According to the anecdotal observations, there is a high rate ofinterest shown in the exhibit by visitors who walked by, showing that the task of attracting thevisitors may also be fulfilled. This will be confirmed with a future observational study devotedmeasuring this potential of the exhibit.

The reader can see that only oneteam (Team 5) out of the 5 teams performed above the maximum individual. Three of the teamsscored below the maximum individual, and one team did the same as the best individual. As aside note, with three of the teams performing worse than the best individual, this demonstratesthat one member did not carry/dominate the entire team. Still only one of the five teams had this Page 11.1061.7super-performance. Given the circumstances of newly formed teams, the result was

The class makes use of video clips containing re-enactments of published empiricalstudies that demonstrate why people act unethically.

However, the resulting setup worked very well and student resultswere positive.
