Instructions for playing the game
BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
This game will be played between professor and students in which
a team will be formed of 4-5 students. The professor will have 10
special ethic cards with questions of academic misconduct and
respective answers on other side of card with the options of A,B,
and C.
The professor will pick randomly one ethic card and question will
be asked to students. Then students will choose one card with
answer that will have correct option and hides from the other
player.
Regarding other cards the students will leave them faced down on
the table so that selected card cannot be changed while hearing
answer.
After making choice the answer will be revealed to professor and
10 points will be given to student who provides correct answer after

collected by everyone on their hands and games continues with

as winner of the game.
