Debriefing the Wildlife Survey

Great job, everyone, with the Wildlife Survey today. Full disclosure: It was the first time I'd done an exercise like that. I had a handout prepared with a list of all the characters I had assigned, so that if everyone had difficulty identifying one another, they would at least be able to narrow down the range of possibilities. I thought about handing it out from the start, but then I decided I'd see how things went without it. As you all now know, at no point during the class session did it seem like such a crutch would be necessary--you guys displayed impressive recall, ingenuity, and collegiality in making the exercise work. Well done, all of you.
