I mentioned the competition QWERTY and Dvorak keyboard when I was discussing lock-in and coordination games. You can learn more from this IO lecture. If you want to know more about sequential games, see this IO lecture. For more game theory in general, see my game theory course.

Note on Assignments

Classes end Friday May 1. Please turn in all outstanding assignments (Exam 1 corrections, Exam 2 corrections, HW’s you may not have turned in) by then. The sooner you turn in your assignments, the sooner I can update your grades to be the most accurate on Blackboard. All homeworks are graded and the grades are posted (with your homework average) on Blackboard. I have given back all exam corrections I receive in an email with my markup, and your grades are updated on Blackboard.I have a few corrections left to grade if you turned them in over the last day or two!

Problem Set 6 is posted soon, and will not be graded. It is only to help you practice for the Final Exam.

There is also a page for resources about the Final Exam.

Again, you can again estimate your final course grade (as defined by the Syllabus) with the Grade Calculator at the top of the Assignments page.

Additionally, May 1 is the last day to declare that you wish to take any course on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis. Ask me if you have questions about this, or what the optimal strategy is for this.
