To improve this experiment and lesson, I suggest:

  1. To modify the game so that some students would not have to "wait and be left idle" for so long before his/her turn to join the activity.
  2. Select QC should be confirmed to a clear standard.
  3. Find one person, may be a teaching assistant to be the QC, not find other group member.

T8 I will use this experiment in my teaching. Y = 21; N = 4; N/A = 4
T9 Through the use of experiments, both teaching and learning of Economics will be enhanced.

To improve this experiment and lesson, I suggest:

  1. It would be better if the outcome of diminishing MP could be illustrated without the need of adding too many labor.
