In this class; we will see how to use board games as a pedagogical tool. Each class will be centered about a subject (history; economics; natural sciences; social justice; morality and ethics; among others). The students will play a game in class whose theme matches the corresponding subject. They will be asked to fill a short questionnaire about the board game that they played and its theme. As a final project; students will choose a topic and a board game; then develop supporting materials (such as brochures; reference cards; images; audio; questionnaires; etc.) that could be used in a classroom setting to teach the chosen topic. NOTE: This seminar will meet 6:20-8:10.
