The students enjoy picking their countries and participating in this international competition in the class room. Generally, this approach works best for relatively small classes. One of the most interesting methods of incorporating the game into a course is to have a class contest. Establish the contest rules, time period, and prizes to be awarded at the outset. Let the students participate in determining how the contest is to be conducted.
Students can play against each other or against computer-managed and laissez faire countries.
This could well be one of the most memorable events that students will have in their educational experience. This is a fairly simple and highly beneficial application of the game. The instructor requires each student to submit a preliminary contest entry to the instructor by a specific date. The instructor evaluates the entries, comments on them, and returns them to the students. Later, the students submit their final entries into the contest on their own according to the rules and guidelines described at this web site.
