colspan="2">This site is based on the <b>perception of game theory</b> as the study of a set of <b>considerations</b> used by individuals in strategic situations.  Models are not seen as depictions of how individuals actually play game-like situations and are not meant to be used as the basis for a recommendation on how to play real "games".  My goal as a teacher is to deliver a loud and clear message that game theoretic models are not meant to supply predictions of strategic behavior in real life. <p>It is suggested that students be asked to complete two types of assignments: "<b>post-class</b>" problems, which are standard exercises found in any game theory text. Such problems should induce students to model verbal situations as games and investigate game theoretic solution concepts studied in class. And, "<b>pre-class</b>" problems, which are game theoretic problems of the type "imagine that you are participating in a game where... What will you play?"  </p><p>This site is designed to make it easy for a teacher to <b>manage the assignment of pre-class problems</b>.  A teacher can assemble problems from the bank available on this site.   The responses will be collected by the site and will be available only to the teacher. This allows a teacher to begin a lecture in possession of statistics regarding his class' results. The choice of problems was intended to show that while some of the results may fit the conventional analysis, others do not.  This is in line with the idea that Game Theory is simply a collection of considerations which may or may not be used in real life. </p><p>Note that the assignment of pre-class problem sets can help students concentrate on examples discussed later in class. It is not a trivial task for students to absorb several games in one class and this method facilitates their understanding of the material. <br/><br/>The site provides a cheap and convenient tool for experimentation. I am fully aware of the potential for criticism of this method since no monetary rewards are offered. However, comparisons of the results received in class with those received in more standard frameworks show, in my opinion (and I know this may be controversial), insignificant differences. </p></td></tr><tr><td valign="baseline" align="center" colspan="3" height="2"><img height="5" alt="" src="http://gametheory.tau.ac.il/Images/spacer.gif" width="5"/></td></tr><tr><td valign="baseline" align="center" width="16"><img height="8" alt="" src="http://gametheory.tau.ac.il/Images/bullet1.gif" width="8"/></td><td class="heb2" valign="top" colspan="2"><b>A clarification of confidentiality issues</b>: <br/>An instructor will have access to a list of the students who have registered for his course and a list of completed problem sets for each student.
