Itprovides an in-depth analysis of the Role-play approach, its purpose, benefits, challenges, outcomes,
and student feedback, specifically within the context of a complex optimization problem.
Primary Objective of Implementing Role play was
• To improve speaking fluency, oral interaction skills and confidence of students
• To encourage students to think more critically about complex topics.
• To help shy students improve their ability to speak and interact and promote overall confidence.

A linked list is a way to organize data in a sequence. It consists of nodes, where each node contains
information and a link to the next node. Unlike arrays, linked lists can change in size easily, making them
flexible for dynamic data. They are efficient for inserting and deleting elements. Linked lists come in
different types, like Singly linked lists (nodes point to the next node) and Doubly linked lists nodes point
to both the next and previous nodes.

The RolePlay approach yielded positive outcomes:
• Role-playing led to deep-level learning outcomes that lasted for a long time.
• Role-playing helped students develop skills like decision-making, problem-solving,
communication, teamwork, and leadership.

Student feedback was instrumental in assessing the success of the RolePlay approach. Overall,
students expressed satisfaction with the active learning experience and the tangible improvement in
their problem-solving abilities. The session was ended with few questions and doubts asked by the
students.

In conclusion, the implementation of RolePlay for “Singly linked list underscores the potential of this
