New Ideas & Materials for Educators & Students
In this booklet, we provide suggestions, content and teaching material for how to modernise and enrich game theory courses. In doing so we hope to assist educators in improving and adapting the courses they teach, as well as helping students make suggestions for how this could be done. It is important to note that we pose all these suggestions as potential sources of inspiration, not a checklist of all the things that necessarily should be included. After all, there is a practical limit to what can be taught within a single course.
