This fall I am co-chairing the Synergy conference this fall (more
information at http://synergy-2013.blogspot.com). We have decided that we
would like to showcase some short - meaning between 30 and 40 minutes in
length videos that people may not have seen before. An example is the
video, The
Instructor had a grading rule for his computer science class: The best score on
the exam will get an A, with all other grades set with respect to that score.
The students cooperated to boycott the midterm. The highest score was,
therefore, a no show which all students did meaning all got an A.
Talk about a prisoner's dilemma! If just one student had turned up, all but
s/he would have gotten Fs.

class declare that everyone was just going to answer one question. I told
You could do it the other way -- say that you'll give the worst exam an F, and
mark everyone else up from there. Then they couldn't judo it with a mass
no-show. (Besides, as I keep telling them, you don't start at 100 and get
marked down for wrong answers; you start at 0 and get marked *up* for
Although it has been out almost 10 years now, I just discovered this video
of Albert Bandura explaining his Social Cognitive Theory a year or two ago:

I don't understand the logic in this situation. If someone in my class doesn't
show up, they get an F. In this case no one showed up so the highest grade in
the class was an F which was matched by everyone in the class; therefore, they
all get an F.

Dear TIPSters,
Is PMDD now listed as a *bona fide* disorder in the DSM V (and not
depression nos)?
