Political Science-LawCraft, February 24, 2014

Today you will be testing out software called LawCraft.  The intent of this game is a interactive wrap-up of the unit on Congress.  Just like the last software game you were asked to evaluate, you are asked to evaluate this in a similar fashion.  Play it once all the way through and if you have time, start a second round to see if you can improve, or just simply try some different things.  In the final 5 minutes of the hour, you will be given a sheet to construct your evaluation.  Simply answer the following questions:

1. What did you think of the game overall?
2. What did you like about it?
3. What parts of the game could stand to be improved?
4. Would you be willing to try to evaluate more software from this website in the future?

Here is the link to the website:

You will need to click "Play"-> Next you will need to scroll down and click on the "View All Games" link located about halfway down the page->then look for LawCraft.
Good luck!
