For one who took 2 courses about aspects of Game Theory, I can say that its a really mathematical subject, or at least how does teachers present it. To be good at a subject and really understand it, one should be love it and really show an interest in it. The way this professor makes his students really live the subject, is prone to success. By asking the rights questions, such: "Would cooperation be rewarded or counter-productive? Would a large group work better, or smaller subgroups with specified tasks? What about “scroungers” who didn’t study but were planning to parasitize everyone else’s hard work? How much reciprocity would be demanded in order to share benefits? Was the test going to play out like a dog-eat-dog Hunger Games?" Through these questions the students began to have an idea what this Game Theory is all about.
