Interim course tests students' problem-solving skills

Wofford students escaped a serial killer and saved Boss from Professor F. Urman during Interim.

The two adventures were part of the Breakout Games course. Taught by Dr. Jenny Bem, associate professor of accounting, and Dr. Amanda Olsen, associate professor of accounting, the course was designed to help participants sharpen their critical thinking and teamwork skills through breakout games and escape rooms.

"Each class, we would work on logic problems to push our brains," Bem says. "We also visited some escape rooms to challenge ourselves and put those skills to use."

For their final project, students created their own escape rooms in Olin Building and invited their peers to try to break out of them.
