To Present or Not To Present: Are Students Rational?

Two students requested their oral presentations in an Economics class to be rescheduled for another day.

She proposed a solution which created a dynamic game of complete information, learned in undergraduate courses in Game Theory, Principles of Microeconomics and Intermediate Microeconomics.
