| This question <5|13> overall <5|7> Hans: <4|8>. |
| Exam Question 1: What is wealth? |
| [6] Hans: Please don't be so cautious I did not answer Chocolate's [5] right away, because, to be honest, it made me angry. Just a few minutes earlier I had made submission [4] which contained what I considered to be the right definition of wealth, as an answer to Question 2. I had the impression that Chocolate just repeated it back to me, with minimal embellishments, in order to get a good grade with little effort. Even though the Question number is different, the Questions are closely related, and therefore your grade, had this been graded, would have suffered for not saying anything new. |
| One of the purposes of this class is to encourage you to think independently. I have more respect for an independent thinker, even if I disagree, than for someone who tries to say what I want to hear. In the discussion list for Econ 509 last Quarter, Chocolate made some interesting submissions, which cannot be classified as left or right, but which show that he or she is an independent thinker. I think it will be more fun for all of us, and you will benefit more from this class and probably also get a better grade, if you take on some challenges and write what you think. |
