7. Make 101 Better through Public Policy
The reason I am giving the 101 society this opportunity is to help all students improve their skills and knowledge.
This public interest should be the goal of your actions today, not your selfish private interests.

8. The Class Decision Can Only Help You
If either the Conservative or Socialist System is chosen, students who would be better off with the Traditional System will receive the grade designated under the Traditional System.

10. Grading Exercise Reflections
About the Behavior of Players
Act like dogs (barking to vent; groveling for scraps)
Can’t tell if public interest is a cover for private self-interest
• Coplin explained how students acted, examples above
Lack knowledge and understanding

11. WORST OF ALL
Dale Carnegie was ignored

12. Reflections on Politics
Minority always shapes outcome in some way
Subsidies too appealing to ignore
Procedural decisions have substantive consequences
Equality is a very confusing idea

13. A Failure in Leadership
Strategic Thinking
Fear of Power
Guts
