Grand Rounds
The Grand Rounds was a live action role play in our Biotechnology class. I thought it was cool because this kind of assignment is unique and we don't really have a lot of chances to do things like this. Basically we mimed being doctors and used our knowledge about diseases and inheritance to diagnose a disease to a person. We took turns in either being the doctors, and the victims of the different diseases.
