In cases where the instructor notices lack of depth in thequestions, they can stimulate the discussion by injecting deeper questions on Piazza withoutproviding the answer.Stage 2 - Learning: The second phase, learning, happens periodically throughout the term in theday(s) before upcoming mini-tests. Students are given a schedule of when mini-tests occur at thestart of the semester. In this phase, discussion on Piazza is frozen, and students are given theopportunity to study each other’s questions in preparation for the mini-test.Stage 3 - Quiz: In the third phase students are required to take the test (individually), where thequestions in the quiz will be only from

Additionally, an important logistical element of the activity centered on the timingof the mock career fair in coordination with the actual career fairs on campus. Students werethen able to reflect on their experiences in the classroom, establish conclusions, and try out whatthey learned and refine their pitch during the actual career fair the following day(s). Thislogistical consideration provided ease in confirming employer attendance.
