We didn't have a class this week as David was away at the annual conference of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making. This took me back to my readings of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's books "The Black Swan" and "Fooled by Randomness" over the summer, in one of which he mentions attending just such conference. I'm wondering if David came across him this time? By the way, I can thoroughly recommend both books.
Our group used the time last week to have a meeting to discuss our group wiki page and what needed to be done to complete it before the extended deadline. I don't know about everyone else, but I've found creating the wiki page an interesting challenge. It's very different from writing essays or other types of group work that I've done so far, but overall I think I like it as a form of assessment. I think it also makes group work a bit easier because so much can be done in your own time and the ability to leave comments is a good replacement for face to face meetings, which can sometimes be difficult just from the point of view of getting people together.
So, it's on to the next wiki page...
