Question
1

Do you have
any suggestions to improve this class?Answer

Overall, I
think the class is okay the way it is, but I think that you should add something
like more group work. Also, more examples like your drunk guy going up the
stairs.

It seems the students like group work, but I am not convinced that they learn. Some learn some slack. The Free Rider problem bothers me. I have read the literature on conducting group activities but still…
Group work is a good way to break up the class and refresh the students but as a learning tool!??
