“We	all	play	occasionally,	and	we	
all	know	what	playing	feels	like.	
But	when	it	comes	to	making	
theoretical	statements	about	
what	play	is,	we	fall	into	silliness.	
There	is	little	agreement	among	
us,	and	much	ambiguity”
Brian	Sutton	Smith
The	Ambiguity	of	Play	(1997:1)

VerBon Cheung:	I	will	work	with	students	in	the	field	of	creative	writing	and	digital	media	design	to	create	the	gaming	
components	for	the	workshops	in	the	upcoming	academic	year	in	S2.	
By	the	end,	I	will	collect	feedback	from	the	PS2813	students	to	evaluate:	a)	the	changes	in	the	level	of	anxiety	from	week	
1	to	week	12,	b)	the	changes	in	the	level	of	efficacy	in	learning	statistics,	and	c)	level	of	satisfaction
I	will	evaluate	level	of	engagement	by	comparing	the	attendance	of	the	workshops	in	2019-2020	from	that	in	2018-2019
