I contemplated not doing this assignment for a very long time. I have really enjoyed this class and have learned a lot up until this assignment. I really didn't like this assignment and would highly advise against having future students waste their money on doing this. I hope people find these videos slightly entertaining because I think that is the most anyone will get out of this assignment. For that reason I am including all five of my attempts at handing out the dollar below.
Out of the five attempts, I ended up only losing one dollar. I tried to make it sound like a sales pitch with a catch so that they wouldn't take the dollar. I think I could have easily handed out the dollars if I changed my pitch and asked people that looked like they needed the dollar. I was not surprised by the results because my prediction was correct.
Hi Robert,
ReplyDeleteLike you, I was not very fond of this assignment. I thought it would be a waste of time and money. However, I never thought that people would actually accept the free money, because its a weird thing to accept! I was very close to not doing this assignment, but my friend convinced me last minute. Its very entertaining to watch the videos and I applaud you for posting all 5 attempts! Keep up the good work. You can check out mine here:

Robert,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion on this assignment because, like you, I found it to be a waste of time and I didn't get much out of it. I had a little bit easier time than you giving away my dollars and I think it is because I was on campus around students who are used to being harassed by random students giving stuff away. Overall, I really enjoyed watching your videos. Check out my attempts if you can, http://chrispate25.blogspot.com/2016/02/week-7-free-money.html
