SURVIVOR MICRO

OFFICIAL WEBSITE

SURVIVOR MICRO is the website dedicated to the gods of marginal analysis.   Professor Baker's microeconomics students play SURVIVOR MICRO during the term by answering economics questions and compiling "survivor points."  At the end of the semester students with the most survivor points compete in the "final challenge."   In the final challenge, one missed answer votes you off the island.  The final challenge continues until there is a sole survivor who is rewarded with an automatic "A" for the semester and wins "final exam immunity."
