This teaching exercise highlights the obstacle of biases in decision-making, allowing students to generate examples of potentially poor decision-making rooted in abundant and unwanted bias. This exercise has two parts: a pre-class, online survey in which students provide responses to common decision-making problems and an in-class discussion in which the results are debriefed (showing that students exhibit these biases).
