Jeopardy Reviews

Let me know what you Loved, hated, found interesting. What did you expect and were your expectations met? What you thought of the questions, etc.


Comments:


Rutgers University student (NUI alumnus):


I loved that fact that the students of Noor-Ul-Iman came to an event that they felt really comfortable in. I really believe that it's important that we start teaching children that they are integral parts of the community regardless of what any uncle/'amoo may say. From the type of event that it was--engaging on so many levels, children will feel comfortable setting foot in the masjid.

At times i felt that it got too loud, and the room was just a big mess. It got really crowded at points. I think that some rules/etiquettes should be gone over before the game.

I thought the questions were very age-appropriate. Maybe the next game could be a follow-up to an engaging lecture/Islamic History seminar of some sort. So that kids can feel obligated to attend the lecture to rack up the points/prepare for the next jeopardy game.

Those are my two cents!




ISCJ Youth:


I really thought the jeopardy worked out really nice. I did come towards the end but from what i saw it was a great success.

Noor-Ul-Iman School Teacher:


I thought Friday night Jeopardy at ISCJ was a time well spent with both the adults and students. Everyone seemed to have a fun time in the masjid playing and answering some challenging questions. I enjoyed and would suggest having more events like this where the community gets together. I definitely came out learning some interesting Islamic facts that I didn't know before. The best part of the game was the realistic Jeopardy game board and the candy. So, when's the next game?!

Jeopardy Categories Revealed!!!


For the very first time the categories for tonight's (Jan. 23, 2009) program has been revealed. Contestant are asked to review their Islamic Studies notes and be prepared for some tough questions. Program Host, Basem Hassan is very optimistic and is hoping for a large youth turn out. South Brunswick High School students and Noor-Ul-Iman School students are going to be the integral part of this youth initiative. Organizer and youth coordinator Faraz Khan simply said "I can't wait for that candy shower during Jeopardy." Rumor has it that the games will be played between Parents and students OR Boys Vs Girls. But again, who know Alex Trebek may show up for the game too!

What is Jeopardy?

hmm! Where have you been? (see below)
