Spring 2020 - There are two parts of this lab. Lab lecture and the group project. The lab lecture is Sadzik talking about applications to what you learned in class. I enjoyed this part because it supplemented what we were learning very well. The main part of the lab is a group project called "Econ in Action" which is essentially creating a game using your knowledge in game theory and explaining the theory and your findings behind the game, which is 100% of your grade. It was an easy A to say the least and as long as you're proactive with you project, it isn't much work at all. The TAs are there to help guide you to make sure that your reasoning is not flawed either. Your grade is ultimately determined by the Alumni that you are presenting to but they are super kind and grade easily.
