Abstract

This article explores an innovative approach to syllabus review using a roleplaying game. The game transforms the traditionally mundane task of reviewing course policies into an engaging, interactive experience. Students assume the roles of characters navigating various academic scenarios, applying syllabus guidelines to solve challenges. Research shows that elements of gaming can increase student engagement and help to develop critical thinking skills. The study examines the game’s implementation and student feedback.
