What can I do if students are getting zero or negative balances as their session moves along, or the Expert-to-Student Name changes unexpectedly?
If students entered their names in Expert fields using commas like this: CHEMIST: John ECOLOGIST: Mary, Sue ETHNOBOTANIST: Fred TAXONOMIST: Lisa Then the next time the random expert/student picker spins, the names will look like this: CHEMIST: John ECOLOGIST: Mary ETHNOBOTANIST: Sue TAXONOMIST: Fred This shift (caused by entering commas) in the data file will affect the team’s budget balance negative (-$8,000 ) or zero ($0). SOLUTION: Don’t use commas in any of these text fields. The game file that stores the data relies on commas to keep the information sorted properly. Top Q: Can I print the Sign-In quiz and the student answers. A: There is not a print option available for the Sign-In quiz. Students should write the answers on their Field Worksheets. The answers for the Quiz are as follows: Ecologist: Australia Taxonomist: wasp Ethnobotanist: fern Plant Chemist: rafflesia NOTE: The order in which these answers are written is different from the Teacher’s Guide. This is the correct seq
