This class begins with an overview of how the game show "Jeopardy!" functions. (Previous knowledge of how the game works is not necessary to take this class.) Emphasis is placed on the importance of Daily Double and Final Jeopardy wagering. The class will consider how the game can change dramatically at these critical moments. By analyzing several head-scratching examples of common mistakes that players make, learners will gain an understanding of how to evaluate risk/reward properly. 

The goal of this class is NOT to turn learners into good Jeopardy players. The goal is for learners to gain experience thinking flexibly and to base decisions on what a particular situation demands. The class concludes with examples of risk/reward in real life, outside of a game show setting. This is a great class for learners interested in making the best choices possible!
