Hi all, As the semester winds down, I was thinking about making the last class meeting (which will be mostly review) a sort of team competition. That is, as a way of reviewing the semester's material, have teams compete to answer review questions. I have thirteen teams and they typically use whiteboards to report their application answers so I guess I'm thinking something like the first team to raise their whiteboard gets the chance to answer the question (of course, a 'good' answer will depend on their justification of their choice). I'm just curious if anyone has done something like this and if so, a) do you think it was a useful exercise and b) how exactly did you set things up (e.g., did you let the team decide who on the team would answer for the team or is it better to pick someone randomly; if the team's response isn't that great, how do you choose another team to challenge, etc.)? I guess my concern is that after a semester of encouraging students to get input from everyone on their team to craft a consensus, creating a competition might lead them to just rely on their 'strongest' member to simply answer for them. thanks, Jennifer **************************** Jennifer Imazeki Department of Economics San Diego State University homepage: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~jimazeki/ Economics for Teachers blog: http://economicsforteachers.blogspot.com
