New Year! New teams for the Arocena Cup!

Finally got around to doing this.  Sorry for all the students who checked earlier this year.  I didn't update it as well as I should have.  Moving forward I will try to do a better job of updating this with regards to test days and assignment lists.

Anyways I do have an update to the Arocena Cup competition this year.

In Block 1 Chemistry 12 the teams are Team Swamp vs Team Forest.  Currently Team Swamp has 13 points while Team Forest has 12 points.  It looked like Team Forest was going to run away with the competition early but the Swamp Things fought back to take the lead!

In Block 2 Physics 11, the teams are Team Servo and Team Golem.  Pretty close at 5 points to 6.

In Block 4 Chemistry 11, Team Island is taking on Team Mountain and are doing a pretty good job of keeping things close at 9 to 8.

Although I have a Block 3 class (Robotics) it was too small at the beginning to have a good competitive environment so I opted to not run the Arocena Cup in that block.  Things have changed though and the class has grown so they will have the opportunity to compete for the Arocena Cup as well soon!

Good luck to all the teams and may the odds ever be in your favour!

Chem 11 Arocena Cup Update

Stoichiometry test results are in!

Highest score goes to Team Left (only because the highest scores on Team Right already scored a point) and the last question point goes to Team Left as well!  There were a few good answers from both sides but the deciding factor was that a few members of Team Right didn't answer the last question.  As a result Team Left wins that point through sheer volume of interesting/amusing/creative answers.

Scores are now

Team Left - 7

Team Right - 5

Arocena Cup Update

Been a while since I updated anything here!  Apologies to all my students.

Anyways a new term has started so here are how the teams are stacking up in the Arocena Cup race.

Block 1
Team First 2 Rows - 11
Team Last 2 Rows - 11

Fierce competition here and a lot closer than what might have been expected.  Good work by both sides to keep things close and entertaining.

Block 2
Team Right - 3
Team Left - 3

Chemistry slowed us down a bit but both sides are still even.  Not much time to competitions but that may change this term so still lots of opportunity to earn points.

Block 3
Team Right - 4
Team Left - 4

Both sides have some strong members (both academically and artistically) so this should be a close match up until the end.  Only 3 tests left though so the teams will have to make the most out of each opportunity to earn points.

Block 4
Team Right - 5
Team Left - 5

Much like Block 3, both sides have some strong competitors.  Lots of material left to cover so lots of opportunities to earn points.  Keep working hard until the end!

Arocena Cup Update

Tests have been marked in all classes and the following teams in each block have earned points based on the highest score and the answers to the last question on the tests.

Block 1
Sahej earns a point for Team Left for the highest score on the Chapter 1 test but Kiah had the most amusing answer to the last question so earns Team Right a point.
Scores are
Team Left 2
Team Right 1

Block 2
Christian earns the highest score on the Chapter 1 test earning Team Left a point so that ties things up in this block.
Team Left 1
Team Right 1

Block 3
Shelby earns a perfect mark on the Unit 1 test so gives Team Left a point but Sara earns Team Right a point for her answer to the last question on the test.
Scores are
Team Left 2
Team Right 1

Arocena Cup Winners for First Semester 2015-2016 Year

I forgot to mention this at the end of last semester.

Winners of the Arocena Cup are as follows
In Pre-Calculus 12 there was a tie between the recently renamed Brotherhood of Steel (Brad, Kris, Austin and Markas) and Team B (Shelby, Sylvia, Sidney the non-twin and Hannah)

In Chemistry 11 there was also a tie between Team RFM (Rylin, Felicia and Megan) and Team C (Alyssa, Leah, Kelson and Mikoda)

Your names have been added to the cup!  Enjoy being part of the elite group of students that have won the Arocena Cup before you!

Chemistry 11 - Arocena Cup Results so far.

So Team Left scored 1 point earlier last week for the most insightful observation and inference about me, but Team Right struck back quickly on the last unit test picking up 2 points.  1 for the highest score on the test by Beth and 1 for Rayea's answer on the last question which I deemed the most interesting (although Mari had a good one as well)

Scores in this block are
Team Left - 1
Team Right - 2

First off, congrats to Team A, B, and F on scoring in the top 3 of today's review game.  Well done!
For the Chapter 5 test Team E scores the point for the last question on the Chapter 5 test because of Catherine's amazing rendition of one of the greatest racing games of all time.
I've also been negligent in giving points for high scores for tests.  So retroactively, Team H earns a point for Lane's high score on the Chapter 4 test, and Team H earns another point for Olin's high score on the Chapter 5 test.
Well done to all teams who scored points!
