We watched the Freakonomics segment on cheating, "Pure Corruption", which addressed how & why Sumo wrestlers in Japan cheated. Economics tends to focus on the study of incentives - the how & why people make decisions to satisfy needs and wants. It's complex, yet very interesting to study - exactly what I'd have chosen to concentrate in if I was a college student today. After the 25-minute segment, we are asking you to complete the following survey. You will need every minute at the end of class to complete the survey in time, so DO NOT WASTE IT!
You must be logged in via your MPS Google Account to COMPLETE THIS SURVEY!

Multitasking & Survey HW
We watched a video about Multitasking. You started by titling a page in your notebook, "Multitasking is..." and then we started the video (embedded below). We also gave you some HW, the 2016 Presidential Candidate Viewpoint Survey Matching handout, which has 80 Yes/No questions. Simply answer the questions you understand by Friday and come prepared to ask about those you do not.
For tomorrow's tutorials, we are simply asking you to come with any math or other Level 1 questions for which you need help in a roundtable style.
Also, let's have NO MISSING ASSIGNMENTS in ANY 4-CORE CLASS by NEXT FRIDAY. This gives you 10 days to clear up any past missing assignments. We'll figure out what kind of reward awaits the class(es) that meet this simple expectation.
