INLS 200: a Google a day
From Pomerantz
Google has recently launched a Google a day, which is a game, of sorts, that tests your Google search skills. There is a new puzzle every day.
Play a Google a day. Maybe not every day, but occasionally. I have embedded the a Google a day widget into this page on the course site. Post your answer in the Comments, along with a brief explanation of your search process. Feel free to also submit your answer to a Google a day.
For every a Google a day submission you make (to the course site, not to Google), subject to the caveats below, you get an additional ½ point added onto your final semester grade. (1 point = 1/100th of your final grade total. So 3 or 4 points (depending on where you're starting from), or approximately one week's worth of a Google a day submissions = 1 grade; e.g., from B+ to A-.)
Caveats:
- First come first served: Only the first student to submit an a Google a day answer to the course site on any given day gets the additional ½ point.
- Today only: Only answers to the current day's a Google a day gets the additional ½ point.
