Abstract 

The goal of this project was to further our understanding of how students learn. Does re-viewing for exams using certain teaching methods actually enhance students’ learning of course material? Through a comparative analysis of two sections of the same class the researchers tested to see if using crossword puzzles as a ‘fun’ review technique actually affects students’ exam scores as evidence of successful learning. The results revealed that some classes benefited while others did not.

Keywords: Games, teaching methods, learning, exam review.
