SEP Session 2, Day 5

On Friday in Greatness through Game Theory, students simulated world trade though an "International Computer Game." The objective of the game was to sell computers in different continents to produce the most profit. Groups worked together to decided if they would sell low end , mid range, or high end computers and set a price for their product. Then also choose 2 continents to sell their computers. Students utilized data about the number of computer sales and production prices to determine their product and market. They also had to consider if other teams were competing in the same market at them.

Students in The Curious Case of Poe, read and annotated Poe's short story William Wilson. This four part story chronicles the experience of a man who believes he has a double who appears throughout his life. Students participated in a class discussion about the underlying principles of the story including mimetic theory, Lacan mirror stage, and a doppleganger.
