Slide 11 Impact of Your Decision 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. Slide 12 Rules For The Grading Exercise The final policy must be selected from one of the three proposals. Grading policy must be unanimously agreed upon OR there must be a unanimous agreement on a voting procedure to reach a decision on the grading policy. Final vote will be a secret ballot. Each speaker must stand to speak and be given courteous attention. Any disorder will result in a 60 second period of silence. Decision must be reached by 1:30 p.m. Slide 13 Grading Exercise Reflections About the Behavior of Players Act like dogs (barking to vent; groveling for scraps) Cant tell if public interest is a cover for private interest Lack knowledge and understanding Slide 14 Grading Exercise Reflections Minority always shapes outcome in some way Subsidies too appealing to ignore Procedural decisions have substantive consequences Equality is a very confusing idea Slide 15 Grading Exercise Reflections A Failure in Leadership Strategic Thinking Fear of Power Guts Slide 16 Grade Exercise Reflections The only way to get the best out of an argument is to avoid it.
