’t really think that they can be all that bad. I’m sure that there’s a good hand fool of them that only want the money and don’t really want to help, but this can be said for many other people too.There isn’t is much that I can add to this topic. You ask how I feel and or what is it I think about lawyers. It’s a good thing in my eyes that we have them, but one thing I’ve seen that has upset people is the money. Lawyers cost you so much making me almost think I do we even need them, but then they can be very helpful to your case. Maybe if they didn’t cost and arm and a leg they wouldn’t have such a bad rep. Also if it really came down to it I still think if I had the money for one that I would use a lawyer. It would be better to have one and win, beside if I’m understanding it right I would have to pay if I lost but as I said I still don’t know all the info. I just hope when the time comes for me to have one everything will go fine.
