One of your assignments as a student in this class is to partner with another student in the class and take special responsibility for a small segment of the course. (This will involve being a presenter and a respondent, writing study questions and test questions, and other activities such as writing paper questions and recommending reading selections. Your grade for these tasks will determine 9 percent of your overall grade.) To promote equal access to the segments generally deemed more desirable (whichever those may be), and to avoid having the schedule determined by the vagaries of who is sitting where as a sign-up sheet gets passed around, I’m using this bid sheet.
Here is how it will work. You’ll assign points to your most-preferred segments, and I’ll “auction off” the segments to the highest bidders, two bidders per segment. Some additional rules:
Some observations:
Following are the segments of the course; nine remain open for bidding. Please write your bids in the second column and add them up at the end. Since you must bid on at least five segments, there must not be more than four open segments on which you do not bid.
